Features

Play, and the fingers learn.

Small wins, one after another, all the way to typing without looking. Thoughtfully built to keep kids engaged.

A taste of AI-era words

Type words like robot, data, and model — vocabulary kids will meet more and more. No heavy lessons, just familiar words inside typing practice.

34+ lessons, step by step

Home row → top/bottom rows → number row → words → short sentences. 34+ lessons per language, up to an elementary-school level.

Japanese, English, Chinese

Switch anytime in-app. Japanese: read kana (kanji + furigana) and type romaji. Chinese: read 汉字 with pinyin and type pinyin.

Per-finger color keyboard

Color shows which finger to use. Auto-detects your layout (ANSI / ISO / JIS) so the right fingering becomes a habit.

Next key glows + hand guide

The next key glows green, and a two-hands diagram shows exactly which finger — guiding kids naturally toward typing blind.

Spoken target keys

Each key is read aloud, so pre-readers can play too. Pick a voice character, and set the voice language separately.

Friends, themes, confetti

Pick your buddy from 5 — octopus, cat, chick, frog, robot. Five color themes, and confetti on a 3-star clear.

How it grows

At a kid's pace, little by little.

Not whole sentences from day one — one row at a time, starting at the home row. Wins add up, all the way to short sentences.
