yo Product Hunt 👋

so I got tired of reaching for my keyboard every time I wanted to pause music… so now I just knock on my Mac. literally. 🤜💻

here's the vibe:

knock knock → music pauses. knock ×3 → Mission Control. knock the lid → screen locks. no keys, no clicks, just knuckles 🫡
any knock can do anything: open apps, sites, Shortcuts, AppleScript, screenshot straight to your clipboard
teach it spots on your Mac (palm rest, lid, side) and each one does something different. lowkey feels like magic ✨
works mid-movie and ignores doors, claps and footsteps. "Teach My Knock" + a "That wasn't me" button = it keeps getting smarter 🧠
Laptop Guard 🚨 stepping away at a café? arm it. if someone touches your trackpad, unplugs the charger or closes the lid → instant photo, full-volume siren, alert on your phone. Touch ID to disarm. no cap, it's LOUD

privacy check ✅ sound gets analysed on your Mac in real time and is never recorded or sent anywhere.

heads up: it's free and not on the App Store, so the first time macOS asks you to confirm (right-click → Open, or System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway). one-time thing, promise 🤝

now tell me: what would YOU make your Mac do with a knock? 👇
