ttytype
A keyboard-first terminal typing test built with Textual. Run word-count, timed, public-domain quote, and private custom-text tests without accounts, telemetry, or network access.
Highlights
- Live raw and net WPM, accuracy, time, progress, and error feedback.
- Word, timed, quote, and custom-text modes.
- Responsive dark and light interfaces with redundant non-color cues.
- Optional local SQLite history, recent results, and personal bests.
- Keyboard-first operation on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Quick start
ttytype requires Python 3.14 or newer. Install it from PyPI with uv or pipx:
uv tool install ttytype
# or
pipx install ttytype
Then launch it:
ttytype

Privacy
ttytype is local-only. It has no accounts, networking, synchronization, telemetry, or analytics. Optional history stores aggregate scores and chart samples, never target text, typed text, custom text, or individual keystrokes. Read the full privacy documentation.
