mechvibes VS Repo_Depot

I do not know if it the right place to ask this but i have actually browsed the other subreddits and this seems to be the most appropriate one. The title explains it, I do not really posses any programming knowledge other than the one time i have taken a python course. This program seems pretty cool and it is open source, I wonder if it is safe to use though ? I usually stop these kind of programs from accessing the internet since they do not need it but still want to be sure about it, do anyone know if it is safe or can check if it is safe ? Here is the link for the project: https://github.com/hainguyents13/mechvibes Thank you in advance.

It also has a lot known memory leak issues especially on macOS: https://github.com/hainguyents13/mechvibes/issues/181 https://github.com/hainguyents13/mechvibes/issues/192

Mechvibes is very good. Free and have bunch of soundpacks

What do you think about applications like Mechvibe (https://mechvibes.com/) in security terms? Someone using it or you completely aware of apps like this according to security reasons?

You don't really need a plugin specifically for this. You can use this software to do the job.

I've been using it all the time when coding or browsing the internet.(you should check Mechvibes out if you like keyboards too). But it started getting boring and I wanted an app that played clicking sounds too. So I made one. I called it clicket. It's made using the ElectronJS framework with React.

For anyone that wants a version of this that actually works download mechvibes .exe
