Caret gets to know you and autocompletes you across every app on your Mac. It learns your work, your friends, your style and suggests completions that actually sound like you. Just press Tab.
We kept noticing the same frustration on our team. Typing in Slack, filling out a Jira ticket, writing a commit message, replying to an email. Our brains already knew the rest of the sentence. Our fingers just hadn't caught up yet. Autocomplete exists in code editors. Everywhere else on your Mac? Nothing. So we built Caret.
What it does: Caret sits invisibly in the background and finishes your thoughts, anywhere you type on your Mac. Press Tab and it completes your sentence. One keystroke. No copy-pasting into ChatGPT, no switching windows, no waiting for a chatbot to load.
How it works:
You grant one accessibility permission and Caret reads the context of whatever you're working on: the app, the text field, what's on screen
No screen recording, no screenshots. It reads text, not pixels.
No integrations, no plugins, no per-app setup. It just works everywhere.
What makes it different: Behind the scenes, Caret turns your sessions into chains of thought, building a second brain that learns how you write, what you're working on, and what you're likely to say next. Those memories are stored locally on your Mac. The longer you use it, the sharper it gets. It stops feeling like autocomplete and starts feeling like an extension of your own thinking.
We're a tiny team and this is a v1. We love feedback and ship fast. Thanks so much for checking us out! 🙏🏼
Congrats @ron_adin1 and @dschwartz18 on the launch! So happy to see Caret on Product Hunt.
I had the pleasure of meeting them about a month ago, and even then the energy and conviction behind Caret was impossible to miss! You could tell this team was building something they truly believe in.
And the problem they're solving is real: AI is everywhere but context stays siloed in each tool. Caret's approach of building at the OS level instead of forcing yet another integration is genuinely clever. And a huge boost for the productivity!
Excited to see where this goes! Hope to be a great journey!
“Autocomplete exists in code editors. Everywhere else on your Mac? Nothing”
every editor plugin promises AI anywhere you type. the value gap is always timing - knowing when to suggest vs when to stay quiet. availability is the easy part.
How do you envision Caret balancing speed and personalization as it learns—do you see it leaning more toward instant utility (fast completions anyone could use) or toward deeply individualized suggestions that reflect each person’s writing style?
This is such a real pain point -- the context-switching tax is invisible until you actually measure how much time you lose to it. How does Caret handle sensitive fields like passwords or internal finance docs? Curious how you think about the trust layer when it's reading across every app. Also does the 'second brain' piece work across machines or is it purely local?
