Sound Effects for Recording Feedback
Adds subtle audio cues when recording starts and stops, so users get clear feedback that VocaMac is listening.
Sounds
Tink.aiff— a soft, subtle tap soundPop.aiff— a soft pop soundBoth are built-in macOS system sounds, so no audio files need to be bundled.
Mute Toggle
A new Sound Effects section in Settings → Audio lets users disable sound effects without muting their entire system.
Setting is persisted via
@AppStorageand defaults to enabled.Implementation
