PokeMac turns slaps, lid flips, and USB plugs into sounds — with your own audio or a built-in library. A tiny, playful menu-bar app for Apple Silicon.
Five things, done well. No bloat, no account, nothing leaves your Mac.
The built-in accelerometer feels a tap or slap on the chassis and plays a sound — louder the harder you hit.
Open or close the lid and PokeMac reacts with a sound of your choice.
Plug in or yank out a USB device and it moans (or whatever you assign).
Drop in your own MP3, WAV, or M4A clips and assign them to any event.
Pick a different sound per event, tune sensitivity, cooldown, and volume.
Everything runs on-device. No telemetry, no network, no data collection. Ever.
Buy, download, unlock. Under two minutes.
Checkout takes a minute. You get a license key and a download link by email instantly.
Open the DMG, drag PokeMac to Applications, and grant Input Monitoring so it can feel your slaps.
Paste your license key once. A 👋 lives in your menu bar — go ahead, slap away.
No subscription. Buy it once, own it, get every update.
The honest answers.
Apple Silicon MacBooks (M1 or newer) on macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Slap detection uses the built-in motion sensor, which desktop Macs and Intel laptops don't have.
That permission lets PokeMac read the built-in accelerometer to feel slaps. It's the only permission it asks for — no camera, mic, or network access.
PokeMac is an independent app distributed outside the App Store. On first launch, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the Security section, and click Open Anyway. You only do this once.
No. Everything runs locally. There's no telemetry, no analytics, and no network calls except checking your license and looking for updates.
PokeMac checks for updates automatically and installs them in place — you never need to re-buy or re-download manually.
No problem — recover it here. Enter the email you purchased with and we'll send you a link to your key and download.
Yes — if it doesn't work for you, reply to your receipt within 14 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
