Tap the chassis to mute, lock the screen, or trigger a cheer. No keyboard shortcuts to memorize. Just tap.
Every Apple Silicon MacBook has a built-in accelerometer sitting idle. MacBon wakes it up and puts it to work.
Bind any action to 1, 2, or 3 taps. Mute with a pat. Lock your screen as you walk away. No mouse. No clicks. Just tap.
800Hz sampling with smart filtering. Pound that keyboard all you want — MacBon knows the difference.
Zero internet. Zero tracking. Zero microphone. Just a hardware sensor and some clever math. That's it.
English, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, German, French. Auto-detects from your system.
Screen off? Lid closed? Screensaver on? MacBon goes silent. No phantom taps at 3am.
Drop any MP3 into ~/MacBon/Sounds/ and tap to play it. A friend's laugh, a motivational quote, a duck quack. You do you.
A quick pat on the side. Like saying "hey buddy." Default action: Mute — silence everything with one tap.
Two quick taps. The universal "I need this NOW" signal. Default: Lock Screen — walk away from your desk without touching the keyboard.
Three taps. Your wildcard. Default: Custom Audio — set it to play your hype song, your partner's voice, or that one sound effect that makes you smile.
Free. No account. No internet needed. Just you and your MacBook.
Seriously. We timed it.
Unzip. Drag MacBon.app into Applications. That's the hard part. Done.
First time? Right-click → Open. macOS will ask if you trust us. (You can.) Click Open.
MacBon lives in your menu bar. Tap your MacBook's body and watch the magic happen. Customize in settings.
Make sure you're on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4). Grant accessibility permissions if asked. Try bumping up sensitivity in settings.

macOS 13+ on any Apple Silicon MacBook. Desktop Macs don't have the sensor — sorry, Mac Mini.
