A mechanical keyboard simulator for every app on your Mac.

Thoccy plays real recordings of mechanical switches each time you press a key on your MacBook or Magic Keyboard. Pick a switch from the menu bar, then type anywhere. The desktop above is a live demo: type in Notes to run a keyboard sound test.

  • Works in every app

    Docs, chat, code, email. If you can type in it, you can hear it.

  • Real switch recordings

    Every key has its own press and release sound, so typing feels alive, not looped.

  • Lives in your menu bar

    Change switch, volume, or turn it off in one click. No window in your way.

Questions

Does Thoccy work in every app?

Yes. Once you allow Input Monitoring in System Settings, Thoccy plays a switch sound for every key you press, in any app: Notes, Slack, your code editor, your browser.

Can people around me hear it?

Thoccy plays through your Mac's speakers or headphones. With headphones on, only you hear it, so it works in an office or a café.

Does Thoccy save what I type?

No. Thoccy listens for key presses so it can play a sound. It keeps simple typing stats, like how many keys you pressed, on your Mac only. You can turn stats off in Settings.

Which Macs does it run on?

Any Mac on macOS 14.6 Sonoma or later. Thoccy lives in your menu bar.

How much does it cost?

$9, once. No subscription. If it's not for you, email hello@thoccy.com within 30 days for a full refund.

Can I get it cheaper?

Yes. Post a Reel or TikTok about Thoccy. At 2,000 views you get 50% back, and at 20,000 views you get all of it back. See the full rules.
