Cotypist is smart autocomplete for the Mac apps you already write in: Mail, Slack, Notes, docs, even AI prompts. Press Tab when a suggestion fits, or keep typing and watch it update in real time. Runs locally on your Mac. No cloud, no API calls.
Been using Cotypist for about a month now and it's a great app. I fully planned on upgrading to the paid version until I saw it was a subscription. I don't understand the pricing model for an app that is not a service, and I don't use it enough to warrant an ongoing payment. That said, the app is great and I'm hoping the free version is enough for my limited usage.
I discovered Cotypist a month ago, and it became such an integral part of my workflow that I can’t remember the days without it. It integrates so natively and seamlessly, and the suggestions are correct in the vast majority of cases. It should come with Mac by default, honesty
@vonhraban Thank you for the kind words! "This should be built into macOS" is the highest form of praise, I really appreciate it.

Congratulations on the launch!
I’ve been using the beta over the last few weeks - Cotypist is about as close to mind reading as it gets. It also manages to walk the line remarkably well - staying out of your way while always being there when you need it.
@weichsel Hi Thomas, thank you for the praise! "It feels like it reads my mind" has been a recurring theme in early access feedback. Luckily, the actual insights usually still need to come from oneself, so Cotypist won’t replace that anytime soon.
Great product, been using it for a few days now and it's been giving me actual value, including while writing this! :)
However, the Plus tier is a bit too expensive in my opinion, would have instantly subscribed to it if it was a bit cheaper, still thinking about it though.

I'm not sure what made you think the pricing is a good idea. Limiting features and usage on a software that only eats from the users resources is really an awkward choice.
I totally get that one time pricing might not be viable for a developer these days as you need to finance continous development/improvements that people expect but close to 150€ per year when billed monthly is a bit of a stretch for the full functionality.
Would you have chosen a V1 price of maybe 39-59€ and then asked for updates or even a much lower price per year I would have gotten it but at current pricing it's just not at all interesting anymore to me.
Good luck anyways.
I was very skeptical. In the first place, I really don't like any kind of "assist" when it comes to my writing. In the second place, I figured a tool like this would feel intrusive. After using the beta for a few months now, I'm a convert. I'm consistently impressed with the quality and accuracy of the suggestions, how natural and seamless it feels, and how much it's improved my writing speed. Kudos on the launch, Daniel!
@michael_mcwatters Thank you, glad to hear that Cotypist has won you over!
Cotypist is excellent. I've been using it for a few months now and it's been a game changer for me. It is genuinely one of the most useful apps I’ve ever used. However, the subscription price... it's too steep. Especially since this runs entirely on my local machine. There's just no chance I'm paying someone such a hefty subscription fee to use a local app of this nature. I would be much happier paying for a lifetime license, OR a "one years worth of updates" licence, while retaining unlimited completions and usage of whatever updates are released.
