Everything you type, a little faster
One quiet tool in your menu bar — predicting, correcting, getting out of your way.
Works everywhere
Email, Messages, Slack, Notion, docs, social, your browser — one tool across your whole Mac, with no per-app setup.
100% on your Mac
Every prediction runs on Apple Silicon. Your words never leave your device and are never used to train a model.
Tab to accept
Suggestions appear inline as faint ghost text without perceptible delay. Press Tab for the next word, or Ctrl+E to take the whole line. Keep typing to ignore it.
Shows what it saves you
Keystrokes, words, and time saved, counted on your Mac. Today’s total lives in your menu bar, the full picture in Stats.
Fixes typos inline
TypeTab quietly catches slips as you type and offers the correction — Tab to apply, or keep going.
Speaks your languages
Great for non-native English writers and mixed-language typing. It meets you wherever your words come from.
Learns your style
It picks up your vocabulary, names, and phrasing over time, so the suggestions sound like you — not a robot.
Stays out of the way
Turn TypeTab off in any app from the menu bar, or keep an app out of learning while still getting suggestions.
Skip the prompting tax
Chatbots make you stop, ask, wait, and edit. TypeTab is already there — in the sentence you're writing.
- Stop what you’re writing
- Switch to a chatbot in another window
- Type a prompt explaining what you want
- Wait for it to think
- Copy the answer back
- Rewrite it so it sounds like you
- Keep typing
- Press Tab
That's the whole workflow.
Three keys. That's the whole interface
No menus, no settings to learn. If you can type, you already know how.
Take the next word
Accept one word at a time and stay in your rhythm.
Take the whole line
Grab the entire suggestion in a single keystroke.
Ignore it
Don't like a suggestion? Type right over it — no popups, ever.
Up and running in a minute
No setup wizard, no account, no model downloads to babysit.
Install TypeTab
Download the app or run one Homebrew command. It lives in your menu bar — no dock clutter.
Grant accessibility
Flip one macOS permission so TypeTab can read the field you're typing in and show suggestions inline.
Start typing
Ghost text appears as you write. Press Tab for the next word, Ctrl+E for the whole line, or keep typing to ignore.
Your keyboard should keep its mouth shut.
The whole point of TypeTab is help that never trades your privacy for convenience. Nothing you type leaves your Mac — so you can use it for work email, personal messages, that tricky reply, and everything in between without a second thought.
- Every prediction runs on the Apple Neural Engine, on your Mac.
- Your words are never uploaded and never train a model.
- No account, no sign-in, no telemetry.
- Works fully offline — on a plane, at a café, anywhere.
Made for how you write
TypeTab isn't just for power users. It quietly helps anyone who types — and that's everyone.
Non-native writers
Write with confidence in your second — or third — language. TypeTab fills the gaps.
Fast thinkers
When your brain outruns your fingers, TypeTab catches the rest of the sentence.
Tired hands
Fewer keystrokes means less strain — gentler on sore wrists and long writing days.
Inbox warriors
Blast through email, replies, and messages in a fraction of the taps.

Questions, answered
How is TypeTab different from ChatGPT?
TypeTab is not a chat box. It finishes your sentences inline, right where your cursor is, in any Mac app — no prompting, no switching windows, no copy-paste. You stay in your flow and press Tab when a suggestion is right.
Does my text leave my Mac?
No. Every prediction runs on-device on Apple Silicon. Your words, documents, and messages never leave your Mac, are never uploaded, and are never used to train any model. TypeTab works fully offline.
Which apps does it work in?
Almost all of them — Mail, Messages, Slack, Notion, your browser, docs, and most native text fields. It's one system-wide tool, so there's no per-app setup.
Can I turn it off in specific apps?
Yes. From the menu bar, turn TypeTab off for the app you were just using. In Settings, Apps lets you control Suggest and Learn separately for every app, so you can keep suggestions without adding that app to your learning corpus. Password fields are never read.
How do I accept a suggestion?
Press Tab to accept the next word, or Ctrl+E to accept the whole line at once. Don't like a suggestion? Just keep typing — it updates as you go and never gets in your way.
Is it accurate?
It's good, not magic. TypeTab learns your vocabulary and writing style over time, so suggestions get sharper the more you use it. When it's unsure, it simply stays out of the way.
Will it make my writing sound generic?
No. TypeTab suggests your next words — it doesn't write for you. It learns your vocabulary and tone, and you accept only what fits, so the voice stays yours.
Does it support languages other than English?
Yes. TypeTab works across many languages and is especially helpful for non-native English writers, mixed-language typing, and anyone who finds typing physically tiring.
Will it drain my battery?
TypeTab runs lean on the Apple Neural Engine and only computes when you are actively typing. On a recommended Mac the impact on battery life is minimal.
How do I know it is actually saving me time?
Your menu bar shows today’s keystrokes saved, and the Stats pane adds words completed and time saved for the week and all time. Everything is counted on your Mac, and no text is stored for it.
What does it cost?
Free to try — your first 100 word completions and 20 full-line completions are on us. After that, a one-time license unlocks unlimited completions on up to 3 Macs. No subscription.
What are the system requirements?
macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later on an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer). 16 GB of memory is recommended for the smoothest experience. No account is required.
Can I get a refund?
All purchases are final — but you never have to buy blind. The free trial gives you 100 word completions and 20 full-line completions with no card required, so you can be sure TypeTab is right for you before you pay. If a technical issue stops it working on a supported Mac and we cannot fix it, email us and we will make it right.
