Description
Dune is a context-aware keypad for Mac that now builds around you. Create shortcuts just by talking to Claude, browse a Marketplace of community-built scripts, and assign any workflow to your three keys across the apps you use. From meetings to dev tools to everyday tasks, Dune adapts instantly so the right action is always one keypress away.

Could you build this?
No This is a physical hardware macro-keypad that requires custom mechanical engineering, PCB circuit design, firmware programming, USB/HID device communication, and a native macOS driver.
What it would actually take: Developing Dune requires electrical engineering for PCB schematic design and microcontroller selection (e.g., RP2040 or ESP32), mechanical CAD for custom enclosure and key switches, and embedded C/Rust firmware (QMK/ZMK). On the software side, it requires a native macOS companion app in Swift utilizing Accessibility APIs (`AXUIElement`) to detect active frontmost apps and window states, communicating over HID/USB serial, and interacting with Anthropic's Claude API. Bringing this to market requires hardware supply chain sourcing, FCC/CE certification, and low-level macOS OS integration.
