Kliq
Mechanical keyboard sounds for every keystroke and click. A tiny menu bar app for your Mac that goes quiet on its own when you're on a call.
Free and open source · macOS 15 or later · Apple silicon and Intel
Synthesized in your browser with the same recipe the app uses. The app plays them for every key, in every app.
Sounds like a real board
Separate press and release sounds, a little pitch variation per key, and stereo panning from left to right across the keyboard.
Quiet during calls
Sleeps automatically while another app uses your microphone or camera, and optionally while Music or Spotify is playing.
Tune it to taste
Pick Thock, Clack or Linear, then shape the pitch and brightness and choose which speakers or headphones play it.
Out of your way
Lives in the menu bar. Toggle it with ⌃⌥K, launch it at login, and add mouse clicks or a typewriter ding on Return.
It listens, it doesn't record. Kliq needs the Accessibility permission to notice key presses in other apps. It never stores or changes what you type and makes no network requests. Read every line on GitHub.
