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.
Love it keep on the good work are you concidering one for windows or Android tablets?
idea: you could check the item's charge cycle count and use that to find optimal charging patterns
Instant purchase (bought before I saw the PH coupon code). Fantastic idea really well executed. I love the sound packs included, but a question about the "Cheeky Irish Man" pack - it's not very Irish, in fact it definitely sounds more like an English accent.
The voice packs sound like the main attraction .Savage New Yorker reacting to to low battery is something I didn’t know I needed 😂
Do you plan to add context-aware responses, like different tones depending on urgency?

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.
