Hey Product Hunt!

After having fun with SlapMac last week, I wanted to take the idea further — so I built MacYaps, a menu bar app that makes your Mac talk back with funny sounds (or serious if you wish) for real events like low battery, WiFi drops, charger changes, high CPU, and USB connections (more triggers to come).

Multiple voice packs + full custom sound support included.

Short demo found here: https://macyaps.com/demo.

This is my first Product Hunt launch — would genuinely appreciate any feedback. Or let me know if you'd like any other triggers in the app.

Discount Code: `PHLAUNCH` to get it for $4.49 (limited to 50 activations)

Love it keep on the good work are you concidering one for windows or Android tablets?

idea: you could check the item's charge cycle count and use that to find optimal charging patterns

Instant purchase (bought before I saw the PH coupon code). Fantastic idea really well executed. I love the sound packs included, but a question about the "Cheeky Irish Man" pack - it's not very Irish, in fact it definitely sounds more like an English accent.

The voice packs sound like the main attraction .Savage New Yorker reacting to to low battery is something I didn’t know I needed 😂

Do you plan to add context-aware responses, like different tones depending on urgency?
