Typeahead is a system-wide AI autocomplete app for Mac that completes your sentences inside the apps you already use, running entirely on your machine so your writing is never sent to a server.
Sentence completion where you already type
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.
Private by design and offline capable
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.
Screen and clipboard context
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.
Per-app writing styles and your own colour
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.
Stärken und Vorteile
+Completes your sentences in place, so you never leave the app you are writing in or copy text back from a chatbot
+Runs locally on your Mac and never sends your writing to a server, with offline support after setup

Einschränkungen
–Currently Mac-only, so Windows, Linux, iOS and Android users cannot use it
–The site still shows a waitlist alongside 'Get Typeahead', which can suggest availability is being rolled out gradually
–Because it only completes text where you already type, it will not draft a long document or research a topic for you the way a chat assistant will
–Per-app writing styles and learned phrases take a little setup before the suggestions feel genuinely personal
–Payment structure is described only as paid, without an obvious free tier for long-term use
Whimsical
Whimsical is a collaborative visual workspace that combines diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, documents and whiteboards on one infinite canvas, with AI tools that turn a prompt into a structured visual in seconds.
Prompt-to-visual AI tools
AI Flowcharts, AI Mind Maps and AI Wireframes convert a short text prompt into structured, fully editable diagrams, branched mind maps, or web and mobile wireflows — no manual drawing required.
One infinite canvas
Boards host diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, embedded media and documents side by side, so a whole product narrative lives in a single shareable file.
Real-time multiplayer editing
Multiple teammates edit the same board simultaneously with live cursors, thread comments attached to specific objects, and mention-based notifications.
Wireframing and user flows
Drag-and-drop UI components let teams sketch screens, link them into clickable flows and iterate on product ideas before engineering commits to a build.
Stärken und Vorteile
+AI generates native, editable Whimsical objects rather than flat images
+Single workspace replaces separate diagramming, whiteboarding, wireframing and docs tools
+Unlimited viewers and guests are free on every plan, including Free
+
Fast, lightweight editor with an excellent template library
+Strong collaboration features — live cursors, object comments, version history
+Serious security posture: SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR/CCPA support, SAML SSO and SCIM on Business
Einschränkungen
–Free plan caps you at 50 board objects and 50 doc blocks per month plus export watermarks
–AI credits are limited per seat and extra credits cost more
–Advanced admin and security features are locked behind the Business tier
–Very large, asset-heavy boards can feel slower than focused single-purpose tools
