SpellType

What is SpellType

SpellType is a private AI autocomplete app for Mac that helps you finish emails, docs, messages, and work chat faster. It provides inline suggestions while you type in supported apps like Gmail, Google Docs, Slack, Teams, Messages, WhatsApp, ChatGPT, Claude, and Outlook. All suggestions run locally on your Mac, so no text leaves your device. It does not require Screen Recording permission, does not collect Mac app analytics, and works offline.

How to use SpellType

1. Set It Up Once: Grant the macOS Accessibility permission once. SpellType handles supported apps automatically after that.
2. Write Where You Already Work: Use it in email, chat, docs, notes, and browser writing without switching tools.
3. Save Effort One Tab At A Time: Accept useful completions with Tab, or keep typing and SpellType disappears.
