A small app about a small pleasure

A click used to be an event. You pressed, something moved, it made a noise, and you knew it had happened. Then hardware got silent, and a whole channel of feedback quietly disappeared. Watch any screen recording with the sound off and you will see the problem: a pointer wanders about and things change for no visible reason.

qliqr puts the feedback back. A sound for your ears, a ripple for your eyes, and a recorder that keeps both in the video.

How it is made

• Every sound is synthesised. There are no samples. Each click is described by a small recipe of noise bursts, tones and resonances, and rendered by our own engine. The same recipes power the demos on this site and the app itself.
• It is a native Mac app. SwiftUI and AppKit, a tiny footprint, nothing running when you are not clicking.
• It is private by construction. No account, no usage analytics, and it never listens to your keyboard. See the privacy policy.
• It is sold once. No subscription. Pay, get a key, done.

Meet Qip

The orange character is Qip, a cursor who grew feet. Qip can live on your desktop, bounce when you click, doze off when you stop, and wear a little REC badge while you record. Qip can also be switched off, and does not take it personally.
