@tibo_maker AI autocomplete for Mac cotypist.app

This is the most incredible AI writing partner tool I've ever used. I was using Antigravity for some content work the other day and noticed it was auto-suggesting words as I typed. I thought that was pretty cool but moved onto some other work and kinda forgot about it. Then I saw a post today about a mac app called Cotypist that does the same thing, so I gave it a try. This thing is amazing. It's AI-powered auto-complete/suggest that works anywhere you type. You give it permission to screenshot your screen, and it uses that context plus a locally installed LLM to suggest words as you type. You just tab through suggestions you want to use and type when you want something different. It's all done locally, nothing leaves your mac. This UX is the smoothest integration of AI enabled writing I've ever experienced because it happens right in whatever text editor you're using. It also solves the biggest problem with using AI chatbots as writing partners. They produce so much output that editing it to fit what you actually want to say (in your voice, in your style) going back and forth, becomes almost as hard as writing it from scratch yourself. It quickly turns into AI slop that sounds nothing like you. Using this I have the same feeling as when I started using Wispr Flow to prompt LLMs. But I still like to type stuff out myself. I feel like I can think better when I do, and Cotypist is just the right amount of AI assistance for that. This is not paid or sponsored btw. Just really liked the app. Shoutout to whoever the creator is. You've got a winner here.

Wispr Flow + Cotypist + Claude Code is the productivity trifecta 🤝 Wispr Flow = speech-to-text 3x faster than you can type Cotypist = text autocomplete everywhere 2x faster than you can type Claude Code = AI agent that can do anything

@kloss_xyz If you’re on a mac, try out Cotypist It runs fully locally and once it’s learned your writing style is very good cotypist.app

Who want to use a user experience fitst product in our AI world which should be part of every OS should look to @cotypist - best software in our crazy world of AI.

Hey @daniel_a_a, @cotypist is awesome! Told at least five friends already. Thanks for building this. It's saving me so much typing.

@cotypist my fav feature so far... is the emoji suggestions. based on what i typed so far

I've been using @cotypist for a couple of weeks, and now I'm enjoying typing more than ever because of it. I think the main reason is that, as a non-native English speaker, it helps me type quickly without worrying about what word needs to come next. It's much better compared to Grammarly.

This Cotypist app sped up my typing x times. It’s like auto complete on your phone but better. What’s your fav app on Mac you could recommend?

Telling codex "read all you need and stop just before editing files" is a really effective way if you run multiple agents in one folder and don't want them to interfere. Often half the time spent on reading and planning.

@LinusEkenstam Unless you already type way faster with Cotypist!

I’m a huge fan of Typeless, seeing them finally come to iOS is beyond exciting. If you are already using the Apple native dictation, this is a no brainer. never used voice dictation I promise you this will make you way faster than typing 💨

@i_Kisliy @TimingApp Thanks for the report! What does it look like in other email clients?

Damn, thank you for that week insights, very informative 😅 @daniel_a_a

@atiorh Good example of this: cotypist.app

Overheard in SF: "...No no no. I know our models can run on-device but we don't want them there. We are making good money on our cloud API..." -Founder of a leading voice model lab If you are creating value for users, you can capture it on-device too, just with better margins. If the only reason you are charging your current prices is your "required" cloud GPU costs, you are about to be smoked in the market.

Exactly the same. I don’t write the code myself but I know how to write it and what I want. So I’m just driving my agents toward that. Make the product delivery much easier and predictable.

cli's are so much easier to debug, I build features on my webapp now cli-first so agents can test this end-to-end without any browser dance.

@codyschneiderxx I found myself doing the same. That's why I built Cotypist, which gives you real-time AI autocomplete in any text field, anywhere on your Mac. No need to switch to cursor or any other app. For a demo, see me type this exact tweet in the attached video.

talked to a founder friend who told me that they are write everything in a Cursor txt file now all Linkedin posts, tweets, blog posts, investor updates, emails because the AI autocomplete helps them think through ideas faster they said it's like having a writing partner who can instantly suggest the next sentence or help expand on half formed thoughts this made me realize we're probably going to see a lot more AI native workflows like this where people completely change their entire creative process around what the tools are actually capable at rather than trying to force AI into their existing habits and young people with zero baggage will just start from this point, they won't even have to readjust their views they have no baggage and i think the bigger extension of this is that you’re going to be building personalized software automating these new workflows in the same IDE you’re writing in EG here’s your linkedin post writing process and 5 minutes later personalized software is deployed to vercel that you or your team could use for that content production this post was probably written like this

@steipete What were the main optimizations it performed? I tried to look myself for the corresponding commit in the Peekaboo repo, but couldn’t find it.

Bitched at claude that Swift compile times suck and it just made it 30% faster. O.o

The faster founders can ship a new SaaS, the quicker they are to abandon it. Customers will find out the hard way. Offering self-hosted solution, or having a reputation of supporting legacy software will be an important differentiating factor.

@kovacsamate Rolling my own — super simple client-side event collector, and a small Laravel web app that dumps the events into BigQuery and runs queries as desired.

Mobile founders: What analytics service are you using? We are using mixpanel right now but their pricing makes zero sense given the low LTV of mobile users.
