A menu bar app for macOS
Bring your keyboard to life.
TapWriter plays satisfying keyboard sounds as you type, in every app on your Mac. Vintage typewriters, mechanical switches, wood, water, coins, retro pong and more.
Hear it for yourself
Pick a sound, then start typing. These are the real recordings from the app.

No keyboard handy? Tap the keys above. Headphones recommended, every key has its own place in the stereo field.
Small app. Big feel.
Lives quietly in your menu bar and stays out of the way until you want it.
-
Dozens of sound sets
Typewriters, mechanical switches, wood, water, coins, pong and more. Or turn on Shuffle for a fresh sound every few hours.
-
Works in every app
Mail, Notes, your code editor, the browser. TapWriter plays along wherever you type.
-
A unique Enter sound
A satisfying carriage-return clunk when you hit Return, just like the real thing.
-
Spatial audio
Each key sits in its own spot, left to right, just like a real keyboard in front of you. Best on headphones.
-
Natural typing
Every keystroke varies a little in volume, so it sounds human rather than a machine gun of samples.
-
Mutes itself on calls
Goes quiet while your microphone is in use, or whenever music, video or a call is playing.
-
Schedule
Limit sounds to certain hours, like on during the workday and off at night.
-
Per-app control
Mute sounds in specific apps, or play them only in the ones you choose.
-
At home in the menu bar
Switch sounds and volume from a quick popover. Launch at login and forget it's there.
A sound for every mood
Every set in the app today, with more on the way.
