How it works

A lesson that happens while you work

No course, no separate practice site required. The teaching lives on your screen.

1

The keyboard follows where you write

A visual guide places itself next to your text field, follows the app you are in, and shows the right finger the moment you need it.

2

Press. Light. Next.

While you type, each key lights up in its finger color and the next key pulses, so your eyes never need to leave the screen.

3

Never in your way

The overlay is transparent and fully click-through, with adjustable opacity, scale, per-app position, snooze and app exclusions.

Eyes up

Look at your screen, not your keyboard

Most people learn by glancing down at their hands. Tactomo turns that around: the right finger for every key is shown right where you are writing, so your eyes stay on the words while your fingers learn the way.

  • No looking down to find a key
  • The finger for each key, live on the screen
  • Works in the apps you already use
UP TO3×

Over time, you can write up to 3× as fast.

Do you know how much time you save by not correcting all the time? Every typo and backspace costs you time. Learn the right finger for each key and spend less time correcting mistakes.

A little slower before it feels natural.

While you relearn, you will type a little slower. Give your fingers time to learn the new movements. Progress depends on your starting point and how regularly you practice.

Illustration. How fast you get depends on how much you practice.

Finger by finger

Every key has a finger.
Watch it happen, slowly.

This is the keyboard the app draws on your Mac, with its real hands. Each key lights up in the colour of the finger that owns it, and the hand shows you the way.

  • Home row first, then one row at a time
  • The finger is named the moment it presses
  • Same hands, same keyboard as on your Mac

Overlay behavior

Designed to disappear into your workflow

  • Click-through & transparent

    Clicks go straight through to your work. Opacity 30-100%, scale 50-200%.

  • Follows your writing

    Tracks the focused text field and remembers a position per app. Works across Spaces and monitors.

  • Global hotkey

    Toggle with ⌃⌥⌘K from anywhere. Edit mode with ⌘⇧E to drag it exactly where you want.

  • Snooze & exclusions

    Snooze for 1-60 minutes or until tomorrow. Exclude games, video players, password fields.

  • Modifier pop-up

    Keep it hidden and let it appear only while you hold ⌘, ⌥ or ⌃.

  • Light on the battery

    A performance profile balances render quality and CPU. Idle animations stay out of your fans.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is Tactomo?

Tactomo is a macOS app that floats a live, beautifully rendered keyboard on your screen while you type. It highlights the exact key you press and the finger you should use, so you learn ten-finger touch typing inside the apps you already use, like email, chat, code and documents, instead of in a separate typing website.

How is this different from typing websites like Monkeytype or TypingClub?

Typing websites train you inside their own page. Tactomo trains you everywhere: it is a transparent, click-through overlay that follows the app you are in, shows animated hands with the correct finger in real time, and measures your speed as you do real work. It also includes a full practice suite (games, drills, tests) when you want focused sessions.

Does it work in every app?

Yes. The overlay is a frameless always-on-top window that works across Spaces and full-screen apps. You can exclude specific apps, snooze it, move and scale it freely, and it never steals your clicks. The window is fully click-through.

Which keyboard layouts are supported?

The app detects your physical keyboard form automatically: ANSI (US), ISO (European) with the L-shaped Enter, and JIS (Japanese) with ¥, ろ and 英数/かな keys. Finger zones are mapped for Norwegian and US English logical layouts, and native key labels are rendered for Korean Hangul (두벌식), Japanese Kana and Taiwanese Zhuyin (注音) input sources.

What does it cost?

Tactomo is a paid app for macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer. Try it free for 7 days, then it is 249 NOK, $26.99 or €23.99 once, including applicable taxes, with no subscription. There is no account and no tracking. If it is not for you, email within 14 days and you get a refund.

Why does it need Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions?

Input Monitoring lets the app see which physical keys you press so it can light up the right key and finger. Accessibility lets it find the text field you are typing in so the overlay and speed counter can follow your work. Everything is processed locally on your Mac. No keystrokes ever leave your machine.

Can it teach me app shortcuts too?

Yes. With app-aware shortcut profiles (Affinity, with Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro and Notion profiles in progress), holding a modifier shows that app's real shortcuts on the keys, a corner "shortcut pocket" card, mouse-gesture hints like ⌥-drag to duplicate, and a tool focus bar for tool-specific hints.

Does it track my typing speed?

A floating speedometer window shows live WPM or CPM with your session best, and the practice suite records XP, levels, streaks, badges, per-key accuracy, weak-key heatmaps and progress toward your target speed with an estimated time to reach it.

Which languages is the interface available in?

The interface is localized into 23 languages: English, Norwegian Bokmål, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Czech, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian and Vietnamese.

Is my data private?

Yes. Key events are used only to render the overlay and compute your statistics, and they never leave your Mac. The only things the app sends are your license key, to confirm your purchase, and a daily request for updates. No analytics, no crash reports, no telemetry. The privacy policy lists everything.

How do updates work?

The app checks for a new version about once a day and offers to install it in place, with release notes. You can also check any time from the menu bar. All updates to version 1 are included in the price.

Can I use it on more than one Mac, or move to a new one?

Your license works on up to 2 Macs at the same time. Before you sell or wipe a Mac, choose "Release this Mac" in the license window, or remove it in the purchase portal, and the key is free for the next one. Lost the key? The purchase portal emails it to you.
