Releases: kamillobinski/thock
1.13.0
What's New
Now you can make your keyboard scream whatever you want - literally.
New Features
- Custom Sound Modes
Drop your own.mp3or.wavfiles into~/Library/Application Support/Thock/CustomSounds/along with aconfig.json, and watch Thock transform.
Your keyboard can now sound like a haunted jukebox, a typewriter on fire, or whatever twisted symphony you dream up. No restart required - just switch modes and hear whatever you want.
Note: For full details and setup instructions, dive into the docs: Using Custom Sound Modes and Soundpack Converters
Custom modes live under theCustombrand in the menu bar.
1.12.5
What's New
No new features, just a middle finger to macos paranoia.
Improvements
-
Quarantine purge & ad-hoc signing
Scrubbed every trace of the quarantine nonsense and slipped in an ad-hoc signature. Now, even macos sequoia’s gatekeeper can’t pretend Thock is 'damaged'. -
Fail-fast pipeline guards
If any build dares to carry dirty quarantine marks, the pipeline will self-destruct on sight. No broken releases, no apologies, no survivors.
Note: version
1.12.5is actually clean and signed. The menu bar should now reflect this too, unless it’s having an identity crisis like the previous one. In that case, we respect its journey.
1.12.4
What's New
This release brings more cli control and a long-overdue fix for multi-word mode names. Also a small identity crisis.
New Features
- Enable/disable the app state via
thock-cli
You can now toggle Thock on or off using a newset-enabledcommand inthock-cli. Perfect for scripts, automations or Raycast extensions. View docs
Improvements
- Multi-word mode names now fully supported
Modes like *'soft regret' will now be correctly parsed and applied via cli. No more losing your thock to improper tokenization.
Note: version
1.12.4still identifies as1.12.3in the menu bar.
We respect its decision and will let it work through this on its own time.
*'soft regret' is not a mode. It’s a warning from your future self about this release.
1.12.3
What's New
This release introduces new sound and app control, subtle UI improvements and smoother event handling.
New Features
-
Pitch variation control
You can now detune each keystroke ± your chosen value directly from the menu bar. Add subtle human warmth or lean fully into the haunted typewriter aesthetic. @qalonbudker 🫡 -
Right-click to toggle the app
No need to open the menu - just right-click the menu bar icon to quickly enable or disable Thock. Minimal effort. Max control.
Improvements
- Improved input event handling
Events are now passed back immediately before playing sound, avoiding potential delays caused by waiting on the SoundEngine. This should reduce hiccups and feel even snappier under load. @zenangst 🫡
