Getting started

Mono Keys lives in your menu bar (there's no Dock icon). On first launch it asks for Input Monitoring access — this is how any app can hear key presses. Click Open System Settings, switch on Mono Keys, then start typing. Sounds begin immediately; the app notices the change on its own.

I enabled it but hear no sound

• Check System Settings → Privacy & Security → Input Monitoring and make sure Mono Keys is switched on.
• Click the menu-bar icon and confirm sounds are turned on (or press ⌥⌘K).
• Check the volume slider isn't at zero.
• Make sure the current app isn't in your muted-apps list.

How do I change the sound?

Click the menu-bar icon to switch sounds instantly, or open the main window to browse the full library by category, preview each sound, and set favorites.

Can I use my own sound?

Yes. Open the window, go to Custom Sounds → Import, and choose a short clip (WAV, MP3, M4A or AIFF, up to 5 seconds). It's stored only on your Mac.

Mute in certain apps

In Settings, add any app to the mute list — Mono Keys will automatically go silent whenever that app is in front (handy for calls or games).

Turn everything off quickly

Press ⌥⌘K anywhere to toggle sounds on or off, or use the menu-bar switch.

Does Mono Keys record what I type?

No. It only detects that a key was pressed, never which characters. Nothing is recorded, stored or sent — there's no network connection at all. See the privacy policy.
