Free AI predictive text & autocomplete for Mac
Your Mac finishes
your sentences.
Wysp is free predictive text and AI autocomplete for your Mac, and it's private. Type in any app and it finishes the next few words in soft grey ghost text at your cursor. Press tab to accept. The model runs on your own Apple Silicon Mac, so nothing you type leaves it.
How it works
Three steps. You stay in whatever you're already writing.
You start typing
Anywhere on your Mac. A note, an email, a message, a web form.
Wysp predicts the rest
It reads the words at your cursor and what's on screen, then a local model works out what you'll likely write next.
Grey text appears, you press Tab
The suggestion shows in soft grey at your cursor. Press Tab to take it. Ignore it and it fades.
Not just email.
Everywhere you type.
Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notes, Messages, your browser — Wysp shows the same grey ghost text at your cursor and accepts on tab. Even in apps like Teams, where most typing tools can't reach.
Works in every app
Mail, Messages, Slack, Notes, Safari, Chrome. Wysp watches the text field you're typing in and suggests the next few words right at your cursor.
It uses what's on your screen
Wysp reads the page you're looking at and the app you're in. Browse a watch, switch to Messages, and it still knows the watch.
One key to accept
Tab takes the next word. Right arrow takes the whole phrase. Esc hides it. Wysp only suggests when the model is confident, so it stays quiet the rest of the time.
The model runs on your Mac
A small open language model runs on your Apple Silicon chip. We tune it to work without any setup, even with Wi-Fi off. Your words never leave the machine.
Everything Wysp does
A lot more than autocomplete.
Every feature, in plain English — and most of it is free.

What makes Wysp different
It learns how you type, and gets faster the more you use it.
Wysp runs two layers. A fast one learns the words, names, and phrases you use most, right on your Mac, and predicts them the instant you type. The AI model sits behind it for the harder, context-aware suggestions. That fast layer is the part most autocomplete apps skip, and it's why your common completions appear with no wait and start to sound like you wrote them.
It picked up your sign-off after a few emails. None of it leaves your Mac.
Help shape the beta.
Wysp's core is free for good. The power features are unlocked free during the beta on top. If it saves you time and you want to help it keep getting better, two things make a real difference.
Any amount. It goes straight into development time.
Turn on "Help improve Wysp" in the app. Anonymous prediction-quality data, nothing personal, off by default. It's what makes the next version sharper. Exactly what's shared.
AI predictive text for Mac, answered
What is Wysp? +
Wysp is a free, on-device AI predictive text and autocomplete app for Mac, made by TwinPine Digital. As you type in any app (Mail, Messages, Slack, Notes, Safari, Chrome), a local AI model predicts the next few words and shows them as grey ghost text at your cursor. Press Tab to take the next word, the right arrow to take the whole phrase, or Esc to dismiss. Underneath the model, a fast personal layer learns the words, names and phrases you use most, so common completions appear instantly and start to sound like you. Everything runs on your Apple Silicon chip: it works offline, there is no account, and your typing never leaves the machine. Wysp is a subscription-free alternative to Cotypist.
Is there an AI autocomplete that works in every Mac app? +
Yes. Wysp adds AI predictive text and autocomplete system-wide on macOS: Mail, Messages, Slack, Notes, Safari, Chrome, web forms, and most other apps. Unlike browser-only extensions or single-app tools, the next-word prediction appears wherever you type. It reads the text at your cursor (and, where you allow it, the page on screen) so the suggestion fits what you are actually writing, then stays out of the way in password, banking, and code fields.
Is Wysp a free alternative to Cotypist? +
Yes. Wysp is a subscription-free alternative to Cotypist for Mac. Where Cotypist moved to a monthly subscription, Wysp's core ghost-text experience (next-word and next-phrase predictions at your cursor in every Mac app) is free and stays free, with no account to create. The model runs entirely on your Apple Silicon chip, so it works offline and your typing never leaves your Mac, unlike cloud typing assistants. Wysp also differs from open-source options like KeyType and Cotabby by working system-wide across Mail, Messages, Slack, Notes, Safari and Chrome, and by pairing the language model with a fast personal layer that learns your own phrasing on-device. Premium is an optional one-time purchase per major version, never a subscription.
