Product Overview
What is Typeahead?
Typeahead is a lightweight macOS application that brings system-wide inline autocomplete to any app where you type—Mail, Slack, Notes, or your browser. Instead of relying on cloud servers, it runs a compact language model directly on your device, so suggestions appear instantly and your text never leaves your machine. Users buy a single license and keep the app forever, with no subscriptions or recurring fees involved.
Key Features
System-Wide Ghost Text
Inline, ghost-text style suggestions appear as you type in virtually any native Mac text field, accepted with Tab or dismissed with Esc.
Fully Local Processing
Runs entirely on-device using a local AI model, so keystrokes and drafts are never transmitted to external servers, even while offline.
One-Time Lifetime License
A single $79 purchase unlocks the app permanently, with no monthly fees, subscriptions, or usage limits.
Adaptive Writing Style
Typeahead 2.0 learns how you write and adjusts to per-app writing styles, supporting multiple languages and evolving context over time.
Privacy-First Design
No accounts, telemetry, or data collection; the developer only stores information provided during license purchase.
Use Cases
- Fast Email Drafting : Executives and professionals speed up replies in Mail and other clients with contextual sentence completions.
- Team Messaging : Users compose Slack or chat messages faster with real-time inline suggestions tailored to their tone.
- Everyday Note-Taking : Writers and students use Typeahead in Notes or any text editor to reduce repetitive typing and speed up drafts.
- Offline Writing : Users without reliable internet access still get full autocomplete functionality since the model runs locally.
