## ⨠What's This Magic?
- đĩ Real-time mechanical keyboard sounds that'll make your fingers dance
- đī¸ Sound tweaks that would make an audio engineer jealous:
- Volume control (from "library whisper" to "wake the neighbors")
- Frequency adjustment (from "gentle butterfly" to "angry typewriter")
- Decay rate (from "quick tap" to "dramatic echo")
- đĒļ Lightweight menu bar app that sits quietly in the corner (until you start typing!)
- âĄī¸ Lightning-fast response time (because nobody likes delayed gratification)
- đ Privacy-focused (we don't care what you're typing, we just make it sound awesome)
## đ Getting Started
### What You'll Need
- macOS 10.15 or later (sorry Windows users, you'll have to stick to your rubber domes... for now)
- Rust toolchain (if building from source, because we're fancy like that)
### Installation
```bash
cargo install clickclack
```
## Usage
Just run:
```bash
clickclack
```
### Building from Source
1. Clone this bad boy:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/cesarferreira/clickclack.git
cd clickclack
```
2. Build it like you mean it:
```bash
cargo build --release
```
3. Find your shiny new toy at `target/release/clickclack`
Look for the keyboard icon in your menu bar - that's your new best friend!
## âī¸ Configuration
Your settings are automatically saved in `~/.config/clickclack/config.toml`. Here's an example of what it looks like:
```toml
enabled = true
volume = 0.25
switch_type = "bluealps"
```
The configuration is automatically updated when you change settings through the menu bar interface. You can also manually edit this file if you prefer.
## đŽ How to Use This Beast
1. Click the keyboard icon (it doesn't bite)
2. Choose your destiny:
- Toggle sounds on/off (for when you need to be sneaky)
- Adjust volume (from "I can hear myself think" to "MAXIMUM CLICKY")
- Pick your frequency (from "sophisticated professional" to "mad typist")
- Set the decay (from "quick and snappy" to "echoes of eternity")
3. Type away and feel like a keyboard warrior!

- Doesn't care which keys you're pressing (type 'pizza' 100 times, we won't judge)
- Doesn't send any data anywhere (what happens on your keyboard, stays on your keyboard)
