About Keytones
Ever typed a whole sentence in caps before noticing? Keytones plays a distinct sound for each key group (uppercase, lowercase, space bar, and modifiers) so your ears catch a stray Caps Lock before your eyes do. Tune Pitch, Length, Damping + Volume per group, import your own sounds, or, if audible feedback isn't an option, turn on Visual Feedback: a glowing screen edge that pulses with every keystroke. Per-app control, Siri + Shortcuts, instant triple-tap mute. One-time purchase, no subscription.
About Islet
Most notch utilities just draw a static shape over the cutout. Islet actually behaves like iPhone's Dynamic Island: native spring-physics expand/collapse, real-time HUDs for volume and brightness, a live music glance with full playback controls, one-tap audio output switching (no System Settings detour), plus calendar, weather, and a file tray you can drop into from anywhere. Built natively in Swift + AppKit, not Electron, fast and fullscreen-aware.
