Only for Mac

Mac
Chordal is a typing tutor for macOS. It works offline and supports standard QWERTY along with alternative layouts such as Dvorak, Colemak, Colemak-DH, and Workman.
Lessons start with the basics and build up to full sentences. Chordal measures your speed and accuracy as you type, then shows which keys slow you down so you know where to practice.
Pick your keyboard. Choose a layout and the on-screen keyboard, the lessons, and your stats all switch to match. Choose a physical board too, from full-size and compact ANSI keyboards to split and ortholinear boards like the Corne, Kyria, and Preonic.
See how a layout fits you. Compare Layouts scores each built-in layout against English text, code, or your own typing, measured on the board you use. My Bottlenecks reads your practice history and points to the moves that cost you the most time. Both are part of Chordal Pro.
Chordal also supports one-handed chorded keyboards. If you have a Twiddler 3 or Twiddler 4, export your setup from the Twiddler Tuner and import the .cfg file. The tutor then follows your exact layout. Support for more devices is on the way.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fixes a first-run issue where selecting a standard keyboard could hide the layout list and Start Training button, with no way to scroll to them. Setup now works smoothly on every screen size.
