wpmx

A minimal, fast typing test for the terminal. Built with Bun, React, and Ink.

Features

• Character-level feedback — correct chars in green, errors in red
• Personal best tracking with local history
• Vim-style navigation — h/l to pick duration

or with Bun:

bunx wpmx

Install globally

npm install -g wpmx

Then run it anywhere:

How it works

Type the words as fast as you can. Errors are highlighted per-character so you can see exactly what you missed. Your WPM and accuracy are calculated at the end.

Results are saved locally at ~/.wpmx/history.json.
