VibePad
Control AI coding assistants with a gamepad from your couch
VibePad is a free macOS menu bar app that maps your gamepad to keyboard shortcuts. Built for AI coding tools like Claude Code and Codex where the workflow is mostly Accept, Reject, Scroll, Navigate and Dictate. X - approve, O - reject, L2 trigger = hold-to-talk dictation, Right stick = scroll. Config is a JSON file if you want to remap anything. Native Swift. Open source. No account, no subscription, no catch. The idea started as a joke - then I built most of VibePad using VibePad itself.
VibePad is a Open Source company. It launched on Product Hunt on Feb 25, 2026, with 119 upvotes. Adamlead has 1 person on file at VibePad.
