'Cotypist' Adds Autocomplete to All Your Mac Apps ...Middle East

That's the idea behind Cotypist, a (currently) free Mac application by developer Daniel Gräfe that adds mobile-style autocomplete to every application on your Mac. The tool, which uses an offline LLM running on your device, requires an Apple Silicon processor (16 GB of RAM is recommended).

Setting things up is fairly straightforward. After installing the application and launching it, you'll get a short tutorial. You'll need to enable the permissions needed by the application. You'll also need to wait for the application to download a large language model (the application automatically picks the most powerful model likely to run well on your device). After that's set up, you'll start seeing suggestions.

You can configure a few things using the menu bar icon; e.g., you can disable suggestions in a particular application for a set amount of time or indefinitely. This is helpful if you're tripping over the suggestions in some apps but find them useful in others. You can also click the settings option to change the keyboard shortcuts for accepting suggestions.

I've been using Cotypist, off and on, for about a week now. Every once and a while it accurately predicts where I'm going and suggests the right words, saving me a few keystrokes. Most of the time, though, I find myself distracted by the suggestions. This might have something to do with my writing style—I'm a pretty fast typist, and I usually know the next word I'm going to type before I actually type it.

The thing about writing, though, is that it's intensely personal—everyone does it a little bit differently. I can imagine this being a useful tool for someone whose brain works a little differently than mine, or someone who struggles with typing. If you're curious whether this tool will fit your workflow, I highly recommend giving it a spin.
