New Free tray app for Windows 10 & 11
Clack gives any keyboard the sound of a mechanical one. Recorded switch packs, mouse clicks, spatial audio, and not a single keystroke read.

What it does
Clack sits in your tray and does one job well: every key and click on Windows gets a satisfying, tunable sound. Everything else is just ways to make it yours.
Sound packs
Cherry, ALPS, Holy Pandas, IBM, creamy boards, and old typewriters, all recorded and mapped per key, with separate down and up sounds. Drop in your own packs and they appear without a restart.
Tone pad
Push any pack toward warm thock or crisp clack from a single compact control.
Spatial
Left-hand keys sound left, right-hand keys sound right. Try it with headphones in the demo.
Mouse clicks
Left, right and middle each get an optional click, from softest to hard.
Visualizer
An optional overlay that follows your cursor, pins in place, or stays top-center.
Tray first
Mute, volume, profile and favorites live in a tray flyout. Optionally start at login.
Privacy
Clack reacts to which physical key moved, never the character it typed. No text, no clipboard, no telemetry, no account. Settings stay in your Windows app data folder.
Read the privacy detailsThe playground
Pick a voice, drag the tone pad, then type. The demo is a browser approximation built from synthesized switch layers; the app itself plays recorded packs, so it sounds even better. Headphones recommended.
The tone pad in the app works the same way: one compact control to move a pack toward warm thock or crisp clack.

Get Clack
Clack is free, runs from the tray, and takes about a minute to set up.

No. Clack listens for physical key and mouse button identifiers (which key moved, not which character it produced) so it can choose the right sound. It never sees your text, passwords, clipboard or documents, and nothing about your typing leaves your PC.
Sounds play from a background audio queue and held-key repeats are ignored, so a stuck key cannot flood playback. If you notice lag, check for Bluetooth headphones first, because their latency is the usual culprit.
Yes. Drop a pack folder into %LocalAppData%\Clack\Packs and reopen Settings. Clack reads its own manifest format, Mechvibes-style config packs, and Klack-style folders of paired down and up recordings.
Clack is free. There is no account, no trial clock and no upsell.
Not today. Clack is built for Windows 10 and 11 and lives in the system tray.
If you installed with Scoop, run scoop update clacky. If you downloaded the ZIP, grab the newest one from the releases page and replace the folder.
