What is FeelMyMac?
FeelMyMac is a native macOS utility that adds customizable haptic pulses and optional sound to familiar trackpad interactions such as cursor movement, scrolling, tapping, clicking, and typing. It uses a material-based mental model—Felt, Bouclé, Pebbled, Fine grit, Soft grid, and Line grid—to let users 'feel' different tracksurfaces without changing the glass trackpad. The product is distributed through a free offline demo and a one-time $3.99 full license, with a creator offer that grants the license for free if a user posts a video reaching 4,000 views. Revenue and growth are not publicly disclosed. The site emphasizes privacy, local processing, and no account requirements. It appears to be an indie side project from 'The High Jack' rather than a venture-scale or subscription business.