How do I add autocomplete to my Mac? +
Install Wysp. It adds system-wide AI autocomplete to macOS, so grey ghost-text suggestions appear at your cursor in almost any app, not just one. macOS has built-in text replacement and inline predictions inside some Apple apps, but Wysp works everywhere you type and predicts whole phrases rather than just finishing the current word. It is free, runs on your Apple Silicon Mac, and installs in seconds: download it, grant Accessibility and Input Monitoring once, and start typing.
Does the predictive text work in Chrome and Safari? +
Yes. Wysp works in Safari, Chrome and most Chromium browsers. In native Mac apps the suggestion appears inline, right at your cursor; in browser text fields it shows in a small hover box next to the field instead, because browsers don't expose a reliable cursor position to Mac apps. You still press Tab to accept it. Arc and Dia need their accessibility setting switched on once, and Firefox web pages aren't supported yet. Full details are on the download page.
Is my typing private? +
Completely. The AI model runs locally on your Mac. There is no cloud, no account, and no server to send anything to, and it skips password fields, banking sites, and login pages before it reads anything.
What do I need to run it? +
An Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later) running macOS 14 or newer. Wysp is a small native app, runs offline, and installs in seconds. It does not run on Intel Macs. On first launch it downloads its AI model (a couple of GB), then everything is local.
Does Wysp use a lot of RAM? +
No, and you stay in control. The default model uses around 2 GB while it's running. Wysp looks at how much memory you have spare and automatically picks the largest model that comfortably fits in what's left over, then eases down to a smaller one when your Mac is busy, so it never fights your other apps for memory. If you'd rather choose yourself, you can lock it to a specific model. Bigger models are sharper and use more RAM; smaller ones are lighter and faster.
What is the best free predictive text app for Mac? +
Wysp is a strong free choice: it adds AI predictive text and autocomplete across every Mac app, runs entirely on your Apple Silicon chip, needs no account or subscription, and predicts whole phrases (not just the current word) as grey ghost text at your cursor. Many alternatives are browser-only, single-app, cloud-based, or subscription. Wysp's core is free forever, with an optional one-time Premium per major version.
Does macOS have built-in AI autocomplete? +
macOS has inline predictions and text replacement inside some Apple apps, but no system-wide AI autocomplete across every app. Wysp fills that gap: it works everywhere you type — Mail, Messages, Slack, Notes, Safari, Chrome and web forms — and predicts the next few words, on-device, for free.
How do I type faster on my Mac? +
Install a system-wide autocomplete like Wysp. As you type in any Mac app it predicts the next few words and shows them as grey ghost text; press Tab to accept a word or the right arrow to take the whole phrase, so you write common sentences with a keystroke or two. It learns your own words and phrasing over time, runs offline on Apple Silicon, and is free.
Is there an offline AI writing assistant for Mac? +
Yes. Wysp is an offline, on-device AI writing aid for Mac: the model runs locally on your Apple Silicon chip, so it predicts and autocompletes with Wi-Fi off and nothing ever leaves your machine. Unlike cloud writing assistants, there's no account, no server, and no subscription for the core experience.
Does Wysp work on M1, M2, M3 and M4 Macs? +
Yes. Wysp is built for Apple Silicon and runs on M1, M2, M3 and M4 Macs (macOS 14 or newer). It automatically picks a model that fits your Mac's available memory and runs entirely on-device.

Your typing stays on your Mac
There is no server to send anything to. The model lives inside the app and runs on your chip. Wysp also skips password fields, banking sites, and login pages before it reads a thing. It can't leak what it never collects.
