Instead of Touch Typer
Touch Typer alternatives
Touch Typer turns deliberate desktop practice into measurable typing progress. It tracks WPM and accuracy over time, maps performance by key, and supports QWERTY, Dvorak, and Colemak layouts. Its free plan covers core tests, stats, streaks, multiple layouts, and live 60-second duels that friends can join by link. Code Mode adds syntax-highlighted practice for TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, and more. Premium adds an AI Coach, targeted drills, AI insights, and weekly streak freezes. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with paid access from $2.39 per month when billed yearly.

An alternative may fit better if you prefer browser or phone access, classroom tools, game-based lessons, custom text, or a completely free program. Compare how each tutor teaches, tracks progress, and handles layouts or languages. Check whether you need adaptive exercises, teacher reporting, local text imports, or public rankings. Platform limits can also decide the switch: some choices are web-based, some omit Linux, and one desktop download no longer supports newer macOS versions.
