Typeahead is the writing assistant that writes with you, not for you. It works in every text field on your Mac, helping you type faster and smarter with inline suggestions that appear as you write. It runs on a local AI model, works offline and keeps your writing on your device.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Sam, co-founder of Typeahead.
We built it because most AI writing tools still take you away from the place writing actually happens. You open a chatbot, paste text into a box, get something back, then spend time trying to make it sound like you.
That never felt like the right interface for writing.
Typeahead works inline in every text field on your Mac. As you type, it instantly suggests words and sentences right at the cursor, so you can move faster and think less about the tool. It feels more like your computer helping you write than using a separate AI product.
A big part of the product for us was making this local. Typeahead runs on a local AI model, works offline and keeps your writing on your device. We also wanted it to feel like software you own, which is why it's a one-time purchase rather than another subscription.
A few things that make it different:
inline suggestions, right where you already type
works across your Mac instead of inside one app
built to write with you, not for you
runs locally, your writing stays on your device
one-time purchase, free updates for life
Would love to hear what you think, especially from people who have tried chat-style AI for writing and found it broke their flow.
I'll be around all day replying to comments.
Really impressed by this. Congrats on the launch. I’m kind of amazed at how fast the suggestions show up. They feel instant, and more importantly they’re actually useful. A lot of AI writing tools are slow or get in the way, but this genuinely helps me type faster.
The interesting edge case with system-wide autocomplete is how it handles context switching. does it know you're writing a Slack message versus a legal doc in Word and actually shift register accordingly, or is it one tone fits all? Also curious whether it reads the surrounding text in a field or just the last few words, because that gap is usually what makes suggestions feel off.

The "writes with you, not for you" framing is spot on. Running a local model so it works offline and keeps everything on-device is a real differentiator vs the cloud autocomplete crowd, and inline suggestions in every Mac text field is a great hook.
