Summary
This is a GitHub repository for a utility called 'LidAngleSensor' that reads the lid angle sensor data from newer MacBook Pro models (2019 16-inch and later). The tool displays the current lid angle and can optionally play a wooden door creaking sound when the lid is adjusted very slowly. The repository includes an FAQ section explaining what the lid angle sensor is and which devices support it.
