Questions

If your question is not here, email saifsiddiqui2409@gmail.com and it probably should be.

The basics

Does it work in every app?

Yes. Clickk listens at the system level, so it sounds the same whether you are in a terminal, a browser, Figma, or Mail. There is no per app setup.

Which Macs does it run on?

Any Mac on macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. It is a native universal build, not a web app in a wrapper.

Where does it live once installed?

In the menu bar only. There is no dock icon and no window sitting in your way. Clicking the menu bar icon changes kit, volume, and everything else in one place.

Does it hear external keyboards?

Yes, any keyboard your Mac sees, including external mechanical boards. Which is admittedly a funny thing to do, but nobody will stop you.

Privacy and permissions

Why does it need Input Monitoring?

Input Monitoring is the macOS permission for knowing that a key was pressed. It is deliberately not Accessibility, which exists so assistive software can control your Mac and is far broader than this app needs. Clickk learns that a key moved, plays a sample, and discards it. Nothing is written to disk and nothing leaves your Mac.

Does it record or send what I type?

No. There is no logging, no file of keystrokes, no network code for telemetry, and no analytics SDK of any kind. The app works exactly the same with the network turned off.

How can I check that for myself?

Turn off Wi-Fi and use it, or watch it in Little Snitch or LuLu. You will see exactly one kind of connection: a check for a new version, to clickk.ziyarex.com. Nothing else leaves your Mac, and nothing about your typing is ever part of it. You can switch that check off in Settings and update by hand instead.

Sound

Will it drain my battery or slow things down?

No. Samples are decoded once into memory and played through the system audio engine, so a keystroke costs almost nothing. Between keystrokes the app does no work at all.

Will people on my calls hear it?

Not if you leave Sleep switched on. Clickk mutes itself the moment another app takes your microphone or camera, and comes back when the call ends.

Can I keep it on my speakers while music goes to headphones?

Yes. You can pin Clickk to a specific output device, so it stays wherever you want regardless of where the rest of your audio goes.

Can I use my own sounds?

In two ways. Sound Studio builds a switch from scratch by shaping the click, the body, and the tail, and you can import a folder of your own recordings as a kit.

Why do the same keys sound slightly different each time?

On purpose. Each kit holds several takes per key and Clickk drifts the pitch a little on every press, so holding a key down does not turn into a machine gun. It is called Humanize and you can turn it off.

Buying and support

Is it a subscription?

No. It is $2.99 once, including every future update. One licence covers every Mac you own.

Is there a free trial?

No, and that is deliberate rather than mean: you can hear every kit on this page, on your own machine, before paying anything. A clock running out on day two tells you less than thirty seconds with the demo does. If it still is not for you, Gumroad refunds for thirty days, no reasons needed.

How do I use my licence key?

Open Clickk, then Settings, About, Licence. Paste the key from your Gumroad receipt and press Activate. It works on every Mac you sign into with the same Apple account, so you only ever enter it once per machine and never run out of activations.

Something is broken, or a key makes no sound.

Email saifsiddiqui2409@gmail.com or iMessage +917318114969 and say which Mac and which macOS version you are on. If a specific key is silent it is almost always the Input Monitoring permission needing to be switched off and on again after an update.

How do I remove it?

Drag Clickk from your Applications folder to the Trash, then remove it from System Settings, Privacy and Security, Input Monitoring. Your preferences live in a single plist that goes with it.

Still curious?

The demo on the home page is the real thing. Every kit on it ships with the app.
