TARGET-SPEED TYPING TRAINER · MAC · IPHONE · IPAD · $0.99
Pick the speed you want to type at. kb trains you to it, one key at a time.
Set a target speed and practice the keys that are holding you back. Each new letter unlocks once you can type the current set at your goal, so the lessons follow your progress rather than a fixed schedule.
One $0.99 purchase covers Mac, iPhone, and iPad through the App Store.
HOW IT WORKS
Each key moves from red to green as you get faster.
kb times every keystroke against your target and shows the result on the keyboard itself, so you can always see which keys need work.
Set a target
Start with the default goal or set a different speed for each lesson type.
Drill the weak key
Practice keeps returning to whichever key is slowest, until you can type it at your goal.
Unlock the next key
New letters appear once every key in the current set has turned green.
WHAT YOU GET
Lessons, tests, and books all count toward the same picture of your typing.
Learn to touch-type from the beginning.
If you have never touch-typed, kb starts you with a handful of keys and finger-zone guidance, then adds letters as you reach your target speed on the ones you have.
Finger zones · letters unlock at your target speed
Bring a new keyboard or layout.
Each keyboard keeps its own progress, organized by layout and geometry, so switching boards starts fresh while your old record stays intact. kb recognizes the keyboard you plug in and switches profiles for you.
15 layouts, QWERTY to BÉPO · ANSI · ISO · Matrix
Check your speed with a timed test.
Run timed or fixed-length tests with live WPM and accuracy, using common words or practice words the app generates on your device in 33 languages.

PROGRESS BY KEYBOARD
Your profile keeps a separate record for every keyboard you use.
Whether you are learning to type or settling into a new board, you can filter your history by language, layout, geometry, and keyboard, and see how each one compares.
ON YOUR MACHINE
Everything runs and stays on your device.
Your per-key speeds, accuracy, practice calendar, daily goals, and full history are stored on your device, and can sync between your Macs, iPhones, and iPads through iCloud if you want them to. The app shows no advertising and never asks you to create an account.
