New in 1.3 — Stats, Heatmap, Quiet Hours & Hotkey

Keystroke Sounds

Make every key sound like the bridge of the Enterprise — a clacky mechanical board, or an old typewriter. Now it also tracks how you type and stays out of your way when you need quiet.

New in 1.3

More than sound — insight, and control

Keystroke Sounds now understands how you type and respects when you need silence — two upgrades that make it a tool you keep, not a toy you mute.

Stats tab: live words-per-minute, session, today and all-time keystroke counts, and a colour key heatmap of the whole keyboard

Insight

Typing stats & a live key heatmap

A new Stats tab turns your typing into a picture: watch your words-per-minute climb in real time, and see the whole keyboard light up cool → hot by how often you hit each key.

  • Live WPM plus session, daily and all-time totals.
  • Colour heatmap of every key — hover for its exact count.
  • 100% private. Counts stay on your PC and reset any time.

Control

Quiet hours & a global mute hotkey

Keep the clacks for when you want them. Schedule automatic silence, or mute instantly from anywhere — without ever opening the window.

  • Quiet hours: set a daily window (even past midnight) and it mutes itself.
  • Global hotkey: one shortcut (default Ctrl+Alt+M) toggles sound system-wide.
  • Perfect for calls and screen-shares — your stats keep counting while muted.
Settings tab: quiet-hours schedule from 22:00 to 07:00 and a global mute hotkey set to Ctrl+Alt+M

Why you'll love it

🔊 A sound for every key

Letters spread across a sample pool, with distinct sounds for Space, Enter, Backspace, Tab and modifiers — so typing actually sounds good, not like one key on repeat.

🛟 Lives in the tray

Close or minimise and it tucks into the Windows taskbar arrow, playing quietly in the background across every app.

🎨 Make it yours

Build your own packs from any audio, swap sounds per key, or load a set from a link — your custom packs survive updates.

📈 Know your keyboard

Live WPM, daily & all-time counts and a colour key heatmap — all tracked privately on your own machine.

🌙 Quiet when you need it

Quiet-hours scheduling and a global mute hotkey keep things silent during calls, focus time or late nights.

Frequently asked questions

Is Keystroke Sounds free?

The installer is free to download and try. Buying a one-time license unlocks the app permanently — there's no subscription.

Which sound packs are included?

Star Trek TNG (LCARS), Mechanical Keyboard, Typewriter, Retro 8-bit, Sci-Fi Laser, Bubbles and Soft (Marshmallow) come built in. A free library of Musical, Nature and Sci-Fi packs can be downloaded from inside the app, and you can build your own from any audio files.

Does it run in the background?

Yes. Close or minimise the window and it keeps playing sounds from the Windows system tray while you work in any application.

Is my typing tracked or sent anywhere?

No. Words-per-minute, keystroke counts and the key heatmap are calculated and stored locally on your PC only, and you can reset them at any time.

Can I mute it during calls or screen-shares?

Yes — set a daily quiet-hours window, or toggle sound instantly with the global mute hotkey (default Ctrl+Alt+M) from anywhere, even while the window is closed.
