Software you buy not software you rent.
Typeahead is $79 one-time. It runs on your Mac and works across your apps — a desktop utility you own, not another recurring AI bill.
The pricing matches the architecture.
Typeahead is local, inline, and part of your Mac workflow. The cleaner buying logic is simple: pay once, install it, and keep using it wherever you write.
Buy once
Install locally
Use across your Mac
Forget renewal dates
Local software shouldn't bill like the cloud.
The more a tool becomes part of your day, the stranger it feels to keep renting it.
Typical subscription
Another recurring line item that stays live as long as you keep using the tool.
The mismatch
Your Mac does the work, the product lives in your workflow, but the pricing still behaves like rented cloud software.
Typeahead
A local Mac writing tool with ownership pricing. Install it, use it, forget the billing.
Why It Fits
Pricing that matches the product.
Pricing matches the product
Typeahead runs locally and helps in small moments all day. That is owned desktop software, not metered cloud usage.
Local means no rent
You provide the machine and the workflow. There is no hosted inference bill behind every sentence.
No billing anxiety
Typeahead gets more useful as it becomes ordinary. A tool that fits your day should not charge monthly.
No renewal math
Pay once, install it, keep using it. No re-justifying the tool every month.
Ownership strengthens trust
Local AI is easy to trust, so one-time pricing is easy to believe. Software you own, not access you rent.
Where It Lands
Who ownership pricing is for.
Mac utility buyers
You buy good Mac tools once and keep them for years. Typeahead fits that mental model.
Founders and operators
Typeahead helps in dozens of updates, replies, and handoffs every week. Repeated utility feels cleaner as a one-time purchase.
Consultants and client-facing teams
When a tool becomes part of daily communication work, recurring pricing starts to feel like a tax on a habit.
People tired of rented software
You can value AI without letting every helpful product become another subscription line item.

Why one-time?
Subscriptions incentivize retention tricks. One-time purchases incentivize building something so good you tell people about it. We chose the second one.
One-Time Purchase
Questions about why Typeahead is priced this way.
Yes. Typeahead is $79 once.
Because Typeahead runs locally on your Mac and behaves more like a system-wide utility than a hosted AI workspace. The pricing is meant to match that product shape.
No. The point is not to make the app smaller. The point is to keep the business model aligned with local, native utility software instead of another recurring seat.
Most subscriptions charge around ongoing hosted usage. Typeahead runs on your Mac, stays inside your workflow, and does not need a remote inference path for suggestions.
No. They reinforce each other. Local architecture makes the trust story cleaner, and one-time pricing makes the product feel more like owned desktop software.
Pay once. Own it forever.
Typeahead is local, inline, and useful across the whole writing day. That is exactly why the one-time model fits.
Runs on your Mac. No subscription. Yours to keep.
