Question 1

Is Cadence free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cadence is completely free, with no ads and no sign-up. It runs entirely in your web browser.

Question 2

What can I practice with Cadence?

Accepted Answer

Touch-typing lessons from the home row up, real prose passages including literary classics, real source code in TypeScript, Go, Rust, and Zig, and Vim motions in a real modal editor. You can also paste your own text or have a local AI generate a fresh passage.

Question 3

Does Cadence track my data or require an account?

Accepted Answer

No. There are no accounts, no cookies, and no analytics. All your progress is stored locally in your browser's localStorage on your own device.

Question 4

Will practicing code or Vim in Cadence make me a faster typist?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cadence is a touch-typing trainer, not a coding course. The Code mode uses real snippets because they are full of symbols and casing, the keys that slow most people down, so drilling them builds genuine typing speed. The Vim mode builds muscle memory for Vim motions inside a real modal editor.
