pyobjc-framework-CoreHaptics
Wrappers for the framework CoreHaptics on macOS
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need to control haptic feedback from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and installs with low friction. The main caveat is that you must consult Apple's CoreHaptics documentation separately, as this wrapper provides bindings only, not a high-level Python API.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- macOS 10.15 or later required; CoreHaptics is not available on other operating systems.
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Low friction installation as a pure-Python wheel.

What it is and what it does
This package wraps Apple's CoreHaptics framework, making it accessible from Python on macOS. CoreHaptics is the system framework for controlling haptic feedback on compatible Apple devices—primarily MacBook trackpads and other hardware with haptic motors. The wrapper translates between Python and Objective-C, allowing you to create and play haptic patterns programmatically.
The package is part of PyObjC and does not include its own documentation; instead, you rely on Apple's CoreHaptics documentation for framework concepts and PyObjC's general documentation for Python-to-Objective-C translation patterns. It depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, and requires Python 3.10 or later on macOS.
Use it for
- Add haptic feedback to macOS applications when users interact with UI elements or receive notifications.
- Create immersive gaming experiences on MacBook trackpads by triggering haptic patterns during gameplay.
- Build accessibility features that provide tactile feedback for users who benefit from haptic cues.
- Prototype or test haptic patterns for macOS applications without writing Objective-C directly.
