No ads. No "click to upgrade" pop-ups. No random characters collecting coins. Typiq Kids teaches proper home-row technique through 9 carefully designed games across 3 age groups (6-8, 9-11, 12-14).
Stored locally on your computer — no cloud account, no email, no login.
Each path follows the same progression — home row → top/bottom rows → numbers → punctuation → fluency — with different games, vocabulary and pacing per age. You pick the path when you create your kid's profile.
Typiq Kids is a desktop app. Progress lives on the same computer your kid practices on — there's no account to log into, no email reports, no central server tracking your child. The app shows WPM, accuracy and stars right after every session. Sit next to your kid for two minutes a week and you've seen everything a dashboard would have shown you.
Lessons, progress and games stored on the install. Works offline forever after the first activation.
Kids cannot see other kids. No leaderboards. No strangers. Ever.
Create one profile per child on the same install. Each picks their own age group and keeps their own progress.
Not even "educational" ones.
No currency to collect, no premium characters.
Kids can't chat, follow, or see each other.
Miss a day? Nothing bad happens. Come back when ready.
Around 6, once they can read short words. Typiq starts with visual letter-matching before asking them to type — so even pre-readers can begin, and the app scales up as they go.
We recommend 10 minutes per day, 4–5 days a week. Research shows short daily sessions beat long weekend crams for motor-skill learning. The app doesn't enforce a timer — that's up to you.
Typiq works on iPad + Bluetooth keyboard, Chromebook, PC, and Mac. It does NOT work on phones or without a physical keyboard — touch typing needs real keys.
Yes. Typiq is a desktop app — your kid's progress is stored locally on your computer, not in any cloud. No behavioral advertising, no data sold to third parties, no chat, no social network. See our privacy policy.
