Mechanical keyboard sounds for Mac
CupertinoClicks brings mechanical keyboard sounds for Mac to every app you use. It is a lightweight menu bar utility for macOS 13+ that plays short, realistic switch samples while you type - no bulky keyboard software, no account, and no cloud sync required.
Whether you miss the feel of a physical board on a laptop keyboard or want satisfying audio feedback during long writing sessions, CupertinoClicks adds tactile sound without changing how you work.
Real mechanical switch sounds, not stock clicks
Every preset is built from real switch recordings - Cherry MX, Holy Panda, Topre, Novelkeys, Box Navies, and more. These are not generic click effects layered on top of your typing. Each key has a distinct downstroke and upstroke, and Sound Variations adds subtle randomness so keystrokes never sound robotic.
Choose from 18 keyboard switch presets and hear the difference between creamy linears, sharp tactiles, and clicky boards - all from the menu bar.
Tune thock and clack with the Tone Pad
The Tone Pad lets you drag between thock and clack before you lock in a switch preset. Dial in the character you want - deeper and muted, or brighter and sharper - then keep typing with your preferred balance.
It is a quick way to explore mechanical keyboard sounds for Mac without swapping hardware.
Mouse sounds included
Left and right clicks get their own presets - four mouse click sounds in total, recorded with the same care as the keyboard switches. Toggle mouse sounds independently from keyboard audio in the menu bar.
Works system-wide on your Mac
CupertinoClicks runs across Safari, Slack, Xcode, Notes, and anywhere else you type on your Mac. Toggle sounds, swap presets, adjust volume, and switch profiles from the menu bar without leaving your workflow.
Save a quiet work profile and a louder weekend setup, then jump between them in one click. Focus Mode can auto-mute the app in apps like Zoom or games when you need silence.
Privacy-first by design
The app maps key codes to local audio cues - it does not log or transmit what you type. No account, no cloud, and no data leaving your Mac. For full details on permissions and data handling, see Privacy & safety.
