Cotypist is a quiet writing helper that sits behind everything you type on your Mac. As you write in Mail, Slack, Notes or a browser, it suggests the next words in line with your sentence. Press Tab and the suggestion is yours. Ignore it and it fades away. Because the model runs on your own machine, your words stay there, and it works offline too.

2. Open the file and drag Cotypist into your Applications folder.
3. Launch it, grant accessibility permission when asked, and let the local model finish downloading.

System Requirements

The vendor states Cotypist needs an Apple silicon Mac with macOS 14 or later. Intel Macs are not supported. The local model needs a few gigabytes of free space and the app uses a modest share of memory while you type.

FAQs

Does Cotypist send my typing to the cloud?

No. The vendor says completions are generated on your Mac, so what you type is not sent to a server for processing.

Which apps does it work in?

It works in most places you can type, including mail clients, chat apps, note apps and browsers, right inside the text field you already use.

Is there a free option?

The vendor offers a free download with a trial of the paid tier, then a free plan with limits. Check the official site for the current plan details.
