# spank Slap your MacBook, it yells back. > "this is the most amazing thing i've ever seen" — [@kenwheeler](https://x.com/kenwheeler) > "I just ran sexy mode with my wife sitting next to me...We died laughing" — [@duncanthedev](https://x.com/duncanthedev) > "peak engineering" — [@tylertaewook](https://x.com/tylertaewook) Uses the Apple Silicon accelerometer (Bosch BMI286 IMU via IOKit HID) to detect physical hits on your laptop and plays audio responses. Single binary, no dependencies. ## Requirements - macOS on Apple Silicon (M2+) - `sudo` (for IOKit HID accelerometer access) ## Install Download from the [latest release](https://github.com/taigrr/spank/releases/latest). Or build from source: ```bash go install github.com/taigrr/spank@latest ``` ## Usage ```bash # Normal mode — says "ow!" when slapped sudo spank # Sexy mode — escalating responses based on slap frequency sudo spank --sexy # Halo mode — plays Halo death sounds when slapped sudo spank --halo ``` ### Modes **Pain mode** (default): Randomly plays from 10 pain/protest audio clips when a slap is detected. **Sexy mode** (`--sexy`): Tracks slaps within a rolling 5-minute window. The more you slap, the more intense the audio response. 60 levels of escalation. **Halo mode** (`--halo`): Randomly plays from death sound effects from the Halo video game series when a slap is detected. ## How it works 1. Reads raw accelerometer data directly via IOKit HID (Apple SPU sensor) 2. Runs vibration detection (STA/LTA, CUSUM, kurtosis, peak/MAD) 3. When a significant impact is detected, plays an embedded MP3 response 4. 500ms cooldown between responses to prevent rapid-fire ## Credits Sensor reading and vibration detection ported from [olvvier/apple-silicon-accelerometer](https://github.com/olvvier/apple-silicon-accelerometer). ## License MIT
