What you get
Give your quiet Mac keyboard the sound of mechanical switches.
You can hear mechanical switch sounds as you type without replacing your keyboard. JoyTap adds audio feedback across macOS, so you get the same typing sounds whether you’re writing an email, drafting an article, or working in a code editor. You can choose from more than 10 profiles based on real switches, with sounds ranging from deeper thocks to sharper clicks.
You can change the sound to suit your preferences and adjust its volume independently. Keep it low when you want subtle feedback, turn it up when working alone, or switch it off when you need quiet. The controls stay in your menu bar, so you can change profiles or mute the sounds without leaving your current app.
