VibePad

Control coding assistants and desktop shortcuts with a game controller on macOS.

Meet VibePad

VibePad is a macOS menu bar application that maps a game controller to commands for coding assistants and desktop navigation. Users can accept or cancel suggestions, submit prompts, browse input history, and move between tabs without reaching for a keyboard. A voice-input shortcut can activate the user's preferred transcription tool.

Analog sticks control pointer movement and scrolling, while an additional button layer provides application switching and window commands. Smart Paste handles either text or images from the clipboard. Button mappings, sensitivity, dead zones, and layers can be adjusted through a JSON configuration. The app supports common PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and other compatible controllers.
