Unlearn bad habits. Train correct finger placement.
Free. No install. Works in your browser. Built for people who can already type.
Most people learn to type by pecking at whatever keys feel closest. Over months and years, those improvised movements harden into muscle memory. You get fast enough to hold a conversation in a chat window, but you hit a ceiling. Your speed plateaus. Errors creep in. Your wrists start aching after long sessions.
The root cause is almost always incorrect finger placement. When your right index finger is doing the work of three fingers, it travels further and faster than it should. When your pinkies sit idle, the keys they should cover force other fingers into awkward stretches. REKEY is built for this situation: you can type, but your technique is holding you back.
Most typing apps target beginners. They start with the home row and assume you've never touched a keyboard. REKEY skips the basics and goes straight to retraining. Every drill is designed to break specific bad habits and replace them with correct finger assignments.
Every key is mapped to the finger that should press it. See your assignments at a glance instead of memorizing charts.
Before every keystroke, the app shows which finger and which shift key to use. Builds correct habits from the first session.
Forces you to type each character correctly before advancing. Breaks the "mash and correct" pattern that reinforces bad habits.
Know exactly which fingers need work. The results screen breaks down accuracy by individual finger, including shift keys.
Six levels per drill category. Start with isolated finger zones and progress to paragraphs with capitals, symbols, and numbers.
Combo counters, streak tracking, WPM stats, and letter grades keep practice sessions competitive and engaging.
REKEY organizes practice into targeted categories. Home Row Lock-In anchors your fingers. Pinky Power-Up strengthens your weakest fingers. Top Row Reach trains upward movement. Bottom Row Dig builds precision below. Number Crunch tackles the number row. And Real World Remix applies correct technique to common words, tech vocabulary, and real sentences.
Each category has six levels: three focused drills, two paragraph-length challenges, and a final level mixing capitals, symbols, numbers, and punctuation.
REKEY is built for intermediate typists - people who produce 30-60 WPM but know their technique isn't right. If you've ever noticed yourself typing "the" with just your index fingers, or reaching across the keyboard with one hand while the other sits idle, REKEY will help you fix those patterns. It's useful for programmers who struggle with symbols, writers who want to reduce fatigue, and anyone who's tried beginner typing courses and found them too basic.
REKEY runs entirely in your browser. No download, no account, no paywall. Scroll up and start typing. Read our blog for in-depth guides on correct finger placement, fixing bad habits, and realistic retraining timelines.
