Battery dying? WiFi gone? Your Mac finally talks back.
MacYaps turns your Mac into a personality-packed companion that talks back. It automatically plays audio clips for real system events: Battery levels & charger plugged/unplugged - High CPU usage - WiFi connect/disconnect & latency spikes - USB devices plugged in/out. Every trigger is fully customizable. Choose from multiple voice packs (Cheeky Irish, Thick Australian, Savage New Yorker, Dramatic Opera, Valley Girl, and more) or add your custom sounds. Your Mac finally has personality.
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.
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)

Who hunted MacYaps?
MacYaps was hunted by Joey. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
