Why Retrotype?
Retrotype brings back focused, joyful writing without distractions or endless editing. Like a real typewriter, your attention stays centered while the paper moves. It's intentionally limited to help you write forward, not backward.
How do I move the cursor?
Swipe or drag the paper to position where you want to type. The paper moves, not the cursor - keeping your eyes focused on one spot.
Where are my documents and how do I share them?
Documents auto-save locally on your device. Long press to copy your entire document, then paste it anywhere - email, notes, other apps. Simple export keeps you focused on writing.
Is Retrotype free? What about my privacy?
Retrotype is free to download and use with the Classic typewriter model. Retrotype Premium unlocks all 4 typewriter models, 22+ color palettes, 12 paper themes, and 5 sound packs — as a one-time purchase with no subscriptions. No ads, no data collection, no accounts. Your writing stays on your device.
What's the bell sound?
You're approaching the end of the line, like a real typewriter's margin bell. Enable Auto Return in settings to automatically advance.
How do I adjust the typing experience?
Settings (top-right) lets you choose your typewriter model, color palette, paper theme, sound pack, and haptic intensity. You can also adjust font size, margins, and enable Auto Return.
