Background app · macOS & Windows
Actuate listens for every keypress on your machine and answers with a real mechanical click — recorded from actual switches, not synthesized. Works in any app, even while it's not focused.
Cherry MX Brown · 45g · 2.0mm actuation
A system-level listener reads raw keydown/keyup events from every app — never the characters you type.
Matches the key to a category, rotates through takes, and nudges pitch and gain slightly so no two clicks are identical.
A one-shot voice plays instantly — pre-decoded samples, no disk reads on the hot path.
Actuate only sees that a key went down and when — never which characters they spell out, and secure fields (password boxes) are invisible to it by OS design. It's a personal, unsigned build: no analytics, no network calls, nothing leaves your machine.
