SpellType - Private Mac autocomplete you don’t have to learn or manage

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Gunveer, maker of SpellType.

SpellType is Mac autocomplete for writing (not code) for people who want AI help without learning another AI tool.

We made the free tier generous on purpose: 1,000 accepted suggestions/week, no account needed. Use it in real work first. Upgrade only if it actually saves you time.

I built SpellType for the small writing moments that add up across a workweek: Slack replies, Gmail responses, Google Docs edits, Teams updates, notes, messages, WhatsApp, ChatGPT, Claude, and more.

Most of the time, you already know what you want to say. You just don’t want to type all of it.

SpellType suggests useful next words inline while you write. If it helps, press Tab. If it doesn’t, keep typing.

That’s the whole workflow.

The opinionated part: SpellType does not try to work everywhere.

That is intentional. Autocomplete should save time in the places where real writing happens — not watch every random text field, drain battery, use memory, and interrupt you where it has no business helping.

By staying focused, SpellType stays light on battery, quiet on resources, and less distracting.

It also stays private: no Screen Recording, no screenshots, no screen data sent to a server, and no cloud autocomplete.

Under the hood, suggestions run locally with a small model built to feel fast even on older 8GB M1 Macs. No model picking, no per-app setup, no feature clutter.

We’re shipping now because SpellType is already useful in daily writing. It is not “done” — better timing, more app polish, more writing surfaces, and Pro insights for typing/time saved are already part of the product direction.

But the core bet is here:

AI should help you write faster without becoming another tool you have to manage.

Feedback welcome — especially on where SpellType can do better 🧡

local-first tiny model that just predicts the next word on an 8GB M1 feels like the right amount of restraint, and the "stays quiet where it won't help" line is honestly a nicer promise than most of the louder AI tools out there.
