An extendable launcher that puts your tools, AI, and automations one keystroke away
Open apps, run commands, and search files from a single hotkey, with thousands of community extensions connecting the services you already use.
Chat with leading AI models, call Quick AI from any app, and let AI Extensions act on your connected tools to finish multi-step tasks.
Browse everything you have copied and insert frequently used text or addresses by simply typing a keyword.
Create shortcuts that launch URLs, run scripts, or trigger commands, and assign hotkeys or aliases to the actions you repeat most.
AI autocomplete for your entire Mac, running locally and never sending your writing to a server
Faint ghost text completes the word or sentence you are typing right at the cursor. Tab accepts the entire suggestion, the right arrow takes just the next word, and Esc dismisses it so you stay in control.
The model runs on your Mac rather than in the cloud. Typeahead never sends your writing to a server and keeps working offline after setup, which makes it suitable for work email and sensitive documents.
It reads what is on screen and what you copied to the clipboard, so replies fit the thread you are actually answering rather than being generic filler.
Set a voice per app, professional in Mail and friendly in Messages, choose from seven color-blind-safe highlight shades, and tune suggestion timing to instant, balanced or only when you pause.
