Type to fight.

A stickman fighting game you play on your keyboard. Every word you type lands a hit. Every typo costs you. The Kata drills the keys you miss.

Coming to the App Store

iPhone and iPad, iOS 26

How it works

Words are strikes. Typos are hits you take.

Type the word

Finish it and your stickman lands a punch. String words together and the combo climbs, and so does the damage. No return key, no space needed.

Miss a key, take a hit

A typo breaks the combo and costs you health. Wait too long and the opponent lands one anyway. Accuracy first; speed comes free.

Nine belts, 27 opponents

From white to black. Each belt hits faster and draws from a bigger word pool. Beat the third opponent and the belt is yours.

Kata: your weak keys, drilled

Typekata keeps per-key accuracy and speed. The Kata builds a fight out of the letters you miss most, so the training aims where it matters.

After the bell

See exactly where it went wrong.

Three numbers

Words a minute, accuracy and best combo, every fight. Personal bests on the Home screen.

A keyboard heat map

Every key coloured by how often you miss it, for this fight and for all time.

Plain notes

What the numbers say, in words: where the combo broke, which keys cost you, what one change would do.

A coach, on device

With Apple Intelligence, a short note after each fight: three specific tips and a Kata prescription. Optional; the numbers never depend on it.

Private by design

Nothing you type leaves the device.

No networking code

Typekata contains no URLSession, no analytics and no third-party SDK. There is nowhere for your keystrokes to go.

Judged and forgotten

What you type in a fight is compared to the word and dropped. Only your scores and per-key stats are kept, on your device.

No account

Nothing to sign up for. Open it and fight.

Data Not Collected

The App Store privacy label says it because the code makes it true.

Questions

The short answers.

Do I need a hardware keyboard?

No. On iPhone you fight on the system keyboard with your thumbs. On iPad a Magic Keyboard or any Bluetooth keyboard works too, and the fight fills the screen when one is attached.

Does it turn off autocorrect?

Yes. Autocorrect, predictions and smart punctuation are off in a fight, so what you press is what the fight judges.

Does it need Apple Intelligence?

No. The coach note uses it when it is available. Fights, belts, stats and the heat map work on every iPhone and iPad running iOS 26.

Is it free?

Yes. No ads, no purchases, no account.
