Cotypist Brings Smart Autocomplete to Every Mac App

Daniel Gräfe launched Cotypist to the public yesterday, and it’s worth checking out.

Cotypist is smart autocomplete for the Mac. Not autocomplete in one editor. Autocomplete everywhere you write. Mail, notes, documents, messages, the prompt box of whatever AI tool you’re using.

You start typing, a suggestion appears, you press Tab, and you keep going. It learns your voice as you write, and it carries that voice across every app instead of starting fresh in each one.

Daniel made this app to scratch his own itch, and in my experience, those are always the best apps. The part that matters most to me is where the work happens. Cotypist runs on-device. What you type is some of the most personal text you generate. Private notes, half-formed ideas, drafts you would never want sitting in someone else’s training data. Keeping all of that on your own Mac is the right call.

It’s been improving fast. The recent 0.22 release added inline autocorrect, a Cotypist Labs section for experimental features like mid-line completions, British English, and right-to-left support for Arabic and Hebrew.

Cotypist has a three-tier model. Free gives you 100 accepted completions a day, which is plenty for light typing. Plus is $10 a month or $96 a year for unlimited completions and better models. Pro is $15 a month or $144 a year and adds the full model catalog, per-app instructions, and early access to Labs features.

Suggestion-based writing isn’t for everyone. Some writers find a completion popping up mid-sentence more distracting than helpful. The way to know is to try it, and the free tier means trying it costs nothing. The app is spooky-good. I’m in.
