Tickeys is a macOS desktop app that plays instant audio feedback for every keystroke, with multiple sound schemes (mechanical keyboards, drums, Star Wars, etc.) and custom scheme support. It is written in Rust as a demo project for learning the language.
Use cases
- play mechanical keyboard sounds while typing on a mac
- get audio feedback for typing
- customize keystroke sound effects with my own wav files
- make typing sound like a drum kit
- enable typing sounds only in certain apps with a blacklist
When to choose
- you are on macOS and want instant typing sound feedback with customizable schemes
- you want a lightweight native app installable via Homebrew cask
When to avoid
- you are on Windows or Linux (use the separate Tickeys versions for those platforms)
- you need sound feedback on a system without accessibility permissions
