The touch typing app you buy once
and own for life.
One payment. No subscription, no account, no ads. Typiq is a native desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux that runs fully offline and does no tracking, plus a browser version for Chromebook — and every future update is included.
One app. Three paths to fluency.
Typiq adapts its lessons, tone and tracking to who's typing — a 9-year-old picking up the home row, an adult who finally wants to fix this, or a class of 28 students sharing two computers.
Never learned the home row?
For knowledge workers who type all day with three or four fingers and want to finally fix it. From hunt-and-peck to full sentences in about two weeks of 15-minute sessions.
Screen time that builds a real skill.
Kid-friendly lessons starting at age 7. No ads, no sign-up, no data collection. Works offline on the family computer.
Classroom dashboard — live now.
A teacher dashboard with class codes and per-student progress, with a public demo school you can open in one click. Free 4-week pilot, then €99/year per class or €499/year for the whole school, paid by invoice.
Real-time finger placement, on every keystroke.
Every key has an assigned finger. Typiq shows you the correct finger for the next keystroke in real time, so you build proper touch typing technique from lesson one — not six months in when bad habits are already locked.
-
Color-coded finger zonesPinky, ring, middle, index and thumb each get their own color across the virtual keyboard.
-
F and J tactile markersHome row anchors rendered exactly as your physical keyboard — so what you see is what you feel.
-
Accuracy before speedStars are earned on accuracy alone: 70% opens the next lesson, 95% earns all three.
-
Real words in your languageAfter the three letter rows, lessons move on to words and full sentences in the language you choose.
A typing app that respects your time, your data and your bandwidth.
After one activation, Typiq runs entirely on your device. Lessons and progress stay local. No ads, no pop-ups, no begging for your email.
10 languages, native keyboard layouts.
Each language has its own layout — AZERTY for French, QWERTZ for German, specials for Romanian and Polish. Typiq teaches the correct key positions for every supported language, not a translated-over-QWERTY shortcut.
Norwegian, Danish and Finnish keyboard layouts ship in the app as well — their interface language is English for now.

Never learned to type properly?
You're not alone.
Most people who use a computer all day still hunt-and-peck with three or four fingers. Touch typing isn't a productivity hack — it's the difference between thinking about your fingers and thinking about your ideas. Typiq's lessons go from the home row to full sentences in about two weeks of 15-minute sessions.
- Realistic, not aspirational.Lessons that suit a 35-year-old admin or a 50-year-old who finally wants to fix this.
- Practice anywhere.Works fully offline once installed. Run a session on a flight, in a café with bad wifi, or on a locked-down work laptop.
- No strings attached.30-minute trial without an account. Lifetime license €22.99 if it sticks. 30-day refund.

Tips, research, and honest takes.
A 30-Day Touch-Typing Plan (Built on 26 Real Lessons)
A day-by-day plan that takes you from home row to a full keyboard in 30 days, built on 26 actual lessons, not a marketing number.
Wrist Pain From Typing: Fix the Technique Before Buying Gear
Most wrist pain from typing comes from how your wrists sit, not what you type on. Fix the angle before you buy anything.
Why Am I Still Slow at Typing Even Though I Practice?
Typing practice only works if it targets your actual weak keys. Most practice does not, which is why the number stops moving.
