Flip your MacBook screen around

Lay a touchscreen MacBook Pro flat and the picture is upside down from where you sit. Flip Screen turns it to face you.

On its own, when you lay it down

Flip Screen reads the lid's motion sensor. When the screen lies flat on the table, the picture turns 180 degrees to face you. Lift it back up and it turns back.

With one shortcut, from anywhere

Press Control Option Command F to turn the screen whenever you want it, in any app. Press it again to turn it back. The same switch is in Flip Screen's settings as Flip Screen Now.

How to set it down

Lay the screen flat on the table and let the keyboard half lean back over it at about 45 degrees. Open it further and it can tip backwards.

Then type and tap on the glass

Once it faces you, tap a text box and a full-size keyboard slides up on the screen, with the line you are typing right above it. See the on-screen keyboard. With Pro, a Touch Bar runs along the edge nearest you.
