First launch: macOS will block it once

ClapSnap is a macOS menu bar app that turns a double clap or double snap into a launcher for your entire workspace. Instead of clicking through the Dock or memorizing keyboard shortcuts, you make one gesture and ClapSnap opens the exact set of apps you use every day — Safari, VS Code, Slack, Terminal, Figma, whatever your morning routine looks like — while a cinematic full-screen overlay welcomes you by name.
It's built for people who want their Mac to feel like Tony Stark's workshop: no cloud processing, no AI service calls, no data leaving the device. ClapSnap uses AVFoundation to listen for audio locally and reacts in under a second, so the "clap to open apps" experience feels instant rather than gimmicky.
Compared to tools like Keyboard Maestro, Hazel, or Shortcuts, ClapSnap isn't trying to be a general automation platform — it does one thing extremely well: hands-free Mac workspace launching triggered by sound. Developers use it to open their daily stack in one gesture. Designers use it to jump straight into Figma and reference tabs. People who find keyboard shortcuts physically difficult use it as a genuinely accessible, hands-free way to control their Mac from across the room.
ClapSnap lives quietly in the menu bar with no Dock icon and no floating window. Configure it once — pick your apps, choose clap or snap, set a sensitivity level for your room and microphone — and it launches at login from then on, ready every time you sit down at your Mac.
ClapSnap also includes Air Mouse, a full hand-tracking cursor built with Vision and on-device machine learning. Point your index finger to move the cursor, pinch index and thumb to click or hold to drag, pinch index and ring finger to right-click, and use three fingers or your pinky to scroll — all tracked through your webcam, processed entirely on your Mac, with sensitivity and smoothing you can tune in Settings.
It runs on macOS 13 Ventura and later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and is sold as a single one-time purchase rather than a subscription — pay what you want, starting at €8, with all future updates included.
