Login

Login is optional. Guest users can use solo practice. Ranked and rooms require a Google account.

On first login, your browser opens for Google OAuth. The app starts a temporary local server on port 54321 to receive the callback — no data is sent anywhere else.

Update

pip install --upgrade termtypo

The app notifies you on startup when a new version is available.
