For macOS

A little sound before your Mac goes quiet

ShutIt plays the sound of your choice the instant you close your MacBook lid — a tiny, satisfying goodbye every time your Mac drifts off to sleep.

Requires macOS 10.15 or later · Intel & Apple Silicon · The same clamshell signal on every Mac.

Your sound, on close

Drop in any MP3 and hear it the moment the lid shuts. Make it a chime, a voice, a meme — whatever says goodnight.

Every Mac with a lid

The exact same clamshell and power-sleep signal from a 2011 MacBook Pro to the latest models. Build once, works everywhere.

Quietly in the background

A feather-light listener keeps watch after you close the window. No menu-bar clutter, no fuss — it just waits for the lid.

Test before you trust it

One tap plays your exact close sound — and only one play at a time, so there are never any surprises when it matters.

Three taps and you're set

1

Drop your sound

Drag any MP3 onto ShutIt to set it as your lid sound.

2

Repair the listener

Approve the one-time prompt so ShutIt can watch for the lid in the background.

3

Close the lid

That's it. Every time your Mac goes to sleep, your sound plays first.
