I built a Mac app that lets you feel links and buttons through your trackpad's haptic motor - would love your feedback!

Problem

Browsing the web is purely visual, which quietly taxes your attention every time you click.

You're constantly making small visual checks to confirm your cursor is actually on a link before you click.

Solution

Your Mac's trackpad has a haptic motor that's barely used. That 'click' you feel is actually a haptic vibration. I wanted to put that motor to work.

HapticPad triggers a subtle vibration the moment your cursor hovers over a link or button, so you feel the page's structure instead of just hunting for it visually.

Comparison

There isn't really a direct competitor. The closest things are browser extensions that change link styling (underlines, highlight colors, etc.), but those just change what you see, not what you feel.

HapticPad is the first tool using the trackpad's actual haptic motor for general browsing

Pricing

$5 lifetime, 7 day free trial. Available now on the Mac Store

It blows people's minds when you ask them to press the trackpad with just their fingernail and it doesn't click.

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Rita, joining from France 🇫🇷

My background sits somewhere between tech, data, AI and business — which basically means I love building things, questioning everything, and occasionally creating far too many projects at once. 😅

I’m currently building PetAtlas, an AI companion for pet owners.

The idea came from a simple problem: when something happens with your pet, you often end up searching Google, opening 12 tabs, finding conflicting advice… and still not knowing what to actually do next.

PetAtlas is designed to help pet owners navigate those moments — whether it’s a health concern, a travel question, a daily-life problem or an emergency.

The goal isn’t to replace vets or other professionals. It’s to help people understand:

→ What’s happening?

→ How urgent is it?

→ What should I do next?

→ Who can help me if I need support?

I’m currently building and testing the MVP, so I’ve joined this community at exactly the messy, exciting stage where feedback can genuinely change the product.

And because I’d much rather start with a conversation than a pitch:

Pet owners here — what’s the last thing you Googled about your pet? 🐾

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hi Rita. Can you tell me why I'd use your app instead of just asking ChatGPT?

Hi everyone!

My name is Matt. I recently released my side project and I think it's something you'd all find really useful in your workflow. It's an open source specification builder called Spectacular. I've been working on it for years but released it publicly when I realised how well it pairs with AI coding.

I've written a whole article about how it came about if you're interested: spec.tacul.ar/articles/welcome-to-spectacular

Give it a go
