Lightweight, native and runs in the menu bar.
Table of Contents
## About The Project
Thock is a native macOS utility that adds sound effects to your keyboard.
I built this project for fun, aiming to create a satisfying typing experience - like a mechanical keyboard, but entirely in software. Similar apps exist, but those written in other languages often lack proper macOS support or fall short in quality and functionality. There’s also Klack, a $5 paid alternative on the App Store, but I believe an open source community can do better lol.
Key features:
* Native macOS application
* ⚡ Minimal CPU & memory usage
* 📎 Menu bar utility
* 🔊 Over 25 unique sound modes
* 🕹️ Adjustable volume slider
