Keydance

A menu bar app for Mac

Your day,
in keystrokes.

Keydance sits in your menu bar and counts your keystrokes, clicks, and pointer movement, then turns them into heatmaps and a daily rhythm. It counts what you press — never what you type.

macOS 13 or later · Every feature free for 7 days · Then yearly or one-time

See which keys
work the hardest.

By the end of the day your space bar has taken a thousand hits, and Delete has been busy too. Every key gets a count — never a single word of what you typed.

02 / 04Today’s rhythmPRO

Your day has
a heartbeat.

Twenty-four hours in 96 slices. A slow warm-up in the morning, a rush at four, a break for dinner, and one last burst before bed.

03 / 04Screen heatmapPRO

Where did your pointer go?

295meters of pointer travel today (an on-screen estimate) — most of a lap around a running track

Blue is where your pointer lingers; orange is where you click. No screenshots, no trails — just a heatmap.

Only counts are kept — never prompts, replies, or code. You decide which agents to connect.

Also: all-time totals, activity trends, top keys, day and night looks, and ten languages.

Privacy

It counts what you press. Never what you type.

What you type stays yours. No account, no cloud sync — your records stay on your Mac.

What it keeps

  • Daily and all-time key and click counts
  • Pointer distance (estimated)
  • 15-minute rhythm and coarse heat distributions

What it never keeps

  • What you type, your clipboard, screenshots
  • Which apps, websites, or files you use
  • The order of your keys or your pointer’s path

Only Input Monitoring is required, and recording pauses in password fields. The leaderboard is opt-in. Full privacy policy

Pricing

Try everything first. Then decide.

  • First 7 days

    Every feature, free. The trial starts on first launch — no purchase needed and no automatic charge.

  • After that

    Recording keeps going and nothing is deleted. Today’s three numbers and all-time totals stay free.

  • Pro

    Yearly or one-time — the same Pro either way: heatmaps, rhythm, past days, deeper statistics, more themes, and multiple agents. Prices are shown in the App Store.

Questions

Before you download

Does it record what I type?

No. It counts which key was pressed and how many times. It never stores text, the order of keys, or when each one was pressed.

Why does it need Input Monitoring?

macOS requires it for any app that counts keyboard and mouse activity system-wide. Keydance only listens; it can’t control other apps and doesn’t need Accessibility.

Will it run on my Mac?

Any Mac with macOS 13 or later, Apple silicon or Intel.

How do I delete everything?

In Settings, choose Clear all data and confirm. If you joined the leaderboard, Leave and Delete also removes your ranking data from the server.

More answers on the Help & Support page, or email support@keydance.app.
