Typing Mill is a hardcore typing trainer. No lessons to sit through, no account, no ads, no clock counting down. You open it and you type. An endless mill of real English words scrolls toward you, one character at a time. Hit the right key and the word advances. Miss and nothing moves. That is the whole loop, and it is enough. FOUR LEVELS, FINGER BY FINGER Each level adds the keys another pair of fingers reaches, and every word is built only from the keys unlocked so far: 1 — index fingers: r f v t g b y h n u j m 2 — middle fingers: e d c i k 3 — ring fingers: w s x o l 4 — little fingers: q a z p Level 1 draws on 137 words. Level 4 draws on 9,894. Real words, not random letters, so your hands learn English rather than noise. Change level whenever you like — one tap, no menu, no progress to lose. A BACKGROUND THAT ANSWERS YOU The animation behind the words reacts to the key you are on, how fast you are going and which level you are running. If you would rather have plain black, switch it off with the button in the corner. MAC, IPHONE AND IPAD On Mac it is full screen and your own keyboard, with nothing between you and the mill. On iPhone and iPad the keyboard stays up and the words scroll above it. One purchase covers all three. NO ACCOUNT, NO CLOUD, NO SUBSCRIPTION Nothing is collected, nothing is uploaded, nothing expires. Buy it once and it is yours.
