Tadak
Windows 10 / 11 · Runs quietly in your system tray
Clack. And your mind settles.
Find your sound.
Notepad, Excel, in-game chat — it doesn't matter. Every key you press anywhere in Windows plays the sound you picked. Not another web ASMR demo that only works inside a browser tab.
Press any key right now — you'll hear it right here, before you even download.
You'll see two warnings while installing. That's expected.
- 1 Download If your browser says "This file isn't commonly downloaded", click ⋯ next to the file → Keep.
- 2 Run When "Windows protected your PC" pops up, click More info → Run anyway.
- 3 Install Next → Finish. Once the icon shows up in your system tray, you're done.
This happens because the installer doesn't have a code-signing certificate yet, so Windows flags it as coming from an unrecognized publisher. That doesn't mean the file is corrupted or unsafe. Both warnings go away once we add the certificate.
Keeps playing no matter which window you're in
Key detection happens at the OS level. Close your browser, switch to Word or your IDE — the sound comes with you.
Not a looping audio file
Most sounds are synthesized in real time. Every keystroke varies a little, so it never turns into a robotic loop.
Turn it on and forget about it
Sits quietly in your system tray. Launches automatically with Windows. Hit Ctrl+Alt+K to mute instantly.
29 sounds
Pick one, hear it right above
Click a card and the keyboard up top switches to that sound. Then type anything to try it out.
A program that reads your keystrokes — it's fair to be a little suspicious. So here's exactly where we draw the line.
- What we read — That a key was pressed, and just enough to tell Space or Enter from a regular letter. Nothing more. Used only to pick the right sound.
- What we discard — The exact character you typed is gone the instant the sound plays. Never written to a file, never stored in memory.
- What we never send — The app makes zero network calls related to your typing. It works exactly the same offline.
- Don't take our word for it — Block Tadak in your firewall. Everything works exactly as before.
One more thing
Clicky keyboards aren't a niche hobby anymore
Mechanical keyboard videos pull millions of views. Offices that went silent a decade ago are filling back up with clicks. People don't just tolerate the sound — they seek it out.

FAQ
What usually trips people up before installing
I get a warning when I download or run it
Both warnings are expected, and they share the same cause: this file doesn't have a code-signing certificate yet, so your browser and Windows both treat it as an unrecognized program. That doesn't mean the file is corrupted or malicious.
1) Browser — If it says "This file isn't commonly downloaded," click ⋯ next to the file → Keep (Edge: Keep anyway).
2) Windows — If "Windows protected your PC" appears, click More info → Run anyway.
Both warnings go away once we add the certificate — we'll apply it as soon as it's ready.
If installers are blocked on your work PC, there's a zip version too (114 MB). Unzip it, open the Tadak-1.0.3 folder, and run Tadak.exe inside. Just make sure you unzip it first — running it straight from inside the zip will throw an error.
My antivirus is flagging this app
Detecting keystrokes is technically the same thing a keylogger does, so some antivirus tools flag it based on behavior alone. What we do and don't collect is explained above.
If it keeps getting blocked, add the install folder to your antivirus's exception list. We're reporting the false positive to vendors as well.
Does it work on Mac or Linux?
Right now, only Windows 10/11 (64-bit) is supported. A Mac version needs its own accessibility-permission approval flow, so it's planned once the Windows version is settled.
We'll email you the moment the Mac version ships — get notified
What happens if I switch PCs after buying?
Enter the same license key on the new PC and it unlocks right away. We don't count activations server-side, so switching PCs or reinstalling doesn't require re-verification — just reuse the same key.
That said, the price assumes personal use — please don't share one key across multiple people.
Can I get a refund?
Because this is digital content, refund rights are limited once a license key has been issued and used (Korean E-Commerce Act, Article 17(2)(5)). We recommend trying the 6 free sounds before buying.
If you haven't entered the key yet, or the app doesn't work properly, you'll get a full refund.
Does it work in full-screen games?
Yes. Keystrokes are still detected in full-screen games. If you only want it off sometimes, mute it with Ctrl+Alt+K or turn it off from the tray icon.
