Thanks for the notes, I'll send a new draft.
“I sweat the details nobody else notices. The suggestion sits exactly at the caret, in the same font and size as the app I’m in. It looks native.”

In detail.
How one app works across your Mac.
How it works across apps.
Typeahead is a native Mac app. It reads the text around your cursor through the macOS Accessibility API, the same one screen readers use, and shows its suggestion right where you’re typing. That’s why it works in Mac apps with a standard text field without a plugin for each one. The AI autocomplete is the same in each: Tab, the right arrow, or keep typing.
Browsers and web apps.
Safari, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox and Zen work with nothing to install, so Gmail, Notion and other web apps do too. Arc needs a one-time setup, and so does Google Docs: turn on screen reader support in Tools › Accessibility.
Where it stays off.
Password fields and password managers, wallets and finance apps are off by design, and so is Finder. In Mail it leaves the To, Cc and Subject lines alone. Code editors and terminals stay quiet unless you turn them on for that app.
Set it app by app.
From the menu bar you can turn suggestions off for the app you’re in, or pause them everywhere for a while. Each app can have its own writing style, and you choose which apps it learns from and whether it reads what’s on screen there.
Pixel-perfect in each app.
The suggestion sits exactly at your cursor, in the app’s own font and size, so it reads like the rest of your text. We test that across the apps on the compatibility list. Where an app won’t let it sit inline, it shows in a small bubble just above the field instead, and you can pick inline or bubble per app.
Common questions
System-wide autocomplete works across your Mac apps instead of inside one editor or one website. Typeahead suggests the rest of your sentence in grey in Mac apps with a standard text field, like Mail, Slack, Notion, Messages and your browser, and Tab takes it. It’s one app, installed once, and the AI runs on your Mac.
No. It’s a native Mac app, so there’s nothing to add to your browser. It works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge, and in desktop apps like Mail, Slack and Notion, through the same Accessibility API that screen readers use.
It works in Mac apps with a standard text field. The compatibility page lists them, including Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Notion, Messages, WhatsApp and the major browsers. Arc and Google Docs need a one-time setup, and password managers stay off by design.
Yes, after a one-time setup: in Google Docs, turn on screen reader support in Tools › Accessibility. Suggestions then appear in your documents as you type.
Only if you turn it on. Terminals and code editors like VS Code and Xcode stay quiet until you enable them per app in Settings. Typeahead is made for writing, so it leaves your code alone until you ask.
Yes. From the menu bar, switch suggestions off for the app you’re in, or pause them everywhere for 30 minutes, an hour or until tomorrow. Password managers and finance apps are off from the start.
