I vibe-coded a tiny Mac app called Funkey, and it makes your MacBook keyboard sound like a real mechanical keyboard, or even a vintage typewriter.
I know it sounds unnecessary… but typing somehow feels way more satisfying now. 😄
The idea came from missing the sound of my mechanical keyboard whenever I worked from my MacBook.
A fun surprise: despite being such a niche app, it made $98.34 in the last 30 days with almost no marketing.
Curious what other “pointless but delightful” apps people have built that ended up getting real users.

Letter Flow is a relaxing and satisfying word game with a cool liquid effect. Move letter droplets and watch them flow smoothly into place as you find the correct word. Just drag, drop, and solve.
I launched a simple game called Letter Flow. It is a relaxing word puzzle where letters move like liquid and flow into place as you solve words. The idea was to make something calm and satisfying, not just another fast-paced game. I kept the gameplay simple with drag and drop mechanics, clean design, and added an AI level generator to create new levels instantly on device.
I did not expect much when I launched it, but it started generating sales. It was a small moment, but it felt meaningful seeing someone actually pay for something I built.
It made me realize that even simple games can work if they focus on experience. Now I am building more apps with the same approach, keeping things simple, shipping fast, and learning from real users instead of overthinking.

I’d love to get feedback on my app store title, subtitle, and especially the screenshots. My goal is to make the app more appealing and discoverable to parents looking for educational apps for their kids.
I love mechanical keyboards and the satisfying sound they make when typing.
I hate carrying them while traveling.
So I made an app.
FunKey turns my MacBook keyboard into a mechanical keyboard experience with satisfying thocky sounds and customizable typing feedback.
