Nothing leaves your device
This tool runs entirely in your browser. What you type, play or record here stays on your device: nothing is uploaded or saved on a server.
How it works
- Choose how long the test lasts, or No timer to count until you reset.
- Press the space bar as fast as you can; the timer starts with your first press. On a phone or tablet, tap the big Space key instead.
- Read your presses, presses per second and rating; your best for each timed length is kept in this browser. Press Esc or Reset to start again.
Frequently asked questions
- Does holding the space bar down count?
- No. A held key repeats on its own, and those repeats are ignored — only real presses count.
- What is a good space bar speed?
- Most people press about 5 to 7 times a second. Here 6.5 a second or more counts as fast and 9 or more as very fast.
- Will the page scroll when I press space?
- Not while the counter has focus: it takes focus when the page opens and keeps the space bar for itself. If the page scrolls, click the counter first.
- Can I use it on a phone?
- Yes — tap the big Space key. A run made with taps only is shown as taps, with its own best score.
- Is anything recorded?
- No. It runs in your browser with nothing to install; your best scores stay in this browser and nothing is uploaded.
