tapcut
Download for macOS
Silence a podcast mid-sentence, or resume. Works with Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and anything that answers Now Playing.
Next track, previous track, instant silence when the boss walks in. The remote your MacBook never shipped with.
Slack, Claude, Terminal. Map any app on your machine to a tap pattern.
Bind Cmd-Shift-V, a region screenshot, Mission Control, or any combo your Mac already understands.
25-min Pomodoro, tea steep, meeting countdown. Your rhythm, your timer.
Pre-written snippets, fired under the desk. “on my way,” “be right there,” or whatever you need.
Any Apple silicon MacBook on macOS 14 or later. Desktop Macs don't have the accelerometer, so they're out.
Nope. tapcut listens for a rhythm, not a bump. Typing doesn't look anything like a deliberate double-tap. If it misfires, tighten the threshold in settings.
No. Motion only. No mic, no camera, no network. Nothing leaves your machine.
$6.99 one-time, with a 7-day free trial — no credit card to start. Launch offer: 50 % off ($3.49) auto-applied at checkout with code LAUNCHED. Lifetime updates, no subscription, no tiers.
You'll get a license key by email. Paste it into the app to unlock — activates on up to 5 MacBooks.
Just Accessibility, so tapcut can fire keystrokes and trigger actions for you. That's it — no mic, no camera, no network prompt.
No new hardware. No new habits. Just the gesture you've always known.
