The project quickly went viral and reportedly earned $5,000 in just five days. 5 May 2026 [https://playdevhub.com/author/playdevhub/](https://playdevhub.com/author/playdevhub/) by [Minarin](https://playdevhub.com/author/playdevhub/) ## Enthusiast Launches SlapMac App That Makes MacBooks “Moan” from Slaps, Claims $5,000 in Five Days A tech enthusiast has turned a quirky open-source [GitHub project](https://github.com/taigrr/spank/) into a paid macOS application that plays explicit and humorous sound effects when users slap their MacBook. The app, called SlapMac, quickly gained viral attention on social media, leading its creator to report earnings of $5,000 within five days of launch. The developer, known online as Tonyino Catapano (or Тонино Катапано), built the user-friendly wrapper around an existing project and added new audio features, including moans triggered by cable connection. The story highlights the rapid monetization potential of niche macOS customizations. ## Origin of the Concept: Open-Source Span Project The core idea did not originate with Catapano. In early March 2026, a GitHub user with the handle taigrr released the open-source project called **Span**. It uses the built-in motion sensor available in MacBook models with M1 Pro, M2, and newer processors to detect slaps on the laptop body and play corresponding sound effects. Only compatible MacBooks equipped with these advanced sensors can run the motion detection feature. The project remained a command-line tool until Catapano spotted its potential for a broader audience. ## From Instagram Demo to Paid App On March 16, 2026, Catapano posted an Instagram video demonstrating the Span repository. He received numerous requests from users who lacked the technical skills to compile and run the code themselves. In response, he created a polished graphical “wrapper” application named **SlapMac** and launched a [dedicated website](https://slapmac.com/) offering free downloads initially. As videos of “moaning” MacBooks spread across social platforms, Catapano introduced paid tiers. The download price rose from $3 to $5 and currently stands at $7. According to his statements, the app generated [approximately $5,000 in just five days.](https://www.reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/1s41iv8/i_made_an_app_that_moans_when_you_slap_your/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) Screenshot of Catapano from the social network X. Source: @tonnozfpv## Expanded Audio Library and New Features SlapMac now includes eight distinct sound categories: - Sexual / moaning sounds - Farting effects - Bleating / goat sounds - Impact / slap sounds The developer also integrated another GitHub project to add creaking sounds when opening the laptop lid. In the latest update, he implemented audio playback when a charging cable is connected — a feature that has drawn additional attention in viral clips. Catapano has indicated plans to add support for user-uploaded custom audio files in future versions. > Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? > > It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Older Intel-based MacBooks and base M1 models without the advanced sensor cannot utilize the core slap-to-sound functionality, though some other audio features may still apply. ### Related posts: 1.
