Keep spacebar totals, burst speed, longest streaks, and interval rhythm in one place for focused tapping checks, quick practice, or simple live counting.
A spacebar counter works better when burst pace, streaks, and rhythm stability stay in one focused panel instead of spreading across a full keyboard layout.

Usage notes
Only fresh keydown events are counted, so held keys do not inflate the total.
Current burst speed is based on a rolling 1-second window, which is more useful for instant pace tracking.
If you only want a simple counter, the total plus reset button already cover the basic job.

This curve shows recent spacebar intervals. Lower usually means faster, flatter usually means steadier.
A new entry appears every time a fresh spacebar interval is formed.
A spacebar counter is not only for messing around. Sometimes you just need a zero-friction way to count, warm up, or watch repeated tapping, and the spacebar happens to be the easiest key to hit again and again.
If something happens and you need to keep a running count without grabbing the mouse, tapping space is often the simplest option. Your hands stay on the keyboard and you can keep watching the real task instead of staring at a counter button.
You can also use it to see how quickly you can repeat a key, or whether the spacebar feels stable during repeated presses. This page is not only about the total. It also exposes burst pace and interval rhythm so the tapping pattern is easier to read.
Some people use a page like this to warm up, some use it for game-related drills, and some simply want to check whether a new keyboard spacebar feels right. Open, press, count, done.
There is no complex setup here. This page behaves like a browser-side session tool: open it, hit space, watch the numbers move, and reset when you want a clean round.
The page listens for fresh spacebar keydown events. Every press updates the total, burst speed, streak length, and interval rhythm immediately, so there is no separate start step.
If you want to restart practice, clear a messy run, or begin a new count from zero, hit reset and the current session starts over cleanly.
The total alone only tells you how many times you pressed. Average interval, fastest interval, and the rhythm curve say much more about whether your tapping is stable, explosive, or fading late in the run.
The current page is meant for quick counting, drills, and self-checks. After a manual reset or page refresh, you are starting a new session rather than continuing a permanent saved record.
These answers focus on what this page is good for, how streaks are counted, and how it differs from the keyboard CPS test.
Session pace averages the whole run, while current burst only looks at the latest 1-second window.
Two consecutive spacebar hits within about 450 ms are treated as one continuous streak. Larger gaps start a new streak.
The keyboard CPS test is more focused on scoring inside a defined time window. This page is more flexible as a live counter and rhythm monitor, so it works well for casual counting, warm-ups, and repeated tapping checks.
Not in the current version. This tool is designed around quick session-based counting, so reset and refresh both start a new run instead of restoring a saved long-term total.
