Typeahead
System-wide AI autocomplete for your Mac, fully offline
What it is
Typeahead is a native macOS app that adds AI autocomplete to every text field on your Mac, from Slack to Mail to your terminal. It runs entirely on-device with a local model, so nothing you type is sent to a server, and it's sold as a one-time $79 purchase rather than a subscription.

What you get free vs paid
Verdict
Pros
- Works in every app system-wide, not just a browser extension
- Runs 100% locally and offline, no account or telemetry
- One-time $79 price instead of another monthly subscription
- Adapts to your personal writing style after a few days of use
Cons
- Mac only, no Windows or Linux version
- $79 upfront is a real commitment before you know if it'll stick
- Needs 8GB RAM and about 3GB of disk space for the local model
If you're on a Mac and tired of subscription fatigue, Typeahead's one-time price and total privacy make the $79 easy to justify, though you should actually use it for a few days before deciding it's earned a permanent spot in your menu bar.
