About

Made for one 12‑year‑old, now shared.

Kiwi Type is a calm touch-typing course for children and grown-ups. Here is who makes it, and why.

Why I built it

I noticed my 12-year-old typing with two fingers and a thumb, staring at the keyboard the whole time. I wanted her to learn properly, in small steps, so I built Kiwi Type for her.

She liked it so much that she shared it with her friends. They are now on their typing journey together.

Kiwi Type is made by a small, independent team, and we build it first for families and schools in Australia and New Zealand.

What we believe

Typing is learned in small, clean steps, so lessons use real words from the start.
Accuracy comes first. Speed follows.
No ads, no countdowns and no chat. Stars and medals reward careful typing, and streaks come with rest days.

Accessibility today

Choose "Always reduce motion" in Settings, under Motion and look, or let it follow your device.
Controls show a focus ring when you use the keyboard.
Sound effects and music can each be turned off, and a mute button on the lesson screen turns everything off with one click.
