About
Latch reads your MacBook's hinge angle. Animations follow the lid as it moves, so stop halfway and they stop too. Actions mute, dim or run any Shortcut at an angle you choose, and put things back when the lid comes up. Nothing leaves your Mac.
AI Summary
Latch is a Mac menu bar app that tracks the hinge angle of your MacBook lid to trigger animations and actions, such as muting or dimming, based on its position. All functionalities operate locally on your device without external data transfer.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
