What is Typeahead?

Typeahead is a native Mac app that suggests words and sentence continuations while you type in email, messaging apps, documents, and browsers. It works in standard text fields across apps such as Mail, Slack, Notion, Messages, and Word. Rather than asking for a separate draft, you keep writing and accept a full suggestion with Tab or one word with the right arrow.

Suggestions use nearby text and the active window for context. Typeahead learns frequently used phrases locally, lets you assign different writing styles to individual apps, and follows the language you are typing in across 16 supported languages. You can adjust suggestion length, color, and opacity, review or delete learned phrases, or disable learning altogether.

The AI runs on your Mac and works offline after setup. Your writing is not sent to a server; internet connections are used for license checks, updates, and model downloads. Typeahead uses macOS Accessibility access to read context without requiring Screen Recording permission, and it stays inactive in password fields, password managers, and finance apps. It requires macOS 14 or later, at least 8 GB of RAM, and about 4 GB of free space for the model. Monthly and yearly subscriptions offer a 14-day trial, while a lifetime purchase is also available.
