Six tactile materials
Choose Felt, Bouclé, Pebbled, Fine grit, Soft grid, or Line grid to shape the tactile pattern applied to supported interactions.
FeelMyMac
FeelMyMac adds configurable haptic patterns and optional sound to compatible Mac trackpad gestures, scrolling, taps, clicks, and typing with local processing.
Haptic feedback and sound for Mac trackpads
FeelMyMac is a macOS utility that adds configurable haptic feedback and optional sound to compatible trackpad interactions. It maps selected gestures to tactile patterns based on materials such as Felt, Bouclé, Pebbled, Fine grit, Soft grid, and Line grid, while the trackpad surface itself remains physically smooth.
The app is intended for Mac users who want more sensory feedback from cursor movement, two-finger scrolling, tapping, or typing without changing their normal gestures. Feedback paths can be enabled separately, and interactions are processed locally on the Mac. Haptic and Material feedback require a locally verified compatible trackpad; click and keyboard sound have broader support on supported Intel Macs.
Features
Independent interaction controls
Enable or disable cursor movement, two-finger scrolling, and tap-to-click feedback independently, so only selected inputs are monitored.
Comfort and material tuning
Adjust response strength and comfort settings, and tune pattern spacing with the full license while viewing how the surface is sampled.
Optional audio layer
Use separate controls for material, click, and keyboard audio. Sound profiles, tone adjustment, and keyboard sound are available with the full license; keyboard feedback is audio only.
Feedback for familiar actions
The app works with familiar Mac gestures rather than adding new gestures, and it can provide a tactile cue for tap-to-click plus audio for primary and secondary clicks.
Use cases
Exploring a different trackpad feel
Enable movement feedback and choose a material to make ordinary pointer travel produce a subtle tactile pattern, while keeping scrolling and tap feedback disabled if preferred.
Adding tactile cues to scrolling
Turn on two-finger scrolling feedback and adjust its strength for a more noticeable physical rhythm while moving through long pages or documents.
Separating click and movement feedback
Use the independent tap-to-click control to add a cue to taps without changing the response assigned to cursor movement or scrolling.
Building an audio-focused setup
Keep haptics off or combine them with material, click, or keyboard audio according to the desired setup. Keyboard feedback is audio only and requires the full license.

Which Macs and trackpads are supported?
FeelMyMac requires macOS 15.1 or later. Haptic and Material feedback are currently validated on Apple-silicon Macs with a locally verified compatible trackpad. The current USB-C Magic Trackpad is listed for verification; other trackpads are checked locally. Independent click and keyboard sound can also run on supported Intel Macs.
How does the full license work?
The full license costs $3.99 USD as a one-time payment and is perpetual, with future updates included.
