A sound that follows your hand
What if your laptop creaked like an old door?
Creakbook doesn’t just play a recording: the creak is synthesized live from the angle and speed of your screen.
Snap it shut
A sharp crack. A guaranteed hit at the coffee machine.
Never the same sound twice
The sound follows every move of the screen, in real time. Every opening has its own voice.
Several moods
Haunted mansion, vintage sci-fi… or your own sounds
Wooden door
The classic, straight out of a haunted mansion. A creak when you open, a crack when you close.
Theremin
Your screen becomes an instrument straight out of a vintage sci-fi movie: the pitch follows the screen angle.
Your own sounds
Add your own audio files and Creakbook plays one at random each time the screen moves.
Your files stay on your device.
In the background too
It keeps creaking while you work
Turn on “Creak in the background” and minimize the window: your screen keeps creaking. A notification lets you stop it with one click.
- Perfect for surprising your colleagues in meetings
- Stop it instantly from the notification
- Optional suggestion to resume when your device starts
Built for real life
It creaks when you want it to, and only then
Three sensitivity levels
From a gentle shiver to full drama, depending on how you move.
Only the screen counts
Moving or tilting your laptop doesn’t trigger any sound: only the screen’s motion counts.
Adjustable volume
From a discreet whisper to a creak that makes the whole office jump.
Material You colors
The interface matches your wallpaper, in light and dark mode.
No ads, no account, no data collected
Creakbook doesn’t even have internet access. Everything happens on your device.
Born on Googlebook
Designed, built and tested on Googlebook
Creakbook was created for Googlebooks, the new Android laptops. It uses their hinge sensor and accelerometers to know the position of the screen down to the degree.
Phones and tablets have no hinge: Creakbook is for laptops only.
- Googlebook · the reference platformCreakbook is designed and tested on Googlebook. The hinge sensor tracks every move of the screen, in real time.
- Other Android laptopsSupported as long as they have a screen angle sensor, or accelerometers in both the screen and the keyboard.
- ChromebooksAlso works on models with a screen angle sensor. Many classic Chromebooks don’t have one, in which case the app can’t detect the screen moving.
Nothing leaves your laptop
Sensor readings are only used to generate sound, instantly: they are neither stored nor transmitted. No internet, no account, no ads, no analytics.
FAQ
Everything to know before you creak
Is Creakbook free?
Yes. The app is free, with no ads and no account to create.
Is my laptop compatible?
Creakbook is designed for Googlebooks and also works on other Android laptops and on Chromebooks with a screen angle sensor. Without that sensor, the app can’t tell that the screen is moving.
Will it creak when I carry my laptop around?
No. Moving or tilting your laptop doesn’t trigger any sound: only the motion of the screen relative to the keyboard counts.
Can I easily stop background mode?
Yes. While “Creak in the background” is on, a notification stays visible: one click stops everything.
What data is collected?
None. Creakbook has no internet access; your settings and custom sounds stay on your device. See the privacy policy for details.
