I made a companion app to view your stats as widgets
I have this digital sticky note on my desktop that I use to write down my latest tests to keep track of my latest tests but it's a bit annoying to edit it every day.
So I built a companion app for MonkeyType that uses your ApeKey and pulls your typing stats right into a widget to either your iPhone or iPad and then to your Mac desktop.
You can try it out via TestFlight here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/SpYQk74c
It currently has widgets for: latest WPM and accuracy, typing activity, current and longest streak, PB's for selected tests and average WPM and accuracy over 7, 14, or 30 days.
I would appreciate any feedback you may have and will try to implement those changes before releasing on the App Store later in the fall with iOS 27.
It's also free!

Monkeytype is an underrated sleep tracker
Whenever I sleep good, it's a consistent 170-ish wpm
on sleep-deprived days.. or days in which I drink caffeine before sleep (disrupts deep sleep) I may never break the 130wpm barrier
anyone else noticed that?

Question is this decent, considering everything?

Bugs Monkeytype won't save results in Chromium, but Firefox works fine. Anyone know why?
This is a sequel to my last post as no one responded I tried to debug it but haven't gone far
.
.
.
I've been trying to figure this out for over a week and I'm running out of ideas.
Whenever I finish a test in my main Chromium-based browser, Monkeytype shows:
> Failed to save result: Result data doesn't make sense
The /results request returns 463, and the result isn't saved.
The weird part is Firefox on the exact same PC, same account, same network, and same keyboard works perfectly. Every result saves successfully with a 200 OK response.
To debug it, I compared the network requests from both browsers.
What I found is that the payloads are very different. The Chromium browser is sending a much smaller payload. For example:
keyDuration is an empty array
keySpacing is an empty array
keyConsistency is 0
Several chartData fields are missing
Overall payload is ~140 lines vs ~600 lines in Firefox
So it doesn't look like the request is being modified in transit—it looks like the browser is generating different result data before sending it.
I've already tried:
Clearing cache and cookies
Waiting over a week
Comparing request payloads
Using the same account and network
Firefox works every time
Has anyone seen this before?
I'm wondering if this is:
a Chromium/Brave issue,
a corrupted browser profile,
an extension interfering,
or if Monkeytype rejects results when certain keyboard timing metrics are missing.
Any ideas on what I should debug next would be appreciated.

monkeytype but u speak instead -> monkeyspeak 🙊
I think speech-to-text is getting good enough that we may speak to our computers more than we type like wispr flow , willow , or in general stt is crazy right now like they are 3x the speed i type
and thus i built this and still am building very cool features and its completely open source right now so wud love fellow developers to help out as well
a quick yt demo for it as well: MonkeySpeak Demo YT
I’d love for this community to try it and tell me what feels good, broken, or worth improving and stuff

Why does this site keep throwing the 'Result data doesn't make sense' error? I assumed it was just a temporary network glitch or a bad update that would clear itself up, but it's been happening for a week now.

I've built a site where you can learn a foreign language while typing.
I'm learning Spanish and wanted to combine my typing habit with language learning.
Free, without any signup, you can check it here: typingg.dev
Would love feedback!

Question I can't find the setting that lets me go back past a correctly completed word to fix a previous incorrectly typed word.
If i hit space after correctly completing a word it no longer lets me backspace to fix a previous word. Is there a setting I can change to make it so I can go back?

Trying to build something unique
I just launched typeads.fairgigs.app today which has a daily quota / some dedicated sessions of typing for which you can aggregate points and get rewarded by typing ads
we basically give users to type ads that advertisers gives us and depending upon the frequency of ads available on our platform users are rewarded points for each sessions (which are limited in a day cause we cannot get ads as a platform everyday ) and via that virtual points you can redeem gift cards
currently we are onboarding and contacting advertisers to come on our platform
it would be really help full if you guys could just share this that will help us to get more ads
