The typing speed trainer
that lives in your Mac.
Practice in seconds from your menu bar. Track your speed like a fitness metric over months. Your data stays private — no browser tab, no account, no noise.
Available instantly from your menu bar — no browser, no tab
The problem
Typing tools are stuck
in the browser.
People who type all day want to get faster and more accurate — but the tools available are either websites you have to remember to open, or dated apps with no analytics and no craft.
Website you have to remember
Monkeytype is great — but it's a tab. Practice is a context switch, not a habit.
Your data behind a web login
Account-gated history. Your typing data stored on someone else's server, forever.
Dated, shallow, or abandoned
Native Mac typing apps exist — but they're ugly, shallow, or haven't been touched in years.
The solution
Always there
TypeForge lives in your menu bar. Knock out a 15-second rep between meetings without opening a website or leaving your current app. Practice becomes ambient, not a chore.
Speed like a fitness metric
Not just "your last test" — trends over weeks and months, consistency, streaks, per-mode personal bests, weak-key heatmaps. You watch yourself get measurably faster.
Private and yours
Results sync silently across your Macs via iCloud. No account. No server. No login. Privacy is a feature, not a footnote.
Beautiful by design
A premium, distraction-free, first-party-feeling app. The Forge design language: deep graphite, ember accents, motion that rewards real achievements.
Your history comes with you
Switching from Monkeytype? Import your entire history with your Ape Key or a CSV export. Years of data — yours to keep.
