A tray app for depraved power users
Every USB, HDMI, charger, and headphone jack now plays a
sound of its choosing the moment it slides home. 9 curated moans.
2 cartoon boings for when your mother visits. Subtle. Tasteful.
Your OS already emits a device-connect event every time anything makes contact with any port. hotPlugg listens for it, waits for the handshake to finish, and at the exact moment your hardware says "I'm in", plays the sound you picked.
No polling. No drivers. No permission prompts. Event-driven Rust, ~0% CPU when nothing is happening — which, statistically, is most of the time.
Every pack is a folder of .wav / .mp3 / .ogg. hotPlugg picks one at random per event — or loops a specific track, if you're feeling methodical.
All the filth lives in your ears. The app looks like every other tray utility you've ever ignored.

PreferencesNo. It's a utility that plays a sound when you plug something in. The included sounds just happen to be moans. Which does, we admit, change the vibe.
Technically yes. Socially, god no. The /cartoon pack exists for a reason. Or drop in your own sounds — elevator ding, air-horn, dial-up modem. Whatever passes your HR test.
Yes. USB, HDMI, DisplayPort, audio jack, Bluetooth pairing, chargers, external drives. If your OS emits a device-notification, hotPlugg hears it and fires the event.
Nothing. No account, no cloud, no analytics, no crash reporter. hotPlugg does not know you exist, which is — we feel strongly — how this category of software should behave.
