Keytones - Distinct key sounds for uppercase, lowercase & more

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Stefan, the maker of Keytones, a Mac menubar app.

I developed Keytones because I kept having trouble typing capital letters without realizing it. Keytones addresses this problem: It plays a different sound for uppercase letters, lowercase letters, the space bar, and the modifier keys (all customizable), so your ears will notice an accidentally activated Caps Lock key or an unpressed Shift key sooner than your eyes will.

What makes it different from "typewriter sound" apps:

Keytones isn't about imitating a mechanical keyboard. Each of the four key groups gets its own tone. You hear the difference between A and a immediately.

Key features:

• Shape the sound for each key group with four knobs: Pitch, Length, Damping, Volume

• Visual Feedback: A glowing border around the screen pulses with each keystroke, with the color and size varying depending on the key group. Can be turned on or off independently of keypress sounds. Ideal for environments where keypress sounds are disruptive or the audio output device has too much latency.

• Per-app control: exclude apps or allow only the ones you pick

• Import your own audio files via drag & drop

• Instant mute: triple-tap a configurable modifier key (Right Command by default)

• Siri & Shortcuts support

• Remembers separate volume levels per audio device (MacBook speakers, headphones, Bluetooth)
