TOOL · AUTOCOMPLETE / TYPING

Cotypist

Cotypist is the autocomplete layer that follows us around the Mac. It is not a chatbot we switch into; it predicts inline text while we type in everyday apps, which makes prompts, replies, notes, and task updates faster without changing the workflow.

VERDICT
Keep it high in the stack. It gets used constantly because autocomplete is most valuable when it is always available, not trapped inside one writing app.

Best for

  • Autocomplete while typing across Mac apps instead of opening a separate AI writing tool
  • Writing prompts, replies, notes, and operating docs with less manual typing
  • Keeping autocomplete local on the device instead of sending every draft to a cloud service
  • Using the latest Qwen model family where small local models are finally useful enough for daily completions

Skip if

  • You are not on an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later
  • Your main apps are in the unsupported or partial-support bucket
  • You need full document drafting from a prompt rather than inline suggestions while you write
