A novelty macOS CLI tool that detects physical slaps on a MacBook using the Apple Silicon accelerometer (Bosch BMI286 IMU via IOKit HID) and plays audio responses. It ships as a single dependency-free Go binary with multiple audio modes and tunable sensitivity.
Use cases
- make my MacBook yell when I slap it
- play custom sounds when hitting my laptop
- detect physical taps using the Apple Silicon accelerometer
- prank tool for MacBook owners
- read accelerometer data via IOKit HID on macOS
When to choose
- you have a supported Apple Silicon MacBook (M2+ or M1 Pro) and want a fun novelty toy
- you want a single-binary, no-dependency accelerometer-based sound tool
- you want to experiment with IOKit HID sensor access in Go
When to avoid
- you need a serious motion-detection or sensor-logging application
- you are on Linux, Windows, or Intel Macs
- you cannot run the tool with sudo privileges
