FROM PREVIEW TO YOUR MAC

How to add keyboard sounds on Mac.

The browser preview lets you compare sounds. The native app brings them to desktop apps with Plus.

  1. Download the Mac app and move Keyko.app to Applications.
  2. Read the first-open notice: the current beta is not Developer ID signed or notarized.
  3. Start sign-in from Keyko to connect the email account with your Plus plan.
  4. Turn on Sounds everywhere and enable Input Monitoring when prompted.
  5. Choose a sound, adjust the volume and type in another app.

Screen Recording is only needed for optional Screen Fold. Input Monitoring lets Keyko respond to key presses; typed content is not saved or uploaded. Account and payment information are processed separately.

BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD

A few good
questions.

What is Keyko?+

Keyko adds mechanical keyboard sounds to your existing keyboard. Use it in Chrome, in the free online typing playground, or across Mac apps with Keyko Plus. The Mac app also includes an optional Screen Fold effect for supported MacBooks.

Does it work with my keyboard?+

Yes. Keyko adds sounds to the keyboard you already use. The Chrome extension works on websites and New Tab; the native Mac app adds sounds across your desktop apps.

What can I use for free?+

Try every sound here on the website. The Chrome extension includes Creamy, Deep Thock, Crisp Linear and Tactile Brown, with Retro, Terminal, Midnight and Walnut keyboards. Plus unlocks the complete collection and sounds across your Mac.

One plan for both apps?+

Exactly. Sign in with the same email in Chrome and on Mac. Monthly, yearly and lifetime plans unlock both. If you reinstall, an email magic link brings your plan back—there is no license key to remember.

What about privacy?+

Keyko does not store or upload what you type. Sound preferences and aggregate typing totals stay on your device. Your account and payment details are used separately to restore and verify your plan.

How do I get started on Mac?+

Download the ZIP, move Keyko.app to Applications and open it. Sign in to restore Plus, then enable Keyko in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Input Monitoring. Restart if macOS asks. The optional screen fold effect also needs Screen Recording access. The universal app supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 14 or later.

What is Screen Fold?+

Screen Fold is an optional MacBook desktop effect that follows the lid as it closes and opens. Duo is the default: your desktop stays in place while progressive blur and shadow gently settle. You can also choose Plane, Silk, Shade or Frost, and adjust blur, shading, working angle and smoothness in Settings → Screen Fold. Live tracking requires a supported lid-angle sensor and Screen Recording permission. Frames stay on your Mac. The effect starts off and does not change normal lid-close sleep.

Why might macOS block the Mac download?+

The current download is a beta ZIP containing Keyko.app. It is not Developer ID signed or notarized yet, so macOS may block opening it. Apple Silicon or Intel and macOS 14 or later are required.

Are there ads in the typing playground?+

The free /play experience can show Google AdSense ads below the keyboard. Sign in on the website with your active Keyko Plus account for an ad-free playground. Ads are not part of the Chrome extension or Mac app.

Can I get mechanical keyboard sounds on a MacBook?+

Yes. The native app supports Intel and Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. Keyboard sounds across apps require Keyko Plus and Input Monitoring. Screen Fold has a separate supported-sensor requirement.

Can I try sounds without installing anything?+

Yes. Open the free /play playground, choose a sound and start typing. Browser audio starts after your interaction. All 47 profiles can be tried online.

Can I use a typewriter sound?+

Yes. Typewriter is a synthesized sound in the Keyko collection. Preview it in the playground before choosing a plan.

Is this a downloadable WAV or MP3 sound-effects library?+

Keyko plays sounds while you type. It does not offer a royalty-free keyboard sound-effects download library or grant reuse rights to the recordings. Existing sound credits and licenses apply.

Why can I hear the website but not other Mac apps?+

The website preview plays inside your browser. For sounds across Mac apps, check your Plus status, turn on Sounds everywhere, enable Keyko in Input Monitoring, and quit and reopen if macOS asks. See the Mac setup troubleshooting guide.

Can I cancel whenever I want?+

You can cancel monthly or yearly renewal from your account. Plus stays active through the period you have paid for. Lifetime is a one-time purchase.
