Typing Warmup
Warm up your hands and your focus before deep work with a quick typing test. Type the words as they appear and get real-time WPM, accuracy, and character-level feedback over 15, 30, or 60-second bursts.

How it works
- 01Choose 15, 30, or 60 seconds and an open, perfect-word, precision, or WPM challenge.
- 02Type your first letter to start the clock. Press Space or Enter to submit each word.
- 03Build your flow meter with perfect words and watch your WPM and accuracy update live.
- 04Review your result, race a replay of your completed run on the same passage, or practise just your missed words.
Benefits
- Warms up fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
- Builds an easy daily focus-priming ritual
- Tracks WPM and accuracy so you can see progress
- Short bursts fit into any pre-work routine
The science
Brief motor warm-ups prime the sensorimotor system, and a short, measurable task creates an on-ramp to focus — easing you past the friction of getting started.
Frequently asked questions
How is WPM calculated?+
Words per minute is based on the standard of five characters per word, scaled to a full minute and adjusted for accuracy, so faster typing with errors does not inflate your score.
How do ghosts and challenges work?+
A full timed run creates a ghost for that duration. Race it on the same passage with a second cursor replaying your actual timing, or try a perfect-word streak, a 30-second precision challenge, or beating your previous WPM. Runs stay in memory while the warmup is open and clear when you leave or reload.
Can I adjust sound and motion?+
Sound starts off. Choose Soft, Wood, or Glass for optional keystroke feedback. Reduced motion removes cursor smoothing, word-settle animations, and milestone ripples; your device’s reduced-motion preference is also respected.
Does it work on mobile?+
Yes — tap the test area to bring up your keyboard, though a physical keyboard gives the most accurate WPM.
