That amazing iPhone Duo open animation has already come to the MacBook

Macworld You can always count on Apple to do nice little touches that arent really that big of a deal, but they enhance the user experience. The latest example is with the iPhone Duo , where, if you open or close the phone, the screen does a perspecive blur animation to signify to the user that the active screens are switching. You know, the iPhone Duo isnt the only Apple product that opens up to a display. Wouldnt it be cool if the same effect could happen on the MacBook? Now it can! Dhananjay Bhosale created Mac Duo , a free app that creates a similar effect whenever you close your MacBook. I built Mac Duo Same effect as iPhone Duo but for MacBook Plus 4 new effects that bend, blur & disappear as you move the lid Fully open source Free to download Ridiculously fun Your hinge deserves this https://t.co/joUvUqgVKp Feedback here- pic.twitter.com/LcGT54M5T4 Dhananjay_Tech (@Dhananjay_Tech) September 10, 2026 I installed Mac Duo and spent the past 10 minutes opening and closing my MacBook Pros lid just to watch the animation. Its fun. Its not usefulnothing wrong with that! Mac Duo offers six different animations to suit your personality. If you install it, when you launch the app, you wont be able to because the app is not notarized, so after you try to launch it you need to go into System Settings > Privacy & Security , scroll down to the Security section, and click Open Anyway in the notification.
