# Typeahead

> Typeahead is a small utility with an appealing promise: private AI autocomplete that works in every text field on your Mac and never sends your words to the cloud. Version 2.0 landed at number two on Product Hunt, and the pitch is speed plus privacy rather than raw power. It runs local models, Gemma 4 among them, directly on your machine, which means suggestions appear with sub-100ms latency and your typing stays on the device. For anyone wary of piping every email, note, and message through a remote server, that on-device design is the whole point. It is a nice example of AI showing up as a quiet feature inside tools you already use, an inline suggestion in whatever app has your cursor, rather than yet another window to switch to. If you write a lot on a Mac and care about privacy, it is worth a look.
