Dune - Context-aware Mac keypad to automate workflows + meetings
byβ’
Dune is a Context-aware Keypad for Mac that sits next to your keyboard and changes what its three keys do in real time based on the app running in the foreground. Built for developers who live in GitHub, VS Code, Claude, Openclaw, and for anyone running AI agents or in back to back meetings on Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet.

What happens during a screen share when someone else can see your screen? Do the key labels show up on the Mac display or is that only visible to you?

As someone who has spent years building hardware, shipping something this precise and this smart at the same time is genuinely satisfying. Really proud of what this team pulled off.

Every surface on this was intentional. Good to finally have it out in the world!

Designing something this compact while keeping it intentional and complete was a unique challenge. Really Happy with how it turned out!
How fast is the remapping actually? Like is it instant or is there a moment where the keys are in between states? Never clocked it properly.
Any hint on what the post-launch price lands at?
This looks fantastic! Congrats on the launch! It's USB-C connection, but you have M2 or later on the site for compatibility. Any specific reason an M1 Mac won't work? There are 2 USB-C ports in the same location as the newer models
the pre-loaded Claude and GitHub triggers are exactly what I'd use. does it handle running multiple AI tools at the same time, or does it lock to whichever one is in the foreground?

Great to a see an hardware product here especially the one that isn't gimmicky. Looks like a nice and simple alternative to Stream Deck. Congrats on the launch @apoorv_shankar
Couple of questions.
1) Any plans of introducing colors? Would love to have one that matches the exact colors of Macbook (so it isn't noticable ;) ). It isn't a deal breaker though.
2) Was planning to order today but curious to know where this will be shipped from? Would like to be prepared for customs and other charges too in case it is from SG/HK/CN etc.
the fact that it changes based on the foreground app is sneaky smart π been losing my mind switching between cursor claude and meetings lately so this solves the exact right problem.
how hard was app detection to get reliable across all the chaos?
