About Cotypist
Cotypist is a macOS autocomplete tool that suggests text as you type, system-wide across your apps.
Its distinguishing trait is that the AI runs locally on the Mac, so the text it processes stays on-device. It also adapts its completions to your own writing style rather than producing generic phrasing.
It fits Mac users who want inline autocomplete everywhere and care about keeping their text off external servers. It is not an option if you are on Windows or Linux, since it is macOS-only, and there is no public pricing listed, which makes it hard to compare on cost before trying it.
Among AI writing aids, it sits on the privacy-first, local-model side rather than the cloud-service side that most autocomplete tools occupy.
