Everything TypeSeer does, in detail

No marketing fog here — this page describes exactly what ships today. Every feature below is unlocked during the free 14-day trial.

The core

Ghost-text autocomplete, everywhere you type

TypeSeer reads the text field you’re focused on and predicts how your sentence continues. The suggestion appears as grey ghost text floating exactly at your cursor — your document is never modified until you accept.

  • Works system-wide: Mail, Notes, Slack, browsers, and most other Mac apps
  • Press Tab to accept the next word
  • Each Tab accepts another word; optionally make a quick double-Tab accept the whole suggestion in General settings
  • Type something different and it disappears — it never gets in your way
  • Type what it suggests and it stays put, shortening as you go
In any text field

I wanted to follow up on our conversation from yesterday — are you free for a quick call this week?

Gemma 4 E2B — base
Measured for accurate, responsive completion on every supported Mac

Downloaded once (about 3.5 GB), stored on your Mac, and used locally afterwards. Advanced users can add another compatible model.

On-device AI

A language model that lives on your Mac

TypeSeer runs a modern open language model directly on Apple Silicon. On first launch it recommends a measured base model and downloads it once you confirm — after that, predictions are generated entirely on your machine, with no server in the loop.

  • One roughly 3.5 GB default, selected for reliable completion across supported Macs
  • Use the Advanced option during setup, or the custom-model field later, to add another compatible MLX-format Hugging Face model
  • Download happens in the background, with progress in the menu bar
  • Once downloaded, the model generates predictions without an internet connection

Self-learning

It learns how you write — on your Mac

Personalization is optional and can be enabled during setup or later in Settings. TypeSeer then builds a private memory of your writing from the sentences you finish. It picks up your vocabulary, the names and terms you use, and your phrasing, then draws on them when they fit what you’re typing now.

How it stays honest: it learns only from completed sentences, never the one in progress or a suggestion you ignored. Text you accept can become part of a learned sentence once you finish it. Learned names and phrases are offered only when the current text relates to them. It is prompt-based retrieval on your device: no fine-tuning, no cloud, no account.

  • Learns your names, terms and turns of phrase from what you’ve already written
  • Review Data shows every learned sentence with understandable evidence such as language, application and source
  • Export a readable copy, delete one learned sentence, or clear the active collection — Settings → Context awareness → Personalization
  • The default base model can imitate style examples; a compatible instruction-tuned custom model can instead follow written role, audience or tone guidance
After writing about a project

Thanks — I’ll loop in Priya and the Helios team before Friday.

“Priya” and “Helios” came from your own past writing — surfaced only because this sentence is about them.

Snippets

;today {date}

Type a trigger, press Tab, done.

Snippets

Stop retyping the same things

Define short triggers that expand into text you use all the time — your address, email sign-offs, canned replies. Type the trigger, press Tab, and it expands in place, in any app.

  • Any trigger → any expansion, managed in Settings → Snippets
  • Dynamic placeholders: {date}, {time}, and {clipboard}
  • Works alongside AI suggestions — snippets always win on an exact trigger

Spelling fixes

One-Tab spelling fixes, in any app

Finish typing a misspelled word and TypeSeer shows a subtle orange hint with the correction — press Tab to apply it. Nothing is ever changed for you: if you ignore the hint, your typo stays exactly as you typed it.

  • One Tab to fix the word you just typed
  • Checked against the languages you write in, so a Polish word is never “fixed” into an English one
  • Can be toggled on or off in Settings → General

Let’s schedule the meeting for Wendesday

The typo stays underlined until you press Tab or Esc

Optional grammar checking

The reports was sent yesterday.

was → were  Review before applying

TypeSeer can miss errors, and an occasional suggestion may be a style preference rather than a necessary correction.

Grammar

A local second pair of eyes, when you want one

Grammar checking needs an instruction-tuned model. TypeSeer’s default base model deliberately leaves it unavailable; advanced users can add a compatible instruction-tuned model through the custom-model field, then turn grammar checking on. Every proposed change is shown before anything is applied, so you can accept a fix or leave your sentence alone.

