How much do I type in a day?
A live counter sits in your menu bar all day, and hourly charts show exactly when your fingers were busiest — morning sprint or midnight grind.

FAQ
Asked and answered.
Does KeyboardCount record what I type?
No. KeyboardCount only counts key presses. It never records or stores the characters or content you type.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. All data stays on your Mac. KeyboardCount makes zero network requests and has no cloud sync, analytics or telemetry.
Why isn't KeyboardCount on the Mac App Store?
The Mac App Store requires apps to be sandboxed, which prevents system-wide keyboard monitoring. KeyboardCount needs that capability to count keystrokes across all applications, so it is sold directly.
Can I exclude certain apps from tracking?
Yes. In Settings you can exclude any application from tracking, which is useful for password managers or other sensitive apps.
How much does KeyboardCount cost?
KeyboardCount is a one-time purchase of $9.99 with free updates forever. There is no subscription.
Which Macs does KeyboardCount support?
KeyboardCount is a native Swift menu bar app for macOS 14.0 Sonoma or later, on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
