About
Retrotype turns your iPhone, iPad, or Mac into a typewriter. Not a typewriter theme on a text editor — an actual typewriter experience. The paper scrolls under a stationary carriage as you type. You hear the keys. You feel the haptics. It's the real thing, minus the ink ribbons. This update is basically a rebuild. There are now 4 handcrafted typewriter models, each with their own personality and color palettes (22+ total). Five sound packs range from a heavy mechanical clack to a soft electric hum. Twelve paper themes. You can dial in margins, bell, font size, backspace behavior, auto-return, tab spacing — the kind of settings that only exist because someone actually cared. Premium unlocks 3 additional models and all palettes for $4.99. Once. No subscription. The Classic model and core experience are free to download and use.
