A clean, minimal, fully-terminal typing test — inspired by Monkeytype, built for people who love the terminal.

Termitype focuses on:

  • a refined terminal UI
  • extensibility through adapters (macOS, Linux, Windows/PowerShell)
  • portability with zero external frameworks
  • a simple, fast typing experience

Features

✔ Minimal, beautiful terminal UI

A clean interface built specifically for terminal environments.
Fully adjustable width and height via settings.

✔ Real-time typing test

  • Randomized words
  • Accurate cursor simulation
  • Inline mistake highlighting
  • Previous, current, and next words clearly spaced

✔ Settings screen with full-text search

Settings are now searchable: type to filter options instantly.

✔ End-of-run results screen

Shows:

  • WPM
  • Accuracy
  • Duration
  • A diff-style view comparing typed vs expected text

✔ Adapter-based architecture

All OS-specific terminal behavior (cursor movement, color support, input handling) is abstracted.
Termitype works equally well on:

  • macOS (Terminal, iTerm2) (implemented)
  • Linux (not implemented)
  • Windows Terminal / PowerShell (not implemented)

✔ Persistent run storage

Store:

  • WPM
  • accuracy
  • date/time
  • detailed statistics
  • settings used for the run

✔ Stats dashboard

A new analytics-driven screen:

  • WPM personal best
  • rolling averages
  • lifetime totals

Roadmap

🔜 Color schemes

Easy to change themes to customize the look.


Philosophy

Termitype is designed to be:

  • fast — instant, frictionless startup
  • portable — independent of terminal quirks, without frameworks
  • extensible — clean architecture, easy to add new screens
  • pleasant — polished UI details without complexity
