About this test

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.

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.
