## What it is
Smassh is a terminal-based (TUI) typing test application inspired by MonkeyType, built with Python and Textual. It offers an interactive typing practice experience with words/time modes, themes, multiple languages, and many tweakable settings.

## Use cases
- practice typing speed in the terminal
- take a typing test without a browser
- measure my wpm from the command line
- monkeytype alternative for the terminal
- train touch typing with a tui app
- track typing accuracy and speed over time

## When to choose
- you want a polished typing test that runs entirely in the terminal
- you like MonkeyType but prefer a keyboard-only, offline workflow
- you want themes, language options, and strictness tweaks like blind mode or force correct

## When to avoid
- you need a web-based or graphical typing trainer
- your terminal lacks nerd fonts and you don't want to install them
- you need cloud sync or multiplayer typing races

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: terminal-ui, gui
- domain: developer-tools, education
- platform: windows, cli, python, cross-platform
