About KeyEcho

Listen to Mechanical Keyboard Sounds with Every Keystroke - It's Fast.

What's new in 1.1.1

Features

  • Add a status bar that shows what is armed, the last key played, and its level, so silence from a muted volume never reads as a broken app
  • Add a keyboard sound test for comparing recorded packs in the browser
  • Offer All Sounds Forever in the sound library: $9.99 once for every current and future official Crafted Pack. Every Crafted Pack in the list unlocks through this offer; single packs are still sold on their pages at keyecho.app
  • Rebuild Browse packs: Crafted packs lead the list, most popular first, and the banner states what All Sounds Forever includes and how it is delivered
  • Filter Browse packs by sound type and price
  • Show a loading state while a pack preview is fetched, and keep the Browse packs dialog one height while filtering
  • Allow volume up to 150% for quieter packs (#48)
  • Add a Sounds folder link at the bottom of the window that opens where sound packs are stored (#36)
  • Clarify the license dialog: Activate a key, get a key sent to your email, and read plain errors when a key or the server does not answer
  • Quieten notifications: picking a pack, changing volume, toggling auto launch and finishing a download now show in place instead of raising a notification

Fixes

  • Keep the update prompt's buttons on screen: it now lists a few highlights and links to the full notes (#46)
  • Make pack previews more reliable: retry dropped connections and tolerate tiny timing rounding in sound files
  • Keep the pack menu inside the window, and stop it scrolling the list behind it
  • Use thin scrollbars that match the app

Changed

  • Remove the KeyEcho v1 pack import; this version no longer detects or imports packs from the old app

Security

  • Send license keys in the Authorization header for entitlement checks and paid-pack downloads instead of placing them in URLs
  • Keep compatibility with existing v1.1.0 purchases while the website accepts the previous query format during migration
