Sounds
- 20 sounds on two shelves: ten for keyboards, ten for fun. Pin up to six to the menu bar panel.
- Most sounds are recorded. 8-bit and Laser are made in code.
- Harder key presses sound louder, when the MacBook has a motion sensor.
- Slaps, the lid creak, and charger and USB chimes.
- Song Mode: with Piano, Kalimba or 8-bit, each key plays the next note of a tune.
Tappy on your desktop
- Tappy reacts to what you do. It sweats when you type fast, gets dizzy when slapped, eats when the charger goes in, and sleeps when you are away.
- Tappy levels up with your taps, unlocks six hats, keeps a daily streak and makes a weekly card to share.
Tools
- Knock commands: knock twice to play or pause, or to mute your microphone in a call.
- Clean Mode holds the keyboard and trackpad, so you can wipe them.
- A shortcut cheat sheet: hold ⌘ to see the shortcuts in the app you are using.
- Guard Mode sounds an alarm if your MacBook is lifted or its charger is pulled.
- Break buddy with stretch reminders, a nudge to type softer, and live typing speed.
License and privacy
- TapNoise is a one-time purchase with no trial: US$7.99 once, plus tax, on up to two Macs. Enter the key in Settings › License.
- Refunds are available within 14 days of buying.
- TapNoise sees which key position went down, never the characters you type. Input Monitoring is the one permission it needs.
- The first launch needs one approval, with Open Anyway in Privacy & Security.
