Could you build this?
Partial Reading undocumented MacBook lid angle sensor data via private IOKit/AppleSMC interfaces and triggering macOS workspace switching requires specialized low-level Apple reverse-engineering.
What it would actually take: The app requires a Swift macOS menu bar app that queries the private Apple SMC or undocumented IOHID/IOKit lid angle sensor registers present in recent MacBooks. The hard part is reverse-engineering and reliably reading these private sensor APIs without kernel panics or permission issues, and programmatically orchestrating macOS Space/Mission Control transitions via undocumented CoreGraphics private APIs.
