Physically smack your MacBook. Yeah, really.
The built-in accelerometer feels the impact.
A sound plays. You laugh. You smack again.
Smack Mac is not distributed through the App Store, so macOS will ask you to confirm you trust it. Here is how to get it running.
Grab the latest release from GitHub and move
SmackMac.app
into your Applications folder.
When you first open the app, macOS will block it with a "developer cannot be verified" warning. To bypass it:
Alternatively: right-click (or Control-click) the app, choose Open, then confirm.
No. The app detects very light taps. You don't need to hit it hard. Think "firm pat," not "fist slam." Your MacBook is tougher than you think.
Apple Silicon MacBooks only (M1 and later). The app reads the built-in accelerometer, which Intel MacBooks don't have.
Nope. The app reads the accelerometer directly and doesn't need any special permissions or passwords.
Smack Mac isn't distributed through the App Store, so macOS shows a security warning. Follow the install steps above to allow it. The app is fully open source if you want to verify.
Yes. Choose from 9 built-in sounds in the settings, including slap, fart, duck, and a few others that are better experienced than named.
Negligible. The accelerometer polling uses a tiny fraction of CPU. You'll forget it's running until you smack.
Yes. Open source, free forever, no ads, no data collected. The source code is on GitHub.
