Slap2Actions turns your MacBook into a physical trigger. It uses the built-in accelerometer on Apple Silicon Macs to detect impacts and USB plug-in events, then fires off configurable actions instantly. Set up Panic Mode to hide all windows with one slap. Run shell scripts, play sounds, or execute AppleScript — all triggered by a physical tap on your laptop. No extra hardware needed. Just a menu bar app that makes your Mac respond to your touch.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm the maker of Slap2Actions.
THE BACKSTORY:
I got the idea from SlapMac — a prank app that plays a sound when you slap your MacBook. It was fun, but I kept thinking: why stop at pranks? Your Mac's accelerometer can detect impacts reliably, so why not let it trigger actually useful things?
That's how Slap2Actions was born. Instead of just playing a sound, you can hide all your windows, run a shell script, execute AppleScript, or automate anything you want — all from a physical slap. And yes, the sound prank feature is still in there if that's your thing. But now your slap can do a whole lot more.
With Slap2Actions, a physical slap on your laptop can:
- Hide all windows instantly (Panic Mode)
- Play a sound
- Run any shell script or AppleScript
- Trigger on USB plug-in events too
It's a menu bar app — lightweight, always there, and configurable. Adjust how hard you need to slap, pick your action, and you're set.