  • Designed for everyday errors such as agreement, tense, articles and apostrophes — not as a substitute for a professional editor
  • Use configurable keyboard shortcuts to apply the nearest detected fix or all detected fixes
  • Native apps and Safari can show underlines and a right-click fix menu. In apps where TypeSeer cannot locate words on screen, those visual controls may not appear; keyboard fixes may still work, depending on what the app exposes
  • Uses the compatible instruction-tuned autocomplete model you select, with no additional download or model memory
Inline word completion

See you tomorrow

That would be unavoidable

Press Tab to finish the word

Word completion

Finish long words in one keystroke

As you type a word, the local model uses the sentence around it to decide whether the letters at your cursor are already complete or should grow into a longer word. Type “tomo”, press Tab, get “tomorrow”. Your Mac’s dictionaries still help TypeSeer validate and clean up the result.

Honest limits: completion is contextual rather than a dictionary shortcut, so it can still choose the wrong word or stay quiet. It is always a suggestion, never an autocorrect.

Auto-detected, no switching

Three languages, one document — TypeSeer keeps up with each line.

Multilingual

Fluent in the language you’re writing in

No language switcher to fiddle with. TypeSeer detects the language of each thing you type — on-device — and continues in it. Change languages mid-document and it follows line by line.

It’s not just the AI that’s multilingual. Spelling corrections, word-completion validation and the way suggestions are trimmed all have dedicated word tables for 15 languages: English, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Swedish, Danish, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish and Vietnamese.

  • Tell it your languages once. Name the languages you write in — pre-filled from your Mac’s settings — so a Polish word is never checked against an English dictionary and flagged as a typo. Regional variants (en-GB, en-US…) are handled for you.
  • It offers what you’re missing. If you write a language you haven’t enabled, TypeSeer notices and quietly offers to add it — at most once, waiting in the menu until you look. It never interrupts.
  • Only working dictionaries are used. macOS advertises more languages than it has installed; TypeSeer checks which dictionaries really work, so spelling help never silently switches off.
  • Language-smart details. Name learning is even adjusted for languages like German that capitalise every noun, so ordinary words aren’t mistaken for names.

Your context, your rules

Suggestions that fit what you’re replying to

Turn on Context awareness and TypeSeer reads the message you’re replying to and the thread around it, so its suggestions match the conversation instead of guessing. In our testing it noticeably improved suggestions in Mail, Outlook, Safari and Teams. It can also draw on what you last copied, for when you’re writing about something from another app.

All of it happens on your Mac: TypeSeer reads only the window you’re typing in, never password fields, and nothing ever leaves your machine. Both parts are off until you turn them on — during setup or in Settings → Context awareness.

Website affinity is separate and opt-in. In supported browsers, TypeSeer can prefer writing learned on the same website, then fall back to browser-level and general writing. It stores only the normalized hostname — never the page path, search, title, port or account — and shows that evidence in Review Data and exports.

  • Reads the on-screen conversation to fit your reply — entirely on your Mac, never from password fields
  • Clipboard awareness is optional too, for writing about something you copied from another app
  • Disable TypeSeer completely in individual apps from the menu bar
  • Use global or per-app style examples with the default base model; compatible instruction-tuned models use written guidance instead
  • A snippet containing {clipboard} reads the clipboard when you deliberately expand that snippet, independently of the switches above

For experimentation

Custom models and careful tuning

TypeSeer includes measured defaults for its built-in base model. If you want to experiment, you can enter another compatible MLX-format Hugging Face repository and adjust how readily it offers text.

  • Custom models are not tested by TypeSeer for quality, speed, memory use or compatibility
  • Each third-party model has its own licence, which you are responsible for reviewing
  • Per-length confidence thresholds control how certain the model must be before a suggestion is shown
  • Prompt-style controls change how your text is presented to the model; the automatic setting is the recommended default

Honest limit: these controls can make suggestions worse as easily as they can improve them. The built-in model’s defaults are based on measured behaviour; custom-model values are only a starting point. The base model uses example prose as style examples; models marked -it, -instruct or -chat can follow written instructions and also enable grammar checking.

Privacy

Private by architecture, not by promise

Privacy isn’t a policy checkbox in TypeSeer — it’s how the app is built. There is no server that could see your writing, because prediction happens on your Mac.

  • Everything you type stays on your device — inference is 100% local
  • No suggestions are ever generated in password or secure fields
  • Network is used for three things, none of which carries your writing: downloading the AI model you choose, a once-a-day check for a new version of TypeSeer, and verifying your license key
  • The update check sends only the version you’re on and a random install ID — not derived from your Mac, your name, or anything else about you. It can be switched off; the Privacy page says how
  • After a successful licence check, TypeSeer currently keeps working offline for up to seven days; it validates a stored licence at launch and when you open Settings
  • Review Data exposes learned sentences and their understandable evidence; optional website evidence contains only a hostname
