TL;DR

Type books. Automate typing. Read books you've typed.

TL;DR is an idle typing game where you transcribe entire books, one character at a time. Every word earns tokens. Tokens buy upgrades. Upgraded keys type themselves — turning yellow in the text, racing ahead of your cursor, until the whole line sweeps forward on its own.

It starts as a typing game. It becomes something quieter.

How to play

  • Type the character shown by the cursor
  • Complete words to earn tokens
  • Spend tokens on the virtual keyboard to upgrade individual keys
  • Upgraded keys auto-type their character in the text ahead of you
  • When a whole word is fully auto-typed, your next keypress sweeps through it automatically
  • Finish a book to add it to your library — and read it back in full
