Unlimited mode is a counter
With no timer, the workspace simply counts every spacebar press. Use it for fun, challenges, or a quick hand warm-up.
Spacebar Counter
Press the space bar to add to the counter. Choose a timed run or unlimited mode, then compare your best result stored in this browser.
0 presses
0.00 per second
0:00 elapsed
Privacy: counts are kept in memory for the active session. A saved best is stored
only in localStorage and can be cleared here.
About this test
Timed mode measures speed
A 10, 30, or 60 second run reports presses per second, which is a cleaner speed metric than a raw total.
Best results stay local
The best timed result is saved in localStorage only when you choose to save it. It can be cleared at any time.

Does the counter work on mobile?
Spacebar counting requires a physical keyboard, so the mobile layout explains the limitation instead of showing a broken counter.
Why does my total reset when I reload?
Session counts are intentionally not stored. Only explicitly saved best results use localStorage.
How do I count my spacebar presses for a specific time duration?
Use timed mode by selecting a time limit before starting. The counter records every press until the timer ends, then shows your total and average presses per second. This helps measure sustained speed.
What does 'presses per second' indicate in the results?
Presses per second is your average speed, calculated by dividing total presses by elapsed seconds. It gives a standardized measure of how rapidly you pressed the spacebar, useful for comparing performance between shorter and longer sessions.
Where is my local best saved and can I clear it?
Your local best is saved in your browser's local storage on your device. It stays until you clear browser data or the counter provides a reset option. It is not uploaded to any server.
