Show HN: Typing Analyst – Constantly shows typing speed and accuracy on macOS

Hey everyone! As a New Year holiday project, I built out a MacOS tool that constantly measures typing speed and accuracy in the background and displays it on the status bar.

I always used to wonder if my real-life typing speed is similar to how I perform during typing tests on typeracer etc. I looked for tools like this, but could not find anything out there. So, I gave myself a gift this new year by actually creating this app (it only took 2 days - thanks to AI and no thanks to Apple’s poor developer documentation).

It would be great if you could try it out and let me know what you think.
