the local model approach is such a thoughtful choice, especially the way it keeps suggestions inline without that jarring popup feel. really nice craft on something most assistants get wrong.

@nurullahbekik Thanks for the kind words! A lot of care went into that inline feel. The ghost text matches each app's font and sits exactly at the cursor, so it always feels like it belongs in the app you're in. You can even customize how the suggestions look, pick a color, make them bolder or keep them subtle. Really glad the craft comes through 😃

The per-app writing styles feature is a nice touch. Does it sync those custom instructions if I move to a new Mac, or do they stay local to each device only?
Typeahead
@zain_sheikh Love this idea! Right now your styles and instructions stay local to each Mac, which is by design, everything lives on your device and nothing touches the cloud. We're planning to add an import/export option in the next update so you can carry them over to a new machine. Fully local and account-free, as always ✅
How well does it actually handle context across longer pieces, or does it just predict a few words ahead like basic autocomplete?
Typeahead
@hasankzlasnnhs This goes well beyond basic autocomplete! Most other tools simply guess the next word from your last few keystrokes. Typeahead understands what you've written, where you're writing and the tone you're using. You can also fine-tune your suggestions with custom writing styles and instructions per app. It's very good at knowing exactly what you're going to write next.
One thing I'd love is the ability to create custom tone presets — like "work email," "casual chat," or "academic" — so I can switch how suggestions sound depending on where I'm typing instead of getting the same default voice everywhere.
This is neat. Does context capture work differently in apps that load content dynamically, like web CRMs?
Typeahead
@dhiraj_patel5 Thanks Dhiraj! It handles those really well. The context engine intelligently captures relevant text from the window as you type, so content that loads in dynamically gets picked up in real time. Suggestions stay accurate, even in busy web apps like CRMs.
Local autocomplete across every Mac app is a strong trust boundary. The detail I would watch is how much control the user has over context capture, especially in messy real work where one app may hold customer notes and another may hold public draft text.
I use different writing styles every day so app specific instructions stand out. How well does Typeahead learn after repeated edits? A personal learning mode with easy reset controls could make results feel even better.
Me seeing steady updates gives confidence in the product. How do you collect feature requests from buyers? A public roadmap could help users follow future improvements.
The part that stays with me is that it slowly starts sounding like me, @samasante . Most writing helpers flatten everyone into the same polite voice, so something that leans into how I actually write really lands, and keeping it all on my own machine puts me at ease.
Me buying software once sounds better than another subscription. how often do you refresh the local model?Optional downloadable updates would keep suggestions accurate without changing privacy.
