Klakk

Why does this keyboard sound simulator need Accessibility permission?

Klakk needs Accessibility permission to monitor keyboard events system-wide so it can play mechanical keyboard sounds in any app you use - from coding in VS Code to writing in Notion. This is required by macOS for global keyboard monitoring. Klakk only monitors key presses for sound playback and doesn't collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

How do I grant Accessibility permission to Klakk?

To grant Accessibility permission: 1) Open System Settings (or System Preferences on older macOS), 2) Navigate to Privacy & Security → Accessibility, 3) Click the lock icon to make changes (enter your password), 4) Find Klakk in the list and toggle the switch to ON, 5) Restart Klakk if it was already running. If you don't see Klakk in the list, click the '+' button to manually add it. Navigate to Applications folder, select Klakk, and click Open. Then toggle the switch to ON.
