Glintype
Stop typing the endings you have written a thousand times.
Glintype is a privacy-first Mac app for local-first inline autocomplete, midline completion, multilingual writing, and optional cloud AI.
Hey everyone 👋
I started Glintype because I kept wanting the same thing on macOS: autocomplete that works everywhere, feels native, and does not require sending everything I type to a server.
Tools like CoTypist proved there is real demand for this, but I wanted to build something local-first, more flexible, and sold as a simple one-time purchase rather than another subscription.
Glintype runs from the menu bar and gives inline ghost-text suggestions as you type. Press Tab to accept. It supports local models, Apple Intelligence where available, app profiles, dictionary replacements, emoji shortcuts, autocorrect, and optional screen/OCR context.
The challenge has been making this work across the messy reality of macOS: native apps, browser text fields, chat apps, docs, and AI prompt boxes all behave differently.
I’m still improving compatibility and would love honest feedback from people who type a lot on Mac. There is a free trial, so please try it and tell me where it works beautifully — and where it breaks.
