🛡️ Why parents trust TotType
Grows with your child
One platform from the first keyboard mash at age one to real sentence-typing by eight — 22 learning games that level up as they do.
No tracking of your child
A parent email and subscription state only — never your child's name, photo, or birthday.
Built for pre-readers
18 of the 22 learning games are voice-narrated, so a child who can't read yet can play — and learn — largely on their own.
Ads that stay outside
Ads sit below the play area, never inside a game, and are contextual only — never personalised to a child.
Original art
Our own characters and music. No knock-off mascots, no licensed cartoon tie-ins pushing something else.

💬 What families say
““TotType does a great job combining learning with the kind of arcade games kids already enjoy. My daughter’s typing speed and confidence have improved noticeably.””
““Simple to use, fun for the kids, and actually educational. I especially like being able to see progress instead of just putting them in front of another online game.””
““With so many games to choose from, my kids don’t get bored. They’re practicing typing without even realizing how much they’re learning. TotType has become part of our weekly routine.””
““My son thinks he’s just playing games, but I can see how much faster and more confident he’s becoming on the keyboard. It’s a win for both of us!””
““We tried several typing programs, but TotType was the first one that really kept our kids interested. They love unlocking and playing the arcade games, and I love that they’re improving their typing skills at the same time.””
““TotType has completely changed how my child feels about typing practice. Instead of complaining about lessons, they actually ask if they can play TotType after school. The games make learning feel fun instead of like homework.””
❓ Common questions
What does my child actually learn?
Counting from 1 to 10 and first words on the free tier. Letter recognition, phonics, sight-word typing, and basic keyboard fluency on the Family plan. Music ear-training, visual memory, and vocabulary plus reading comprehension on Family Plus. 18 of the 22 learning games are voice-narrated, so pre-readers can play independently.
What ages are these for?
The free learning games suit ages 1–4, plus two free multiplayer races for ages 2–8. Family extends to age 6, and Family Plus to age 8. Each tile on /games is age-tagged so you can pick the right starting point for your child.
Is it safe to hand to my child?
Yes. The page goes fullscreen and locks the keyboard so a curious key-masher can’t exit or open other apps (Chrome / Edge). Hold Esc 3 seconds (desktop) or three fingers 3 seconds (mobile) to exit. A few OS-level keys — PrintScreen, Cmd+Q on Mac, and the Windows key — are intercepted by the operating system before the browser sees them and can’t be blocked; everything else is.
Do you collect data on my child?
No. The free games store nothing. The paid tier stores progress (time played, accuracy, milestones) under your parent account — never under a child profile with personally identifiable information.
Why a subscription?
One-time apps go stale. A subscription funds a steady cadence of new games, themes, and lessons — about one of each per month. If we slow down, you cancel.
Will the free games stay free?
Forever. They’re how parents find us. We won’t add time limits or paywalls to them. Ads help keep them free — they sit below the play area, never inside a game, and are never personalised to a child.
