Use cases / Macros & hotkeys
Macros & hotkeys.
Bind every gesture to a keystroke, shortcut chain or macro. Build a custom command surface around your wrist.
The power-user workflow. Tap can fire any keystroke or chord your operating system understands — which means anything you can do with a keyboard shortcut, you can do with a Tap gesture.
What it unlocks
- Custom shortcut sets per app. Switch contexts as you switch apps. Different gestures for your DAW vs. your editor.
- Multi-step macros. Open this app, navigate to this menu, fire this command — all on one gesture.
- AI prompt triggers. Bind a pinch to a Raycast / Alfred / shell command that fires a prompt to your LLM of choice.
- Streamer / live use. Scene switches, mute, hotkeys for OBS, Stream Deck-style triggers.
Building your maps
The TapMapper app lets you build, save and share custom layouts. Layouts can be exported as JSON for fleet deployments.
For programmatic mapping at scale, see the developer SDKs — Python, C/C++, iOS, Android, Windows, Unity.
