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
