Ever wanted to slap your MacBook and have it scream back? SlapDash is a tiny Mac menu bar app that detects when you slap your laptop (via the built-in accelerometer) and plays a random scream. That's the whole app. Built for the moments when Slack pings won't stop, your code won't compile, or you just need to be heard. Adjustable sensitivity, custom cooldowns, bring your own sound packs. macOS 14.6+, M1 Pro or later. Free forever. Source code available if you want to peek under the hood.

Hey Product Hunt! Chetan here 👋 I built SlapDash on a weekend after a 3-hour debugging session left me staring at my MacBook wanting to scream at it. So I thought… what if it could scream back? SlapDash is a tiny menu bar app that listens for slaps via your MacBook's built-in accelerometer. Slap your laptop, it screams. That's the entire app. No accounts, no analytics, no data leaves your Mac — it just screams when you hit it. A few things to know: 🖐️ Adjustable sensitivity so it doesn't trigger from regular typing 🔊 Random sound packs (and you can drop in your own MP3s) ⏱️ Custom cooldown so it doesn't go off back-to-back 💻 macOS 14.6+ on M1 Pro or later (needs the accelerometer) 💸 Free forever — but if you want to peek at the source code, it's on Gumroad This is my first time launching on Product Hunt as an indie maker (I usually teach AI courses to 390K+ students on Udemy). Would love your honest feedback — silly use cases, sound pack ideas, bugs, anything. Ask me anything! P.S. No, there's no Windows version. Windows users deserve their own suffering. 😄
