Kutuk is an open-source macOS app that adds mechanical keyboard sounds to your typing experience. It lives in the menu bar, plays Cherry MX Brown (tactile) and Cherry MX Blue (clicky) sounds as you type, and keeps every key event on-device for privacy. Key features include:
- Menu bar interface: No dock icon, minimal footprint.
- Two sound profiles: Cherry MX Brown (default) and Cherry MX Blue (switchable via menu).
- Listen-only input monitoring: Captures keystroke rhythm without recording content.
- Local audio playback: All sounds are stored locally, no network requests.
- Hotkey toggle: Press ⌥⌘K to mute/unmute instantly.
- Universal binary: Supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
- Login item: Automatically starts on boot.
- Tiny size: Only 2.5 MB.
Ideal for developers and writers who miss the tactile feedback of mechanical keyboards while using a MacBook or Apple keyboard.
