Cotypist2026.5

Cotypist predicts the next words as you type, placing inline suggestions directly into whatever Mac app you are using. Press Tab to accept the next word or an entire suggested line, or continue typing and let it adjust to the word you intended within a letter or two. This keeps writing in your existing app instead of interrupting your train of thought to open a chatbot and compose prompts.

The suggestions are generated locally on your Mac rather than in the cloud, and the app learns your vocabulary, names, phrasing, and sentence habits as you write. Its autocomplete can help complete individual words, sentences, and recurring phrases while leaving the final wording under your control. Cotypist is aimed at people who write email, documents, messages, notes, or other text throughout the day and want to reduce typing and correction work. It is especially useful when ideas arrive faster than they can be entered.

Cotypist is freeware for macOS, with current version 2026.5 requiring macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It is described as Mac-only and runs entirely on Apple Silicon locally; the listed architecture support covers Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. Setup takes a few minutes, and no account is required. Because it works system-wide, the same predictions follow you across Mac applications rather than being confined to a dedicated editor.
