JoyTap

I thought this was very silly when I first saw it, but figured I’d give it a shot. As someone that usually hates the sound of keyboard keys, I have to say this app is very fun and it does bring me joy. Would be fun to have mouse clicks for trackpad users as well.

I’ve been looking for this for years, and I wish Apple built it into the OS. Sadly, this is another app that is too obtrusive or awkward for what it does. 1. ALL the many sounds emulate old mechanical keyboards. I don’t care about “sounds from my youth;” I just want auditory feedback. 2. It has now stuck a small but permanent window into my screen. It says “open settings to close this tip,” but WHAT settings? From Setapp? From this app? (The window does not mention the name of the app, so it took several minutes to figure that out!) Nothing I have tried gets rid of the window. SETAPP Background apps should be UNOBTRUSIVE. This one isn’t.

On macOS Sonoma, no sound comes out except the return key. Gave all the permissions, rebooted the mac, quit and relaunched the app, signed out and back in Setapp, no dice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
