KeyZen is an open-source typing studio for people who want to feel their fingers improve. No accounts, no ads, no nonsense — just clean text, honest numbers, and a calm interface that gets out of your way.
Ten switches, ten personalities. Tap one to sample its voice.
Every mode is a different kind of pressure — pick the one that matches the rhythm you want to train today.
Race a stopwatch. 15s, 30s, 60s, 120s — pick a window and hit it.
Fixed word count. Cleanest way to compare runs over time.
Real syntax in JS, Py, Rust, Go, SQL, Ruby, PHP and more.
No timer, no metrics, no judgement. Just text and breath.
Curated long-form passages from books worth re-reading.
Paste your own text. Train on what you actually write.
Train with accents, native scripts, mixed-language phrases, and the real text your international audience actually types.
KeyZen tracks raw speed, net WPM, accuracy, error decay, and consistency — the signals that actually predict whether you'll be faster next month.
A simple cycle is what makes practice stick. Show up, type, read the numbers, come back tomorrow.
Choose the pressure: time, words, code, quote, custom, or zen.
The interface gets quiet so your hands can do the honest work.
Raw speed, net WPM, accuracy, consistency, and errors separate noise from progress.
Come back with one target. The loop compounds because the graph remembers.
The short version: open it, type, read the signal, repeat.
KeyZen is free to use with no sign-up wall, ads, or trial lock. The code is public under MIT license, so you can audit it, fork it, and build your own version.
You can train with timed tests, word-count tests, quotes, zen mode, code drills, or your own custom text. Results include WPM, raw speed, accuracy, consistency, character breakdown, and a WPM-over-time chart.
KeyZen mirrors real key presses and highlights keys live on desktop layouts. You can switch keyboard styles (mechanical or magic) and practice with a visual board that responds in real time while you type.
Audio feedback is built in with separate toggles for keyboard sounds and click sounds. There are multiple switch-inspired sound packs, plus optional haptics on supported devices. If sound feels muted at first, one click or keypress usually unlocks audio in the browser.
Yes. KeyZen ships with a broad language manifest (including RTL scripts like Arabic, Urdu, Persian, and Hebrew), plus built-in code passages across popular stacks such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, SQL, and more.
Everything runs through GitHub: open issues for bugs/features and submit pull requests for fixes. KeyZen is created and maintained by Suryanshu Nabheet. View repository · Open an issue
KeyZen stores your local preferences in your browser (for example theme, keyboard/sound toggles, and related settings) so your setup persists between sessions. It also uses Google Analytics for anonymous usage signals like speed, accuracy, and feature usage to improve product decisions and fix issues faster, without collecting personal identity data.
No. KeyZen is an independent hobby project inspired by Monkeytype's clean UX pattern, with its own implementation, features, and open-source roadmap.
No login, no card. Open KeyZen, take a breath, and let the first 30 seconds tell you what to practice next.
