Many typing practice tools require a web browser or complex setup. typer lives in your terminal, so it:

  • Does not need internet after you download it.
  • Works on most computers with Python installed.
  • Offers a simple, clean interface without ads or clutter.
  • Lets you focus on your typing without distractions.

It mimics the style of monkeytype—a popular online tool—but runs locally in your terminal.
