SlapMacReal movement. A natural response.
Driven by the sensor already inside your MacBook. Smoothed motion keeps the cues flowing through acceleration, braking, and turns.
BUILT INTO SLAPMAC
Reading on the bus?
Try Motion Cues.
If using your Mac on a bus or train makes you feel queasy, these dots might help.
They move with your MacBook. You choose how they look.

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HERE & THEREA little space
A little space
to stay with the page.
A window seat. An open afternoon.
A few words you finally have time for.
The journey carries on around you.
Your focus stays right here.

01 / THE IDEA
Let your screen in
on the journey.
On a train, a bus, or in the passenger seat, you feel the journey while your eyes stay on a still screen.
Motion Cues brings a little of that movement into view. Your MacBook’s accelerometer translates acceleration into flowing cues at the edges of your display, designed to make screen time on the move more comfortable.
The idea behind vehicle motion cues.
With a distinctly SlapMac personality.
02 / THE DETAILS
In the periphery.
Never in the way.
A small detail that deserves a lot of thought.
Your work stays center stage.
Cues live in narrow bands at the screen edges. The overlay lets clicks pass through and follows you across apps, Spaces, and full-screen windows.
Find your kind of subtle.
Choose your look, then fine-tune size, spread, visibility, and ball count. Pick Gentle, Balanced, or Responsive sensitivity, and reverse either direction if you prefer.

BEFORE YOU SET OFF
Settle in, then switch on.
For passengers facing forward. Keep your Mac steady while the sensor settles; use Recenter after changing its position. Cues appear on the active, unmirrored built-in display.
A little room for each effect.
Lid Effects’ desktop folding pauses while Motion Cues is active. If you use Apple’s Vehicle Motion Cues too, switch those off for a single set of cues.
One look, one extra permission.
Simple inverts the desktop beneath each cue and needs Screen Recording permission. Lava, Ice, and Beacon work without that permission.
