Extension v1.1.2Last updated: August 2, 2026

Getting started

  1. Open the extension from the Chrome toolbar.
  2. Choose your learning level during first-time setup.
  3. Complete beginners should select Complete beginner and start Lesson 1.
  4. Returning learners can continue the current lesson or open quick practice.

Use the beginner course

The beginner course contains 24 progressive lessons. It begins with F and J, expands across the home row, and then introduces upper-row keys, lower-row keys, words, capitals, numbers, and punctuation.

  • Press the highlighted key with the highlighted finger.
  • An incorrect key counts as an error and does not advance the exercise.
  • Reach the lesson’s accuracy target to unlock the next lesson.
  • Your current lesson and completion state are saved locally.

Start quick practice

Choose a 1-minute or 3-minute session from the popup. The practice page displays WPM, accuracy, errors, time, and text completion.

Use Pause when interrupted. Paused and inactive time is not counted. Restart resets the current exercise, and Finish saves the completed result.

Practice text selected on a webpage

  1. Select readable text on a normal webpage.
  2. Right-click the selected text.
  3. Choose Practice typing selected text.
  4. The extension opens a local practice session containing that text.
Privacy note: text is accessed only after you deliberately use this command. The extension has no host permissions and does not continuously read webpages.

Daily goals and streaks

Your daily practice goal is measured in minutes. Lesson and quick-practice activity can contribute to the goal. A streak increases when the daily goal is completed on consecutive days.

Optional practice reminders

Reminders are off by default. Enable one in settings, choose a time, and allow Chrome notifications. You can disable reminders again at any time.

Settings, progress, and reset

Use the settings button in the popup to change level, daily goal, reminder time, and appearance. Course progress and practice history are stored in the Chrome profile where the extension is installed.

Reset controls permanently remove the selected local progress. This action cannot be undone.
