Typingstats is an application that can keep track of your keyboard usage. It will run on the menubar, from where you can see your average typing speed and the total number of characters that you have typed since the application has been launched for the first time. Your speed is calculated in words per minute or WPM. If you click on the menubar icon, you will be able to access a window with more in-depth stats about your usage.

This window pops up when you click on "More". The statistics are divided into four different tabs: raw stats, graph, achievements, and heatmap. The first tab shows three different stats: total keystrokes, most used key and average typing speed. The graph shows a graphical representation of your typing habits over time. The default view shows information for the current month for all the keys on your keyboard. There is a drop-down menu that you can use to narrow the graph down to show only your keystrokes of a particular key and how they vary over time. The Achievements tab shows a list of achievements for you to complete. There are 9 in total. A few of them are based on your typing speed and you will probably unlock them by simply typing if you are a fast enough typer. The rest consist in typing a specific number of strokes. The hardest achievement requires you to type 5 million keystrokes. They heatmap shows the keys that you use the most. The darkest red keys are those that you use the most. From this window, you can also change application settings and set up an account that you can use to compete with other users via an online leaderboard.
