Monkeytype is a typing test that strips away everything except the text and your fingers. There are no ads, no pop-ups, and no unnecessary features. You choose a time limit or word count, start typing, and see your speed and accuracy in real time. The site tracks your progress over time and shows charts of your improvement, which makes practice feel more like a game than a chore.

It supports multiple languages, different keyboard layouts, and various text sources including quotes, code, and custom word lists. The interface is clean and adjustable, with themes and sound options if you want them. For developers who type all day and want to get faster, or anyone who wants a small daily challenge, it is a well-designed tool that does one thing properly.
