Spacebar counter, how fast are you?

Pick 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds and press the space bar as fast as you can; the clock starts with your first press. At the end you see how many presses you made, your presses a second, and your best for that length, kept in this browser. On a phone or tablet, tap the big pad instead.

Your scores stay in this browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Simple test

Press, count, beat your best.

Every press counts

Holding the key down does not count; only real presses do.

03 / Best

Kept for each length

Your best for 5, 10, 30 and 60 seconds is saved in this browser.
