Clacky vs Keeby

Keeby is a nice keyboard sound app.

Clacky gives you keyboard sounds too, and then a lot more: mouse, trackpad and scroll sounds, a ripple on every click, a recorder, screenshots and your own Blip.

Clacky is the cozy companion for making things on your Mac. Click, scroll and keyboard sounds with a ripple on every click, a Studio that records your screen, captions and cuts, quick screenshots, and Clackyland, a little harbour town that grows while you work. 7 days free with no card, then $4.99 a month or $19.99 once.

Why Clacky wins

  • Clicks you can hear and see

    37 click sounds with their own press and release, 8 scroll styles, 29 keyboard sounds, plus double-click, long press and drag, and a ripple under the cursor on every click. Keyboard sounds never record which keys are typed.

  • A recorder that keeps your clicks

    Record the whole screen, one window or an area, with your Mac’s sound, your clicks and ripples right in the video. Pause when you need to, stop from the notch. Recordings stay on your Mac.

  • Captions and quick edits

    Captions are made on your Mac, word by word. Split, speed up, trim and crop in the clips lane, then make it 9:16 with the captions out of the way.

  • Screenshots, done right

    A screenshot editor, Scrolling Capture for whole pages, and Grab Text to copy text from anything on your screen.

  • Clackyland

    Using Clacky bakes cookies. Spend them in a little harbour town, unlock achievements, open the daily treat and visit your friends. The fun part, never in your way.

  • Simple to buy

    $4.99 a month or $19.99 once, with every feature either way. 7 days free with no card and no account, the app in 14 languages, on 2 Macs, and a real person answers your email.
