- Mac users who want a playful typing companion
- Worth noticing
- Random-key mode can obscure screen-share typing; macOS password fields suppress the animation.
Field notes
The overlay can be limited to selected apps, hidden with a keyboard shortcut, or controlled from the menu bar. The FAQ says sheets remain in a Library on the Mac and can be exported as PDFs; it also specifies macOS 14 Sonoma or later and describes a seven-day trial before a one-time purchase.
