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.
The best frontend for AI.
Plug in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other LLM APIs and switch between them in a single interface, comparing responses side by side.
Bring your own keys and pay only for actual usage — Typing Mind is sold as a license rather than a recurring subscription.
Chat history and settings are stored locally in your browser, with no data collection or use for model training by the app.
Build custom AI agents, chain prompts, add training files, connect live APIs and extend functionality through a plugin library.
SpecialistIntegrates AI drafting and summarization directly into documents, but is confined to a workspace document app rather than OS-wide.
SpecialistAccelerates email and calendar workflows with advanced shortcuts and AI, but is narrowly focused on communication rather than system control.
