Spacebar counter.
One key. Your own pace. See how many presses you can fit into a few seconds.
Ready when you are. The first press starts the clock.
Spacebar mode counts physical Space presses while the large key has focus. Holding the key counts once. A physical keyboard is required.

How to use the spacebar counter
Choose 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds, then focus the key.
Click or Tab to the large key, then press Space. The first accepted press starts the timer. Your rate is the number of presses divided by the full test length. In Free count, the rate uses elapsed time.
A held key is one press.
Operating systems repeat keys when you hold them down. This counter ignores those repeats and waits for you to release Space. Clicks on the large key only count in Tap / click mode, which keeps its own result history.
Compare like with like.
Use the same duration, device and input mode when comparing rounds. Leaving the page, switching tabs or moving focus away from the key cancels an active test. This is a personal practice tool; it does not certify scores or detect every kind of automation.
Using a phone?
Connect a physical keyboard for a spacebar test, or choose Tap / click for a touchscreen test. Touch results measure tapping and are kept separate from spacebar results.
Spacebar test questions
Which test lengths can I choose?
Choose 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds before starting. Free count has no fixed finish time. Click or Tab to the large key; the first accepted press starts the count.
Does holding Space count as many presses?
No. Keyboard mode ignores held-key repeats and waits for you to release Space before counting the next press. Moving focus away from the key or switching tabs cancels an active round.
Can I use a spacebar counter on a phone?
Use a physical keyboard for the spacebar test. Tap / click is a separate input mode for touchscreen or mouse-button activations; its results are not the same as physical spacebar speed.
Are these world-record or certified scores?
No. This is a personal practice counter. Up to 12 completed rounds stay in this browser, with duration and input mode recorded separately. The site has no global leaderboard and does not certify physical input or detect all automation.
