tapcut
The analogue shortcut
Tap the palm rest of your MacBook. Something happens. Using the built-in accelerometer, tapcut turns 2, 3, or 4 taps into any action — open Claude, run a macOS Shortcut, launch an app. A gesture replaces the hotkey you keep forgetting. macOS 14+ on Apple silicon. 3-day free trial.

Who hunted tapcut?
tapcut was hunted by Mario Esteban Quiroz Castillo. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

Hi Product Hunt!
I'm Mario, the maker. Built tapcut solo.
It started when I found out Apple Silicon Macs have a built-in accelerometer that basically nothing uses. Felt like a waste of perfectly good hardware. I wanted to build something with it, something I'd actually use myself.
A few days later, you can map 2, 3, or 4 taps on the palm rest to any action — AI prompts, macOS Shortcuts, screenshots, app launches, text snippets, and a "Breathe" overlay.
3-day free trial. macOS 14+ on Apple silicon (the sensor doesn't exist on Intel).
Would love feedback on the gesture feel and what actions you'd want next.
