About SmartType
What is SmartType
SmartType is a professional typing practice tool with a SaaS-style, immersion-focused design. It offers three modes — Hacking, Coding, and Typing — so you can practice with real-feeling code and text instead of throwaway sample sentences.
Why it exists
Most typing games look like a kids' toy — flashy, gimmicky, not something you'd want open at your desk. SmartType is built to look and feel like the professional tools you already use every day, so practicing your typing speed doesn't feel out of place.
Who's behind it
SmartType is designed and built by Hisashi Kobayashi, an independent developer based in Japan. It's a solo project, not a company product — feedback and bug reports go straight to the person who wrote the code. See the Contact page to get in touch.
