About
Knock listens for physical taps on the MacBook chassis or trackpad and maps single, double, and triple knocks to actions such as copy, paste, screenshots, locking the screen, or switching desktops. Knocks can also run Apple Shortcuts, open apps, trigger custom commands, or do different things in different apps. Chassis tapping depends on the MacBook model, so a built-in test checks support, and Trackpad Tap Mode works on any Mac.
