Mac menu bar app
Your trackpad should make a sound.
TalkPad plays a sound every time you click or scroll — in every app, all day. Pick a meme, pick something tasteful, or load your own. Try it on the trackpad below, with the actual sounds from the app.
Try it — click the trackpad, then scroll on it

What you get
One app, five presets, every sound you feel like.
Works everywhere
Clicks and scrolls make sound in every app on your Mac, not just in TalkPad. It runs from the menu bar with no Dock icon in the way.
Two presets ready to go
Meme for the fun of it, Professional for a click you can leave on all day. Switching takes one click from the menu bar.
Three slots for your own
Drop in WAV, AIFF, CAF, MP3 or M4A and pair any click sound with any scroll sound. Your files are copied in, so moving the originals never breaks a preset.
No permissions to grant
No Accessibility access, no microphone, no account. TalkPad listens for clicks and scrolls and plays audio — that’s the whole app.
The two built-in presets
Hear all four sounds.
Meme
Loud, silly, and impossible to ignore. The scroll is a scratch that runs for as long as your fingers do.
Professional
A short, centred click and an even scroll bed. Quiet enough to keep on during a work day, satisfying enough that you will.
What you're actually buying
A menu bar app that gives your trackpad a voice.
No window to keep open, no Dock icon, nothing to configure before it works. Install it, and the next click you make has a sound.

Questions
Before you buy.
Does it slow my Mac down?
No. TalkPad watches for clicks and scrolls and plays a short sound. It sits in the menu bar doing nothing at all until you touch the trackpad.
Does it work with a mouse too?
Yes. Any click and any scroll wheel triggers it, trackpad or not.
Can I turn it off quickly?
One switch in the menu bar. There’s a volume slider next to it, and TalkPad can start with your Mac if you want it to.
What are the scroll sounds doing?
They loop while you’re scrolling and fade out when you stop, so the sound tracks the gesture instead of firing hundreds of times a second.
Is it a subscription?
No. $7 once, updates included.
How does the video refund work?
You buy it normally, post your video, and email us the link once it passes a tier. We refund through Polar, our payment provider, so the money goes back to the card or account you paid with.
Who am I actually paying?
Polar Software, Inc. is our reseller and merchant of record. “Polar” is what appears on your statement, and your receipt and download link come from them.
