TypeMIDI turns your Mac keyboard into a system-level MIDI controller — a lightweight menu-bar app that creates its own virtual CoreMIDI source, so no loopback driver or routing setup is needed.

This is the first public release. Free software under GPL-3.0-or-later.

Highlights

  • Switchable note layouts — a tracker-style default and an isomorphic (Linnstrument-style) layout. Layouts are plain JSON files you can add, switch from the menu, and share. See KEYMAP.md.
  • Octave + semitone transpose and velocity control, from the keyboard or menu sliders.
  • Background menu-bar agent, configurable global toggle (default Control + Escape), run-at-login, and a virtual MIDI source any DAW can select.

Install

  1. Download TypeMIDI-1.1.0.zip below, unzip, and move TypeMIDI.app to Applications.
  2. It isn't notarized (free, no paid Apple account), so clear Gatekeeper once: try to open it (macOS will block it), then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the "TypeMIDI was blocked" message, and click Open Anyway → confirm. (On macOS 14 and earlier you can instead right-click → Open → Open.) Or remove the quarantine flag up front: 
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TypeMIDI.app
  3. Grant Accessibility when prompted (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility), then relaunch. You only do this once.

Requires macOS 13 or later. See the README for full usage and troubleshooting.
