daktilo is a small Rust command-line program that plays typewriter sounds every time you press a key, turning your keyboard into a virtual typewriter. It ships with built-in sound presets and supports custom keypress sound configurations.
Use cases
- play typewriter sounds while typing on my keyboard
- make typing sound like an old typewriter
- customize keypress sounds with my own audio presets
- prank my coworkers with typewriter noises
- play music box or drum sounds as I type
When to choose
- you want a lightweight cross-platform CLI that adds nostalgic typewriter audio to any keyboard
- you want configurable sound presets and multiple simultaneous presets
- you prefer a Rust binary installable via cargo or system packages
When to avoid
- you need a GUI application with visual typewriter effects
- you need system-wide sound injection beyond the app's own key listening
- you require accessibility features or silent typing
