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.
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.

Supported targets:
- Windows x64 / ARM64
- macOS Intel / Apple Silicon
- Linux x64 / ARM64
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.
