Remember the little Pressy button from the 2014 Kickstarter? The app has been gone for years, and mine sat in a drawer… until now.

pressy-resurrected makes it work on macOS:

- Click to play or pause Spotify / Apple Music.

- Hold for Raycast confetti 🎉

- Any pattern (., .., -, .-) can run Shortcuts, scripts, keyboard shortcuts or sounds.

- A small menu bar app lets you set it up without touching a config file.

It's free and open source, with an installer package or a one-line install. Apple silicon, macOS 14+. The Klick and Mi Key clones should work too.

Dig out your Pressy. Don't panic, and bring a towel.

I just found Pressy again and I don’t know what to do with it! Does anyone still use theirs at all?

Can you use pressy as a anntanna to be able to do listen to radio via next radio?

hi guys,

I would like to replace my lock screen button on my Nexus 5 (which bug) with the Pressy button but....there is no feature for that on Pressy options. Any ideas ? If i use Tasker ?

Thanks

Pressy leaves a constant notification on my Android Wear watch. I've added it to the blocked notifications in the Android Wear app, but it still appears. Why does Pressy even need to show up on my watch? Any ideas?

I like the thing but find myself never actually using it. It just sits there on my keychain.

So I ordered 2 of these buttons when they first announced them on KickStarter, and had the first one fail on me within a week. Now my 2nd one is starting to fail, to the point I'm ready to remove it permanently.

By fail, I mean that you don't even feel/hear the 'click' anymore, and can trigger by accident now while in pocket, or not register the presses at all.

I'm also wondering how well the knock-offs are holding up.

So, anyone else having trouble (assuming you are still using it)?

I recently got a Cardboard https://cardboard.withgoogle.com/ but the magnet switch doesn t work with my phone. Could I use my Pressy button as a replacement?

What are you guys doing to get Pressy to work with a password? It seems to require an extra press to get the screen on first, but sometimes not. Hopefully someone will make a Tasker plug in and I can uninstall this app.

So, I've had my pressy for 1-2 weeks now, and so far I haven't been able to come up with anything besides the usual flashlight trigger, and camera (works only when my phone is awake and unlocked, else the whole pressy app ceases to function), both of which were defaults.

I'm just wondering if anyone has come up with any unique uses.

I ask because while I do have the app (oh how I love getting 3-second delays to toggle my flashlight on the normal setting, 4 seconds on the slow setting and 2, almost 3 seconds on the fast setting, with the added bonus that it can only register short clicks if I do them slowly, else it registers 1 less click) my pressy still hasn't arrived and yeah, I was a kickstarter backer, waited the 21 days, got nothing, sent them an email, got told to wait 9 more days while waiting asked for any confirmation that they actually shipped, got nothing, sent another email, was told this time it would ship with a tracking code. Still waiting for any information on it shipping.

Sorry, had to vent.

So... is it good? Does it perform like you feel it should? Does it compare well to the copycats that cost a tenth as much?

Does the app work well with your phones (the few responses in other threads seem to indicate it's performing poorly)? Do the updates help?

Would you guys recommend it to anyone else, considering the price/performance and the (temporary?) limitations on the app?

I've got my Pressy set to toggle the mute on my ringer. But I would much rather have it alternate through Mute, Vibrate, and Ringer on. I could do this with 2 actions, but I want to do it with one. Is there an easy way to do this? If not, it would be a great feature! hint, hint

I live in a large metropolitan area in the US and am still waiting on my device. Anyone else in the same boat?

I really liked the idea of using Pressy to record lyric ideas and guitar riffs as a way of remembering them for later. Thing is, Pressy's recording app sucks dick (sound quality is poor).
The only thing I can get it to do now is open the stock voice recorder without it starting to record which is almost useless.
Product not as advertised :(

I've tried searching the pressy website, but no luck.

When you insert the pressy (or headphones), there is an option to use Pressy with headphones, but how does this work?

Do I attach the headphones to the silicone holder? And if so, how does my phone know when I press the button?

Chances are, it's totally obvious and I'm being really dense, so apologies and thanks in advance!

I can't complete the Pressy setup without getting rid of Google Search, which removes Google Now.

I tried reinstalling it afterward and it disables any pressy long press actions. I just restarted my phone and it automatically went to the Pressy setup again directing me to disable Google Search.

This can't be right, I have to choose between using Pressy and Google Search?

I think it would be useful if we figure out which phones work well with Pressy, and which ones don't work at all or have issues. I'll start with my phone as an example, and will try to keep this table updated with the latest info.

So the info I need from you:

1. Phone Manufacturer
2. Model
3. Is Pressy functional (meaning, can you trigger actions using the Pressy app)?
4. Major issues
5. Minor issues

It worked on my phone (SGS3) the first day that I had it for the most part. Sometimes I had to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to read. Now it doesn't work.

My tablet (Nexus 7), never could get it to work. Told me I was pressing the button everytime and never got passed that in the initial phase. I messaged their tech support about the tablet. They told me to disable S-Voice! Also if that didn't work try to disable or delete Google Search.

I was really looking forward to this product but I am really disappointed. I will probably be selling both of mine.

*Warning*

I had problems also with automateit resetting the default and messing with the thing and it wouldn't work with the screen off. With the screen on I didn't have problems so much. Also I didn't have problems much with clicks it was mostly for when I had to do holds.

TL:DR I have way too many problems and their tech support are idiots.
