system-wide tab-insertion across Mail/Slack/Notes is two problems stacked — the AX permission tap to read context, and per-app text injection that doesn't fight the native autocomplete. the 'your voice' part is the harder one — on-device personalization (recency kNN or LoRA) carries the quality ceiling more than base model size.

Cotypist has completely transformed how I work every single day. Typing is something we all do constantly without thinking, but Daniel has turned it into a seamless, high-productivity experience. For me, it means significantly less effort and a massive boost in speed—honestly, it feels like the app flows with my rhythm and sometimes even refines my thoughts as I type.
The real test of a great tool is how much you miss it when it’s not there. Once you adopt Cotypist, you simply cannot go back. In fact, whenever I have to switch over to a Windows machine or an Android phone, I instantly feel a bit irritated because the experience just feels clunky without it. It has truly become a 'day-one' essential for me.
@mraza696 Thank you for sharing your experience! That is exactly the kind of experience I have been aiming for. Glad to hear it’s landing!

Running a local Gemma model system-wide without choking the GPU is an awesome engineering feat. The privacy angle is a no-brainer, but honestly, just being able to tab-complete in my native flow across Slack and Mail sounds like an instant workflow upgrade.
Out of curiosity, how does Cotypist handle low-level conflicts with native macOS auto-correct features?
@doganakbulut In my experience, those conflicts are surprisingly rare. That being said, for the time being, if this is a concern, I recommend to turn off the macOS autocorrect feature; Cotypist already comes with a built-in autocorrect feature for the current word that can even work as soon as you type the wrong letter but before you have even finished typing the (incorrect) word!
I am thinking about how to even better integrate Cotypist with the macOS autocorrect feature for the future, though.

What I found interesting is that typing is one of those things everyone does all day, yet most of us never think about improving it. Small gains in speed and accuracy can compound surprisingly fast over time. Nice reminder that productivity isn't always about adding more tools.
@harini_mukesh Indeed! The cool part about Cotypist is that it just accelerates a task you would do anyway — typing — without changing your workflow. Just install it, and gain a quick and easy speed boost throughout your day, without the time investment of learning new tools or setting up complex automations.

I should note that the free plan works a lot better than you might expect, especially if you're using CoTypist for auto-suggestions and not auto-complete. 100 completed words a day sounds like nothing, but in practice I've not hit that limit yet and I use CoTypist everywhere.
@neilio Thank you for sharing your experience! The goal has been for the free plan to still be genuinely useful and sufficient for many users, so it’s great to have that confirmed. Enjoy!

It's become a standard part of my tool kit. It keeps surprising me by suggesting not the most generically likely completions, but ones ones that are relevant to what it's learned about my style andmy topics. It's a genuine time saver.
It also ticks the boxes for privacy, starting with the fact that its AI magic happens on your Mac.
@david_weinberger4 Thank you for sharing your experience! I’m glad to hear that Cotypist is able to make suggestions that feel like they come from you.
Local and in my own voice is the exact reason I'd turn this on. Cloud autocomplete always felt off inside Mail and Slack. Does it learn a style per app or share one across everything?
