Cotypist
Offline next-word suggestions in every Mac app
The verdict
Cotypist predicts your next words as you type and shows them inline in nearly any Mac app, then lets you press Tab to take the whole suggestion or just the next word. The suggestions are generated by a model running on your Mac, not a server. The free plan covers 100 accepted words a day, which is enough to judge whether it fits your writing.
Get it if
You write a lot of email and messages and want autocomplete in every app, with the model running on your own Mac.
Skip it if
You write a few lines a day or use an Intel Mac. The free 100 words covers light use, and Apple silicon is required.
What it helps you do
- Finish sentences with Tab in any Mac app
- Accept a suggestion one word at a time
- Cut repetitive typing in email and chat
- Keep autocomplete text on your own Mac
