- Worth noticing
- Some features depend on hardware sensors; the page names MacBook Pro M1 Pro-or-later and MacBook Air M2-or-later models.
Field notes
The page says the sound demo uses the app’s own samples, while the desktop app responds to typing pressure through a MacBook motion sensor. Sensor-dependent features are limited to MacBook Pro with M1 Pro or later and MacBook Air with M2 or later; lid sounds additionally need a lid-angle sensor. Tappy tracks typing speed and XP, with hats tied to levels and a daily streak.
