README
KeyEcho
KeyEcho is a tiny open-source desktop app that plays pleasant keyboard sounds
while you type. It is built with Tauri, Rust, and Solid, and is designed to stay
local, fast, and easy to audit.
Local keyboard event handling for low-latency sound playback.
Cross-platform builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Small native desktop footprint instead of a bundled browser runtime.
No account, cloud sync, or typing-content analytics.
Custom sound packs for people who want to tune the typing feel.
Sound Packs
KeyEcho itself stays free and open source. Optional Crafted Packs are one-time
purchases. They are not a subscription, and they are not required to use the
app.
Crafted Packs are $3.99 each. All Sounds Forever is $9.99 once and includes
every current and future official Crafted Pack. Browse and try them at
keyecho.app/packs. Free packs download into the
app; paid packs unlock with a license key.
Want to create your own? See the custom sounds guide
for recording, processing, and adding your own sound packs to KeyEcho.
KeyEcho needs the operating system permissions required for global keyboard
event listening. It maps key events to local sound playback; it does not upload
typed content.
