What keybr is

Keybr is a free web application for learning touch typing and improving typing speed. It tracks keystrokes and calculates statistics for each key, then uses those measurements to generate practice words focused on weaker keys. Lessons begin with a small set of common letters; once you reach the target speed for that set, additional letters are introduced. You can set a typing-speed target, track progress, and view graphs on your profile page. Keybr can estimate how many more lessons may be needed to reach the chosen speed, and it offers multiple practice modes and configuration options. Its help guidance recommends placing fingers on the home row, with index fingers on the raised F and J keys. The project is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0. Its repository includes Docker and Docker Compose files, plus instructions for running a local instance. The project also invites bug reports, feature suggestions, translation contributions, and participation in its Discord server.
