Slap Detection

The accelerometer feels every tap, slap, and smack. Volume scales with force — soft tap is a whisper, full slap is chaos.

  • Force-proportional volume
  • Adjustable sensitivity
  • Cooldown timer

Lid Sounds

The lid angle sensor tracks every degree. Open, close, wiggle — each movement triggers a different sound.

  • Direction-aware engines

  • Wake-from-sleep detection

FAQ

Answers, before you ask.

Will I void my MacBook warranty?+

Probably not — but we're not lawyers. SlapMyMac uses the built-in accelerometer and lid sensor, no hardware mods. That said, if you slap hard enough to crack your screen, that's on you.

Does it work on Intel Macs?+

No. SlapMyMac requires an M1+ MacBook because it reads the built-in accelerometer and lid angle sensor, which aren't available on Intel Macs.

Can I add my own sounds?+

Not yet — but it's on the roadmap. For now you get 142+ clips across 8 voice packs plus 30+ lid sounds, which is more than enough to annoy everyone around you.

Does it drain my battery?+

Barely. SlapMyMac polls the sensors at low frequency and uses less energy than most menu bar apps. When paused, it uses essentially nothing.

Will it trigger during normal typing?+

No. The detection pipeline uses multiple algorithms that vote on whether a real slap happened. Typing, closing the lid gently, or bumping your desk won't trigger it — unless you crank the sensitivity to max.

What about lid sounds? Do I need to slap for those?+

No slapping needed! Lid sounds respond purely to screen movement. Open → creak or engine start. Close → engine shutdown. Back and forth → play instruments. It's a completely separate feature.

Is there a Windows version?+

No. This is a Mac-only experience. Windows laptops don't have feelings.

Less than your coffee.
More fun than your therapist.
