## Description

Take control of your typing productivity with RealWPM, a professional, lightweight, and high-fidelity words-per-minute tracker built explicitly for developers, writers, and competitive typists.

Unlike standard extensions that only trigger on basic inputs, RealWPM features a robust real-time tracking engine calibrated to follow your active writing session with precision.

Key Technical Features:
• Advanced Caret Tracking: Seamlessly integrates with modern web interfaces, keeping your live metric positioned cleanly near your focus point.
• Anti-Collision Defenses: Intelligent boundary detection automatically repositions the floating tooltip on compact layouts (like text editors or code sandboxes) to prevent interface crowding.
• Dynamic Decay Calculations: Features a fine-tuned mathematical idle decay algorithm that ensures your WPM gracefully scales down during breaks instead of abruptly freezing.
• Full Context Support: Engineered with sandboxed frame injection to capture keystrokes accurately inside complex elements, dynamic fields, and messaging iframes.
• Privacy-First Architecture: 100% client-side operations. Zero network overhead, zero external lookups, and absolutely no data collection. Everything stays secure on your machine.

Optimized with a premium minimalist dark aesthetic powered by Omniboxed. Perfect for benchmarking your real typing speed across the entire web.
