kliky.

Kliky operates strictly offline and respects your privacy. On the desktop client, it utilizes secure native system APIs (such as CGEventTap on macOS and low-level keyboard hooks on Windows) solely to detect keypress events and calculate spatial sound coordinates. It never reads or records character inputs, does not create text logs, and makes zero network requests. The entire utility runs locally on your machine with absolutely no tracking.

Kliky includes a local SQLite database that records daily batches of keystroke milestones. This allows you to track typing speed (WPM) and daily keystroke counts completely offline. All data is kept 100% offline in your local configurations folder. Absolutely zero analytical telemetry is collected, uploaded, or shared with external servers.

The 'Hyper Key' is a powerful keyboard hack that binds the complex four-modifier shortcut combination (Command + Option + Control + Shift) onto a single key, typically the underused Caps Lock. In Kliky, enabling this allows you to trigger global system macros, toggle sound profiles, and control Kliky features instantly from the home row without ever worrying about keyboard shortcut conflicts in other applications.

Kliky integrates native build updater frameworks. Five seconds after starting up, Kliky silently checks our secure update endpoint in the background. If a new version is available, it brings up a native pop-up prompting you to download and install the update in a single click, automatically restarting the app to apply changes.

No. Unlike bulky desktop applications, Kliky is engineered natively to communicate directly with your operating system's audio drivers. It consumes less than 1.2% CPU and under 15MB of RAM, making its battery footprint practically unnoticeable even during intense, continuous typing sessions.

Modern web browsers enforce strict security policies that prevent audio from playing automatically before you interact with the page. Simply click anywhere inside the text area sandbox, tap 'Test Latency' on the low-latency card, or actuate the switch stem on the switch blueprint to initialize the Web Audio context.

Yes! While Kliky comes with 5 official pre-loaded sound profiles (Zenith, Obsidian, Sapphire, Velvet, Neon), the desktop application allows you to drag-and-drop custom WAV or MP3 audio packs into your local settings directory to create your own signature acoustics. You can discover community profiles or submit your own creator pack URLs at our Sound Packs Gallery page at /packs.

Yes, Kliky supports both macOS and Windows. We provide universal natively compiled binaries optimized for both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and Intel Macs, as well as 64-bit packages for Windows 10 and 11.

Since Kliky is compiled and distributed directly to typing enthusiasts (independent of the expensive Mac App Store), macOS Gatekeeper flags it as an unsigned application. You can easily clear this warning in under 5 seconds by running a terminal command ('xattr -cr /Applications/kliky.app') or right-clicking to open it manually. Read our step-by-step instructions on our dedicated Setup Guide page at /setup.

Yes, Kliky works with all audio devices including Bluetooth headphones, speakers, and wired monitors. However, standard Bluetooth protocols introduce inherent wireless lag (typically 100-200ms). For the ultimate tactile synchronization, we recommend using wired headphones or enabling your headset's low-latency gaming mode. On the desktop client, you can also adjust the latency offset slider to micro-tune response timing.

Absolutely! The Kliky desktop application features an advanced Acoustic Mapper. By default, keys are balanced dynamically, but you can assign specific profiles or custom WAV files to specific key groups. For instance, you can configure a deep, thocky 'Zenith' switch on your Spacebar, Enter, and Backspace keys while keeping crisp 'Velvet' clickies on standard letters.

Yes! Kliky is a perfect companion for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts and membrane typists alike. If you are using a loud clicky switch keyboard, Kliky can add subtle sub-bass thocks or high-frequency chimes. If you use a silent board or a standard laptop keyboard (like Apple's Magic Keyboard), Kliky instantly elevates your typing to a premium mechanical experience.

In the Kliky Desktop Client settings, simply toggle the 'Launch on Startup' option. On macOS, this registers Kliky as a lightweight Login Item in System Settings, and on Windows, it configures a minimal Startup Shortcut. Since it uses negligible background resources, it will sit quietly in your system tray, active only when you are typing.
