Kachunk
Typewriter & mechanical keyboard sounds for your Mac
Kachunk is a tiny menu bar app that makes every keystroke sound like a real typewriter or mechanical keyboard. 26 packs recorded from real machines — margin bell included. Free to download, $4.99 once for everything. No subscription. Try the sounds in your browser before downloading.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I missed the sound of typing. Modern laptop keyboards are silent, and it turns out the clack-clack-ding was doing more for my focus than I realized.
So we built Kachunk: a tiny macOS menu bar app that plays real recorded sounds for every key you press. Not synthesized clicks — we recorded two actual typewriters and 24 mechanical keyboard switches, and every strike gets slight pitch and volume variation so it never sounds like a loop. Typewriter packs even have the margin bell and the carriage-return slide.
A few things we cared about:
🔊 Try before you install — the sounds run right in your browser at getkachunk.com
🧘 Stays out of the way — one menu bar icon: pack, volume, mute. That's it.
🔒 Collects nothing — no analytics, no telemetry, no account
💸 No subscription — free to download with free packs; $4.99 once unlocks all 26 packs forever
It works on macOS 13+ and updates itself via Sparkle.
I'd love to hear which pack you end up living in — and if there's a switch or typewriter you want us to record next, tell me and we'll hunt one down. I'll be here all day! ⌨️🔔
