A study tool for brains that skim
Read by typing.
Remember what you read.
You read the whole thing and remember none of it. Typing through the material keeps your brain locked in long enough to absorb it.
try it free, no signup needed
Passive reading slides right past you. Highlighting, re-reading, another course you never finish. None of it sticks.
TyperFocus makes reading active. You type, so you stay.
Pick a topic
Type a subject, paste a link, or drop a PDF. You get a study guide built for it.
Type through it
Instead of skimming, you type the material. The typing anchors your attention so nothing slips by.
It sticks
A quick check confirms what landed. You track what you remember, not how fast you type.
Built for your brain, not against it
Neurodivergent-first. Accessibility is the design, not a mode you switch on.
Made for ADHD & dyslexia
Chunked text, forgiving input, and typography you can actually read. No penalty for a typo.
Retention over speed
No words-per-minute race. You see what you remember, shown as a Retention Score.
No streaks, no shame
Miss a day and nothing breaks. A calm activity grid, never a guilt trip.
why i built this
TyperFocus started while I was prepping for technical interviews and noticed something strange: the only times I actually retained material were when I typed it out word for word. Not summarizing. Not highlighting. Typing.
The motor act of forming each word seemed to do something that passive reading didn't. So I started building a tool around that observation, and quickly realized the deeper problem.
Nothing in e-learning was designed for neurodivergent minds. Not the pacing. Not the visual density. Not the assumption that you'd sit through a forty-minute video and remember any of it. TyperFocus is the version I wished existed.
