Install in a minute

macOS

  1. Drag to Applications

    Open the disk image and drag TypeBlink into the Applications folder.

  2. Open it the first time

    The app is not notarised with Apple yet, so macOS says it cannot verify it. On macOS 15 or newer, click Done, open System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. On macOS 14, Control-click TypeBlink in Applications and choose Open.

  3. Follow the setup assistant

    Switch on TypeBlink under Privacy & Security › Accessibility, download the recommended model (about 2.8 GB) and write a sentence about how you write. TypeBlink then lives in the menu bar.

Windows

  1. Run the installer

    Windows may say “Windows protected your PC” because the installer is not signed yet: click More info, then Run anyway. It installs for your user only; no administrator password is needed.

  2. Follow the setup assistant

    It downloads the model and asks how you write. Windows needs no extra permission.

  3. Find it in the tray

    TypeBlink lives in the system tray; click ^ at the right of the taskbar if you do not see it.

Ubuntu

  1. Install the package

    Double-click the .deb file, or run sudo apt install ./TypeBlink_amd64.deb in a terminal.

  2. Open it and add the input source

    The setup assistant adds TypeBlink as a keyboard input source (Settings › Keyboard › Input Sources). Your usual layout keeps working.

  3. Select it when you want suggestions

    Pick it in the top bar's keyboard menu, or press Super + Space. The tray icon appears in the top bar.

Updates

TypeBlink checks for new versions on its own and offers them with a notification, or use Check for Updates… in its menu. Updating keeps your settings and model.
