A simple application for Microsoft Windows that will allow your toddler to play at pressing buttons on the keyboard in a cut-down word processor environment, without the risk of them messing up the rest of your computer.
Toddler Typer protects your computer in the following ways:
- Runs full-screen, so your toddler can't interact with your desktop or with other applications.
- Runs as a "top-most window", so even if your toddler manages to launch a different application, Toddler Typer will still stay on top.
- Doesn't have an "exit" button, so your toddler can't accidentally close the application. If you want to close it, just use the standard
ALT+F4hotkey. - If you have a multi-monitor system, Toddler Typer will launch simultaneously on every screen.
Toddler Typer doesn't have any buttons, to keep everything toddler-safe.
If you want to control Toddler Typer, the following hotkeys are available:
ALT + F4to exit Toddler Typer.CTRL + UP ARROWto increase the font size.CTRL + DOWN ARROWto decrease the font size.
You can get the official release of Toddler Typer on the Microsoft Store.
Alternatively, you can download the raw executable from here. This version is not signed with an Authenticode certificate (because I don't have hundreds of dollars spare to spend on a certificate for Toddler Typer), so you may see a pop-up from Microsoft SmartScreen Filter when you download it. If you're a tech pro you'll know what to do - but if not, I recommend just grabbing it from the Microsoft Store instead.
