Don't see your app?

Typeahead uses the macOS Accessibility API, so most apps with a text field work even if they aren't listed. Ask us about yours.

Compatibility

Questions about app support.

Very likely. Typeahead uses the macOS Accessibility API, the same one screen readers use, so most Mac apps with a standard text field work even if they are not listed here.

Sidebar chats, search boxes, and extension panels in editors work out of the box. The code buffer and the shell are off by default, partly so suggestions never surprise you there and partly because editors have their own completion systems. Enable them per app in Settings; in a terminal, Option-Return accepts a suggestion.

macOS only lets assistive software see text fields that apps expose through the Accessibility API. A few apps draw their own text and expose nothing, and no autocomplete tool can reach those. When caret positioning is unreliable, Typeahead shows its suggestion in a small floating bubble instead of inline.

No. Parallels, VMware, Citrix, and remote-desktop windows render the remote screen as pixels, so there are no text fields for macOS accessibility to see. That limitation applies to every tool in this category.

By design. Password managers, crypto wallets, and finance apps are suppressed by default so ghost text never appears near credentials or financial data. Changing that requires an explicit opt-in.

No. Typeahead works at the system level, so ghost text appears in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and the rest without installing anything per browser. Chromium browsers are woken for accessibility automatically. There are no flags to set and no tabs to pin.

No. It is $79 one-time.

It works where you already write.

One local autocomplete layer across browsers, email, docs, and chat, with the sensitive parts of your Mac left alone.
