It composes but cannot send. On purpose.

So many tools in this category are racing toward autonomy. Read the inbox, write the reply, send it, tell you afterwards. The pitch is always fewer decisions for you.

I went the other way.

Ghostwriter drafts straight into whatever box your cursor is already in ... and then it stops. There's no send button in it. Not disabled, not behind a confirmation dialog. It does not send. It types, and it's done.

How it works: your cursor is flashing in a text box. Gmail, Slack, a form, some app nobody's heard of. Double-tap left ctrl key.

Ghostwriter reads what's on screen. It knows your local files and your connected accounts. It works out what belongs there and writes it at your cursor.

Two taps and it's already written.

Then you edit it, or bin it, or send it. Your call, every time.

Two reasons I'm stubborn about this:

The failure modes aren't symmetrical. A bad draft costs you ten seconds. A bad sent message costs you a client, or an apology, or a relationship. Automation that saves ten seconds while risking the other thing is a bad trade, and it's a trade nobody asks you to consent to explicitly.

You cannot fully trust any AI model. I've watched AI produce drafts that were better than what I'd have written, and drafts that confidently misread the room. I can't tell you in advance which one you're getting. Neither can anyone else selling you this.

It's Windows-first, which I realize is an odd thing to lead with in 2026. Almost everything here ships Mac-first and ports later. This didn't. Mac and Linux are coming.

Free to try.
