Everything TypeSeer does, in detail

The core

Grey-text autocomplete, everywhere you type

TypeSeer reads the box you’re typing in and works out how your sentence continues. The suggestion appears as grey text right at your cursor, and your own text is never touched until you accept it.

• Works system-wide: Mail, Notes, Slack, browsers, and most other Mac apps
• Press Tab to accept the next word
• Each Tab accepts another word. The key above Tab takes the whole suggestion. You can pick your own keys in Settings → Keyboard
• Type something different and it disappears. It never gets in your way
• Type what it suggests and it stays put, shortening as you go

Self-learning

It learns how you write, on your Mac

Personalization is optional. Turn it on 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 all happens on your device: no cloud, no account, and no training on your text.

• Learns your names, terms and turns of phrase from what you’ve already written
• Review shows every sentence it learned, along with the language, the app and where it came from
• Export the lot, delete one sentence, or clear everything, under Settings → Context
• Paste a few sentences in the voice you want and the built-in model writes to match them. A model marked -it, -instruct or -chat follows written instructions instead

Experimental

Speak, translate and rephrase, on your Mac

These work, and we use them every day, but they are still changing. They stay off until you turn them on in Settings → Experimental. Each needs macOS 26.

• Speak instead of typing. Press ⌃⌥D, talk, then press it again. Or hold the keys while you talk. Your words show as grey text while you speak. More about dictation
• Speak one language, type another. Pick a language under “Type it in”, and TypeSeer translates as you speak. ⌃⌥L switches languages quickly
• Rephrase what you wrote. Select text, press ⌃⌥R and pick a style: more formal, more relaxed, shorter or clearer. Add your own styles too. You see the new text before it replaces yours. Needs Apple Intelligence. More about Rephrase
• Grammar checking. Described above

Speech, translation and rephrasing all run on your Mac. Nothing you say or write is sent to us or to any AI company.

Spelling fixes

One-Tab spelling fixes, in any app

Finish typing a misspelled word and TypeSeer underlines it in orange and shows the fix. Press Tab to apply it. Nothing is ever changed for you: ignore it and 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
• Turn it on or off in Settings → General

Word completion

Finish long words in one keystroke

Type “tomo”, press Tab, get “tomorrow”. TypeSeer uses the rest of your sentence to work out which word you meant, and checks the result against your Mac’s dictionaries.

Honest limits: it reads the sentence rather than just the letters, so it can still pick the wrong word or stay quiet. It is always a suggestion, never an autocorrect.

Everyday details

See what it saves you, and spare your battery

• Statistics. Choose Statistics… in the menu for the time and keystrokes TypeSeer has saved you. They stay on your Mac
• Pause on battery. Turn it on in Settings → General, and suggestions pause while your Mac isn’t plugged in. They come back when you plug it in
• Gives back memory while you’re away. On Macs with less memory, the model sleeps after a few quiet minutes and wakes when you type
• Keeps itself up to date. TypeSeer updates during a quiet moment and reopens itself

Your context, your rules

Suggestions that fit what you’re replying to

Let TypeSeer read what’s on screen and it takes in the message you’re replying to and the thread around it, so suggestions match the conversation instead of guessing. In our testing this noticeably improved suggestions in Mail, Outlook, Safari and Teams. It can also use whatever 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. Reading what’s on screen is on from the start; using your clipboard stays off until you turn it on. Change either during setup or in Settings → Context. “Carry-over between apps” can also keep the window you were just in, so a new note or message still fits it.

“Learn each website separately” is part of personalization, and switchable on its own. In supported browsers, TypeSeer can prefer writing learned on the same website, then fall back to browser-level and general writing. It stores the site address and nothing else. Never the page, a search, a title, a port or an account. That address is shown beside the sentence in Review and in exports.

• Reads the conversation on screen so the reply fits it. Entirely on your Mac, and never from password fields
• Replying to an email in Apple Mail, Outlook or MailMate, “Hi” is followed by the sender’s name, not yours
• It can also use what you last copied, for writing about something from another app
• Turn TypeSeer off in one app from the menu bar
• Or on individual websites — your bank, an admin console — with one list shared by every browser, and a bar through the menu-bar icon whenever suggestions are switched off where you are
• Give the built-in model example sentences to imitate, for everywhere or for one app. A model marked -it, -instruct or -chat takes written instructions instead
• A snippet containing {clipboard} reads the clipboard when you deliberately expand that snippet, independently of the switches above

When an app gets it wrong

Put the suggestion where it belongs

Apps differ in how accurately they describe where your cursor is, so in a few of them the grey text can sit slightly high, low, or off to one side. You can move it yourself, and it stays moved.

• Line it up by eye. Choose Calibrate Suggestion Position in the menu bar, then nudge the suggestion a point at a time with ⌃⌥ and the arrow keys. ⌃⌥ + and ⌃⌥ − make it bigger and smaller.
• It stays put. Save it and TypeSeer draws the suggestion there in that app from then on, at every text size.
• You can undo it. Settings → Apps lists every adjustment you have made, with what you changed and the text size you changed it at. Undo one, or clear them all.
• Sharing it is optional. TypeSeer asks once. Share, and your correction helps that app get fixed for everyone using it. An adjustment says which app you fixed, its font and text size, and how far you moved the suggestion. Never anything you typed.
• Fixes retire your adjustment. When a later version corrects that app for everyone, yours is marked “Now built in” and steps aside on its own, so the two never fight.

Honest limit: TypeSeer cannot tell that the suggestion is misplaced. Only you can see that. So this is something you do when it bothers you, not something the app detects and offers.
