About Typeahead
Overview
Typeahead is a native macOS app that brings AI autocomplete to every application you type in. Inline suggestions appear as you write, and pressing tab accepts them. All AI processing runs locally on your Mac, so your words never leave your computer.
The app requires no account, sends zero telemetry, and works offline, even on a plane. A single one-time payment of $79 covers unlimited usage, every language model, and free updates for life, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Key Benefits
- Works in every Mac app, from email to Slack to Notion
- Runs fully locally with no cloud processing, accounts, or telemetry
- Accepts suggestions with a single press of tab
- Learns your writing voice after a few days of use
- Works offline, including on a plane
- Saves 5-8 hours each week on repetitive typing
How It Works
Typeahead shows inline suggestions while you are still typing and accepts them when you press tab. Suggestions appear at the moment writing speed is won or lost, so you never switch to a chat window. After a few days, the app learns how you write, and the continuations start to sound like you.
Use Cases
- Email-heavy professionals who send 50+ emails a day finish routine phrases like "Thanks for reaching out" before they type them
- Developers keep momentum through Slack messages, PR descriptions, issue write-ups, and question answers
- Writers get continuations that match their own voice after a few days of use
- Non-native speakers say what they mean more fluently and spend less time second-guessing sentences
Why Choose This Product
Typeahead differentiates itself from chatbots and writing tools such as Grammarly, GitHub Copilot, and Notion AI. Those products fix grammar or complete code inside a single app; Typeahead completes everything you type across the whole Mac and never sends your writing to the cloud. It requires macOS 14 or later with 8 GB of RAM and about 3 GB of free disk space.

Frequently asked questions about Typeahead
How do I get Typeahead?
Purchase for $79 and download immediately. One payment, then it is yours forever.
How is this different from Grammarly or Copilot?
Grammarly fixes grammar in your browser and Copilot completes code in your IDE. Typeahead completes everything you type, in every app, locally. They are different tools for different jobs.
Does it work offline?
Yes. All AI processing happens on your Mac and your writing is never sent to a server. The app checks your license on startup but works offline between checks.
What about my privacy?
Your writing never leaves your Mac. There is no cloud processing and no telemetry. The only network activity is license activation, optional update checks, and the one-time download of your AI model.
What Mac do I need?
macOS 14 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. You need 8 GB of RAM minimum and about 3 GB of free disk space for the AI model.
Is it a subscription?
No. It is a one-time purchase of $79 that you own permanently, with no renewal and no recurring fees.
