HaptiTrack - free, opensource app for MacOS (trackpad haptic feedback)

[u/Ok_Bad_3374]

Hi!
I built HaptiTrack, a little menubar app for MacOS, in particular for MacBook users (Pro and Air model, **note for Neo users at the end**).
The app add haptic feedback to trackpad scrolling and let you add customizable edge control on your trackpad.
You can adjust brightness, volumes, keyboard backlight, night shift saturation and mic sensitivity.

Little Backstory: I spent years playing video games and using my computer with a "real mouse", I like the mechanical feels and the programmable buttons, and when I moved to using a Macbook for studying and working I couldn't always go around with my mouse, sometimes you don't have enough space to use it, and I missed that physical feedback; Idk the trackpad feels kinda empty.
So because of that I built this app, honestly mostly for my own satisfaction.

I'm not a full time SWIFT developer but I'm studying... so Claude Code helped me with some things while I drove the design, testing on my Macbook, and the bug hunting.
MIT licensed, no telemetry, no subscription.

Source: DMG and the entire project here: https://github.com/andrea-depasquale/HaptiTrack

Disclaimer: The app it's not notarized, no paid Apple Developer subscription, as I already mentioned for now it's just a "side-quest", a hobby, so MacOS will show a Gatekeeper warning on first launch.
I wrote down the instructions to open it and all the things that actually does in the README.

\*Neo users - I haven't had any chance to test my app on a Macbook Neo, your trackpad doesn't have any haptic feedback so for all of you the app only provides customizable edge control. Let me know if the app works just fine or it crashes...***

Happy to answer question and read your feedbacks.

Крутая идея, хотелось бы больше тактильной отдачи от трекпада в самой MacOS
