Learn typing
the fun way.

Yes, 100% free. No signup, no premium tier, no ads, and no in-app purchases. Every feature is available right away. Grown-ups who find it useful can leave an optional tip.

No. Progress is saved in your browser's local storage on your own device. It is only uploaded if you choose to make a save code, and save codes never hold a name or contact details. There are no accounts, no ads, and no tracking cookies. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first tool that doesn't use cookies or track individuals, to count page visits. The only thing ever sent to us is feedback you choose to send, with a short summary of progress levels and never a child's name. See our privacy policy.

TypePets is designed for kids ages 7–12 who are learning to touch type. Lessons start with just a few home-row keys, so younger beginners can keep up, and later stages and games give more confident typists a real challenge.

Yes. Up to four kids can each have their own profile on the same browser, with their own pet, progress, and stats. Switch profiles inside the app. No emails or passwords are needed.

Progress is stored in the browser on that device, so clearing browsing data or moving to a different computer starts fresh. To keep it safe, get a save code on the Stats page: a short code like TIGER-427-MOON. Type it on the Home page of any computer to pick up where you left off; after that, progress saves to the code by itself. Prefer to keep a copy yourself? Download a Pet Passport backup file instead.

Yes. TypePets runs in Chrome with nothing to install, so it works on home and school Chromebooks. Chromebook keyboards have a Search or Launcher key where Caps Lock usually is and a row of shortcut keys instead of F1–F12, which doesn't get in the way of letter practice. If a school Chromebook clears data when students sign out, use a Pet Passport code to carry progress between sessions. More in our Chromebook typing guide.

Yes. TypePets works on iPads and other tablets: tap the typing area to bring up the on-screen keyboard. For learning touch typing, a physical keyboard is best (a keyboard case or an inexpensive Bluetooth keyboard works well), because kids need to feel the keys and the bumps on F and J.

Yes. The Stats dashboard shows speed and accuracy over time, which keys are trickiest, and badges earned. You can also print a one-page progress report with practice minutes, speed and accuracy trends, weakest keys, and completed lessons, plus certificates for finished training stages, Bubble Pop levels, and articles.

No. There are no student accounts and TypePets never collects student names, so there is nothing to roster. Students on shared Chromebooks can carry their progress with a save code, which holds typing progress only. Teachers can share a classroom link that opens a specific lesson with a timer, for example https://typepets.com/pages/training.html?stage=1&min=10 opens Stage 1 with a 10-minute countdown. See For teachers to build one.

For now, TypePets supports the QWERTY keyboard layout and English practice text only. Other layouts such as AZERTY, QWERTZ, or Dvorak, and other languages, aren't supported yet.

Every practice session earns XP. Your pet starts as an egg and evolves through 6 stages: Egg, Baby, Kid, Teen, Adult, and Master. Pets also get hungry, and the food to feed them is earned by practicing, so the pet only grows when your child actually types. There is nothing to buy.

10–15 minutes a day is plenty for most kids aged 7–12. Short daily sessions build muscle memory faster than one long session a week. You can set a daily goal in the app, and a streak freeze keeps one off day from breaking a streak. See typing goals by grade for realistic targets.
