Specific aims
“I have RSI, so every keystroke counts. Tab takes the whole phrase, the right arrow takes one word, and on a long day that’s a lot of typing I didn’t do.”

Yes. Typeahead is AI autocomplete for Mac, and it works where research gets written: grant drafts in Word or Google Docs (after a one-time setup), reading notes in Obsidian or Notion, email in Mail and replies to co-authors in Slack. It suggests the rest of each sentence in grey, generated on your Mac, and you choose what stays.
Overleaf isn't on our compatibility list yet. It runs in your browser, so try it on a project you don't mind experimenting in. Word, Obsidian, Notion and Google Docs (after a one-time setup) are on the list.
Study notes and drafts are completed on your Mac: Typeahead never sends your writing to a server, and no one at Typeahead sees it. Typeahead goes online only to check your license, look for updates and download your AI model, and none of those requests include anything you write. Whether that satisfies your agreement or your institution's AI policy is for your IRB and IT team to decide, so share these facts with them before you use it on study material.
It can. A suggestion is a guess at how your sentence ends, not a fact checked against the literature, so treat it like a colleague finishing your thought: useful, and sometimes wrong. Nothing goes in until you press Tab, and the right arrow takes a single word when only part of it fits.
It follows the language you're typing, in 16 languages, so you can draft in English and switch to your own for a note to a colleague. In each, it offers natural ways to finish the sentence you started, and you choose what stays. It doesn't check grammar or rewrite what you wrote.
Yes. After setup, suggestions work with no internet connection, in a library or on a train. A plan checks your license when you're back online.
Drafting help inside the doc (one-time setup).

A row of flags slides one place at a time through the languages; the flag in the middle is in focus, and the line under it is finished in that language.

Overlay Mode: Inline shows the suggestion at the caret; Bubble shows the field in a floating panel just above it.
