Pick your path

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.

For Schools

Classroom dashboard — coming 2026.

A teacher dashboard with class codes, per-student progress and PO/invoice billing is in development. We're opening a pilot program before paid school licenses go on sale.

For Adults

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.

Kid-friendly lessons starting at age 7. No ads, no sign-up, no data collection. Works offline on the family computer.

The Typiq method

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 zones
    Pinky, ring, middle, index and thumb each get their own color across the virtual keyboard.
  • F and J tactile markers
    Home row anchors rendered exactly as your physical keyboard — so what you see is what you feel.
  • Accuracy-first progression
    Speed unlocks when accuracy crosses 95%. No shortcut to bad habits.
  • Adaptive drills
    The keys you miss get repeated 3× more often than the keys you nail.

Native layouts

8 languages, 8 real keyboard layouts.

Each language has its own layout — AZERTY for French, QWERTZ for German, specials for Romanian and Greek. Typiq teaches the correct key positions for every supported language, not a translated-over-QWERTY shortcut.

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.

FAQ

Common questions, answered.

Don't see yours? Email support →

Does Typiq work offline?

Yes. After a one-time activation, Typiq runs fully offline on Mac, Windows and Linux. All lessons, progress tracking and adaptive drills work without internet. Ideal for classrooms with patchy wifi, travel, or school labs with blocked domains.

How much does Typiq cost?

Personal lifetime license: €18.99 (one-time, paid through Stripe). Includes a 30-minute trial with no credit card required. School licensing is in development — see the pilot waitlist if you teach a class.

Does Typiq work on Mac?

Yes. Typiq runs natively on macOS 11 Big Sur and later, with Apple Silicon and Intel support. It also runs on Windows 10/11 and Linux (any x64). One Personal license covers one device.

How is Typiq different from TypingMaster or TypingClub?

Unlike TypingMaster, Typiq runs on Mac and Linux too — not just Windows. Unlike TypingClub, Typiq works fully offline and is ad-free. One €18.99 payment covers the Personal plan for life; no subscription.

Is Typiq good for kids?

Yes. Typiq's curriculum is designed for learners from age 7. It has no ads, no social features, no data collection, and no internet requirement. Many parents and homeschoolers use it as a weekly 10-minute practice.

What languages and keyboard layouts are supported?

English (QWERTY), Romanian, German (QWERTZ), French (AZERTY), Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Greek — each with its native layout and special characters taught explicitly.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes. 30-day money-back guarantee on all plans. Email sibstil@gmail.com and we refund, no questions asked.

Can I use Typiq in my school?

The personal app already runs on any school computer for €18.99 per device (lifetime). The classroom-management piece — teacher dashboard, class codes, per-student progress, invoicing in EUR/RON — is in active development. Join the pilot waitlist to get early access and shape the priorities.
