Install the keyboard simulator app
Keyboard Simulators can be installed as an app on your phone, tablet or computer, straight from your browser. It opens in its own window with its own icon, and pages you have used keep working offline. There is no app store download and nothing to pay.
Checking whether your browser can install the app...
What you get
- An icon on your home screen, dock or start menu that opens the site in its own window, without the browser toolbar.
- Shortcuts to the keyboard simulator, the typing test, the keyboard tester and the keyboard clicker game: press and hold the icon on Android, or right-click it on a computer.
- Offline use for pages you have opened and switch sounds you have already played.
- Exactly the same free tools as the website, always up to date. When you are online, the app loads the latest version.

If your browser offers no install option, nothing is missing: every tool works the same in a normal browser tab.
What works offline
The app saves the pages you open and the switch sounds you play on your device. After that, those pages work without a connection, including typing with sound in the simulator for the switches you have already tried. A switch you have never played, or a guide you have never opened, needs a connection the first time. The app keeps a limited number of recent pages and sounds, so the storage it uses stays small.
Privacy
Installing does not create an account or send anything new to us. Your settings, tester progress and game progress stay in your browser, as described in our privacy policy. The app does not ask for access to your microphone, camera, contacts, files or location.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a keyboard simulator app to download?
There is no app store download, and you do not need one. The site can be installed straight from your browser as an app: it gets its own icon and window, opens without the browser toolbar, and keeps working offline for pages you have already opened.
Is the app free?
Yes. The installed app is the same site with the same free tools. There is no account, no payment and no separate version.
Does the app work offline?
Partly. Pages you have opened, and the switch sounds you have already played, are saved on your device and work without a connection. Pages and sounds you have never opened need a connection the first time.
How do I uninstall it?
Like any app on your device. On Android and iPhone, press and hold the icon and remove it. On a computer, open the app, use its menu and choose uninstall, or remove it from your system's app settings. To remove the saved pages and sounds as well, clear this site's data in your browser settings.
Is it safe to install?
The installed app runs inside your browser with the same permissions as the website, and nothing else is installed on your device. It does not ask for access to your files, contacts, microphone or location.
