Download & install
Download ClapSnap.dmg, open it, drag to Applications. Grant microphone access when macOS asks.
Built in Swift, runs natively. AVFoundation audio detection — no CoreML dependency, no cloud calls, no battery drain.
ClapSnap listens for a deliberate double clap or double snap using your Mac's built-in or external microphone. No cloud, no AI service — all processing runs locally using AVFoundation.
No Dock icon. No floating window. Just a quiet icon that lights up when it's listening.
A fullscreen animation — pulsing cyan bolt, your welcome name, "Your systems are ready." Stark-style, every time.
Pick any apps to open. ClapSnap launches them in sequence every time you trigger.
Double clap for power moments, double snap for stealth mode. Switch anytime from settings.
Set your welcome name (defaults to "Boss"), add a custom GIF overlay, pick a welcome sound, adjust display duration, and choose your trigger sensitivity. Set it once — every clap after that is yours.
Enable once in Settings and ClapSnap is always ready, from the moment you sit down.
Low for noisy offices, Medium for most rooms, High for quiet spaces. Tune it to your mic and environment.
ClapSnap lets you map a double clap or double snap to any set of apps. All apps launch together when triggered.
Instead of hunting through the Dock or hitting ⌘-space multiple times, your entire setup appears at once.
Custom name, custom GIF, custom sound. ClapSnap isn't just a launcher — it's a ritual.
An input method that works when reaching for the keyboard hurts or isn't practical.

"I open VS Code, Safari, and Terminal every morning. Now I just clap twice and they're all there. The overlay is actually sick."
"The snap trigger is my secret weapon in open-plan offices. Nobody knows why my apps just appear."
"Set it to launch at login, enabled High sensitivity for my studio mic. It triggers instantly — I feel like Tony Stark every morning."
