Could you build this?
Partial The dual-screen UI concepts can be vibe-coded, but reading MacBook lid angles requires reverse-engineering undocumented Apple private IOKit / SMC hardware sensors.
What it would actually take: Needs a native Swift/Objective-C macOS app interfacing with undocumented IOKit APIs or the Apple SMC (System Management Controller) to poll the lid angle sensor present in modern MacBooks. The hard part is reverse-engineering unpublished Apple Silicon sensor keys and maintaining stability across macOS versions without official public APIs.
