Description
Meet Tappy, a little keycap who lives on your Mac's desktop. Tappy sweats when you type fast, gets dizzy when you slap your MacBook, eats when the charger goes in and naps when you're away. Coding with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor? Tappy chimes when your agent is done and sweats until you knock twice on your MacBook to answer. Plus 20 keyboard sounds, a lift alarm for café tables and Clean Mode for wiping the keys. Pay once, no subscription.
