Scroll sounds + haptics for Mac
Snick is a macOS menu-bar application designed to enhance the scrolling experience by adding synchronized audio and tactile feedback. It plays deep, liquid click sounds and triggers real trackpad haptics in lockstep with each scroll input. The app is compatible with macOS 14 and later. The application offers seven hand-tuned sound voices, each modeled on real mechanical detents rather than simple digital beeps. Users can select any voice from the menu bar. Snick also utilizes genuine Force Touch haptic feedback, sending a physical notch sensation through the trackpad with every click. The scrolling behavior is velocity aware: clicks occur at a natural spacing for slow, precise scrolling and become a smooth blur when flinging through long pages. Installation requires no installer or user account. The process involves downloading the Snick.zip archive, unzipping it, dragging Snick.app into the Applications folder, launching it, and granting Accessibility permission under System Settings. After pasting a license key, the app is activated and ready to use. The application resides in the menu bar, allowing users to tune voices and control settings from there. Typical use cases include users who find standard scrolling feedback too subtle or who prefer a more tactile, auditory confirmation of scroll steps. Snick functions entirely in the background once configured, requiring no further interaction beyond initial setup and occasional voice changes.
