About SlapMetrics

SlapMetrics is a native macOS menu bar app that monitors the numbers of a web business and celebrates milestones with sounds and on-screen effects. You connect Stripe, Google Analytics 4, Datafast or Google Search Console, and the app reacts to events such as a new payment, a refund, live visitors reaching a goal or total sessions over 28 days.

The page lists 38 kinds of events and a large bank of sounds, including applause, an airhorn, a jackpot sound and an error buzzer. Firing a reaction again while one is on screen stacks combo messages. A test reaction button lets you preview the effect before real events arrive. It requires macOS 14 or later and is aimed at indie makers who want a live alert when something happens in their stack. The homepage mentions a 7-day free trial and a one-time purchase.
