What it does

Slap2Actions turns your MacBook into a physical trigger. It uses the built-in accelerometer on Apple Silicon Macs to detect impacts and USB plug-in events, then fires off configurable actions instantly. Set up Panic Mode to hide all windows with one slap. Run shell scripts, play sounds, or execute AppleScript — all triggered by a physical tap on your laptop. No extra hardware needed. Just a menu bar app that makes your Mac respond to your touch.

A macOS menu bar app that detects physical slaps and USB events on your MacBook, then instantly triggers actions like sound playback, panic mode, screenshots, lock screen, scripts, and more. Apple Silicon only.

Detect physical slaps and USB plug-in events on your MacBook, then instantly trigger actions like sound playback, panic mode, Show Desktop, screenshots, Lock Screen, app launch, Shell Script, or AppleScript. 50+ sound clips across 10 sound packs. Your open-plan office will have questions. Run actions when a USB device connects, disconnects, or both. Choose built-in sound packs or point to your own audio file. Hide windows and mute audio, then restore from the menu bar. Yes. The app simply reads raw data from your built-in accelerometer; it does not modify any system files or hardware firmware. While a firm tap is all it takes to trigger an action, Slap2Actions is not responsible for any…from slap2actions.click
