Features
Everything you need to write less and say more
Suggestions that look like they belong in the app you are using, and stay out of your way when you do not want them.
Works in the apps you already use
Mail, Notes, Slack, Teams, Claude, Chrome and more: native apps, browsers and Electron apps, with no plugin per app.
Your writing stays on your computer
A language model runs on your own machine. Nothing you type is sent to a server, and the app has no analytics.
Fixes typos as you go
A misspelled word gets its fix in a small bubble. Click or arrow back onto a word later and the fix is offered again.
Finishes half-typed words
Type “Thurs” and it offers “day at 10 am.” Short words complete before you finish them.
Per-app control
Turn it on or off for each app, set app-specific instructions, and pause it anywhere with one shortcut. Code editors start switched off.
Private by design

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is TypeBlink really free?
Yes. There is no account, no subscription and no word limit. Download it and use it as much as you like.
Is there a free AI autocomplete for Windows and Linux?
Yes, TypeBlink. Most inline autocomplete apps are Mac-only; TypeBlink is free on Windows 10 and 11 and on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 as well as on the Mac, with the same features everywhere.
Is TypeBlink a free alternative to Cotypist?
Yes. Both suggest text inline in every app with a model on your computer. TypeBlink has no daily word limit and no paid tiers, and it also runs on Windows and Ubuntu. See the side-by-side comparison on our Compare page.
Does my writing leave my computer?
No. Suggestions come from a language model running on your own computer. TypeBlink only goes online to download a model you choose and to check for new versions; neither request contains anything you write. The app has no analytics or telemetry.
Which apps does it work in?
Any app with a standard text field: Mail, Notes, Messages, Slack, Teams, Claude, and text boxes in Chrome, Safari, Edge and other browsers. It never reads password fields. Terminals and code editors start switched off; press Ctrl + ` to ask for a suggestion there, or switch the app on in Settings.
Type less. Say more.
TypeBlink is free on Mac, Windows and Ubuntu. Set up takes about two minutes, most of it the model download.
