thockmac makes your Mac keyboard sound like a real mechanical one, in any app: 49 switches (23 recorded from real boards), mouse click and scroll sounds, a sound designer, Mechvibes packs and your own recordings. Keys sound from where they sit, every row has its own voice, and no press repeats. It goes quiet on calls and in password fields by itself. About 12 ms key to ear, no CPU when idle. Typing stats stay on your Mac. One-time purchase, no subscription.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I make small Mac apps at tealmac. thockmac gives your Mac keyboard the sound of a real mechanical switch, in every app. Here is everything in it:
⌨️ Sounds
• 49 switches: 26 tuned and 23 recorded from real keyboards (linear, tactile and clicky)
• Mouse click (14) and scroll (8) sounds; fast flicks tick lighter
• Keys sound from where they sit (Q from the left, P from the right), every row has its own voice, the big keys rattle, and no press ever repeats the last one
• About 12 ms from key to ear; no CPU when you're not typing
🎛 Sound designer
• Tone from deep thock to bright clack, room size, stereo width, key-up level
• A volume for each key group (quieter space bar, silent modifiers) and a typewriter bell on Return
• Record your own switch, or drop in Mechvibes and MechvibesDX packs
🤫 Smart rules
• Goes silent on calls and in password fields by itself
• Quieter or silent while music or video plays, quiet hours at night, headphones-only, per-app and per-headphone volume
• ⇧⌘K turns it off from anywhere; ⇧⌘J jumps to your next favourite switch
📊 Typing stats (counts only, never what you type)
• Keys per day and week, live words per minute, a streak that needs 50 keys, a keyboard heat map, your busiest hour and how far your fingers travelled
• A shareable card in your switch's colours; export as JSON or CSV
✨ Extras
• Keystroke overlay, click ripples and key glow for demos and recordings
• Shortcuts actions, thockmac:// links for Raycast or Alfred, and a command-line tool
🔐 Privacy
• Lives in the menu bar, no Dock icon, no account
• Only listens; it can't type, click or see your screen. Stats stay on your Mac
