Visual animations on macOS feel too slow. I wanted the system to feel mechanical again.

I wrote a tool that turns system activity into sound.

Typing = Mechanical clicks

Window Resize = Friction sounds
Disk/IO Activity = Data transfer hum
Loading Activity = Loading sound

It bypasses the visual lag and gives you instant feedback.

Code is here (Swift): https://github.com/gajzzs/MacOSMiddleWareSoundProducer

It's in the initial stage feedback is greatly appreciated!

I retired from teaching 18 months ago, in part because it was becoming clear to me that the "AI" industry was undermining education in profound ways.
