TypePress: Typewriter Writing

TypePress transforms your iPad into a fully animated typewriter. No notifications. No formatting toolbars. No distractions. Just you, a sheet of paper, and the deeply satisfying rhythm of mechanical keys.

Every letter you type triggers the full typewriter sequence: the key depresses, the type bar strikes the ribbon, the carriage slides left, and the paper inches upward. When you reach the end of a line, you hear the bell. Hit return and the carriage resets with a mechanical slide. It doesn't just look like a typewriter — it feels like one.

The typewriter itself is a hand-drawn illustration, not a generic 3D render. The carriage is a separate component that moves independently above the body. The round keys are tappable directly on the illustration. You write on the machine, not beside it.

SOUNDS THAT MAKE YOU WANT TO WRITE

Four mechanical key variations rotate randomly so no two keystrokes sound identical. The carriage return bell rings with layered harmonics. The slide sweeps downward. Paper feed rolls softly. Every sound is synthesized from noise and resonance — warm, tactile, analog. Toggle them off if you prefer silence.

CHOOSE YOUR TYPEFACE

Seven fonts across four categories:

Typewriter — Courier Prime (classic monospace) and Special Elite (worn, inky, imperfect)

Switch fonts from Settings and the change appears instantly on your page.

ARCHIVE & STATS

Every document is auto-saved. The Archive screen shows your complete library with word counts, dates, and text previews. Your Stats section tracks total documents and lifetime words written.

EXPORT YOUR PAGES

Export as PDF with three paper styles: Vintage (aged parchment with typewriter imperfections), Modern (clean white), or Minimal (no decoration). Or export as plain text for editing elsewhere. Your first PDF export is free.

BUILT FOR iPAD

The typewriter sits at the bottom, the paper rises above it, and the sidebar gives you one-tap access to Write, Archive, and Settings. Nothing is hidden. Nothing requires a manual.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Journalers who want a ritual, not an app. Poets who want constraint. Novelists doing morning pages. Students taking notes without tabs pulling them away. Anyone who has ever thought: I just want to write.

TypePress doesn't auto-correct. It doesn't suggest. It doesn't sync to the cloud or count your streaks. It gives you a machine, a page, and the sound of your own words landing.
