# Teclo

> Mechanical keyboard sounds and a keycap pet for your Mac.

- Teclo is a macOS menu bar app that plays a keyboard sound for every key you press, in any app.
- Its 16 sound packs are synthesized by Teclo's own sound engine, not recorded from real keyboards.
- Price: $4.99 once, no subscription, for up to 3 Macs. Free trial: 7 days, no account.
- Requires macOS 13 or later. Sold directly at teclo.app through Polar, not on the Mac App Store.
- Includes a keycap pet that reacts to typing speed, mouse click and scroll sounds, and custom WAV sound packs.
- Teclo hears which key is pressed, not what you type; nothing you type leaves the Mac.
