Stoic Typist - Typing Trainer

Stoic Typist is a minimalist app to sharpen typing skills with letters, numbers, and symbols. Ideal for writers, programmers, and anyone who types all day. Beginners can also focus and improve quickly.

What is Stoic Typist

Minimalist typing practice app designed to train speed and accuracy with letters, numbers, and symbols. It removes every distraction so you can focus on the keys, and scores each run so you can see where you stand. Stoic Typist is a typing practice tool designed for people who want to train with intention and clarity. Whether you’re a beginner or a developer trying to master symbols and numbers, this app helps you build muscle memory through raw repetition and clear feedback. Everything runs offline. There is no account, no server, and your practice history never leaves your device.

Free and Pro

Stoic Typist is free on the Mac App Store and the Microsoft Store, and free on Linux.

  • Free — practice offline with letters, numbers, and symbols, run timed challenges, and keep your 30 most recent runs.
  • Pro — see your complete history, track speed and accuracy over time, find the keys that slow you down, and export everything as CSV or JSON. One purchase, not a subscription.

If you bought Stoic Typist before it became free, you keep Pro at no extra cost. On Linux, every feature is available at no charge.
