TabType

Free, open-source on-device AI autocomplete for macOS — a private Cotypist alternative.

Desktopfree

TabType is a free, open-source macOS app that shows AI-powered ghost-text autocomplete as you type in almost any app, running entirely on-device via a local Qwen3 model. It reads on-screen context to personalize suggestions and never sends keystrokes off the Mac, positioning itself as a private, account-free alternative to the paid Cotypist app. It is an early alpha.
