Hi Priya,
Thanks for sending this through. I've read it and the numbers in section three look right to me.

How it works
Four things happen, and you only do one of them.
The whole interface is two keys.

Re: Budget sign-off
Sorry for the slow reply. I was
The same field, through all four steps.
Two keys to learn. Nothing else changes about how you type.

Coverage
No plugin. No extension. No separate editor.
WeType reads the focused field through macOS itself, so it turns up in apps nobody had to integrate with.

Commit messages, docstrings and READMEs. Pair it with a code model.
The exception, stated plainly: apps that paint their own text onto a canvas, such as some games and design tools, expose nothing to read. There is an optional screen-reading mode for those, off by default.
Why this one
It isn't a chatbot, and it isn't trying to be.
A cloud assistant writes a paragraph in its own window. WeType finishes the sentence you are already writing, in the app you are already in.
It works where you already type
Mail, Slack, Notes, Safari, VS Code, Terminal. No extension, no app to switch to.
The model runs on your Mac
In-process on Apple Silicon. No account, no API key, no per-token bill, and it works on a plane.
It reads the room, not just the line
The message you are replying to and the lines above it go into the prompt.
It picks up how you write
A small sample of your own sentences primes the model. Readable and deletable in Settings.
You choose the brain
8 models in the app, from 379 MB to 4.5 GB. Swap whenever you like.
It gets out of the way on request
Pause everywhere, or switch it off in one app. The keys, the delay and the ghost are all yours.
You pick the model
8 models in the app. None of them ours.
Choose one in Settings and WeType downloads it from the Ollama registry and runs it locally. A small one for a MacBook Air, a code-tuned one for your editor.
The app is small. The model is the real download.
| Model | Type | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Qwen 2.5 3Bdefault | base | 1.9 GB |
| Llama 3.2 3B | base | 1.9 GB |
| Gemma 2B | base | 1.6 GB |
| Llama 3.2 1B | base | 770 MB |
| Qwen 2.5 0.5B | base | 379 MB |
| Gemma 3 4B | instruct | 3.2 GB |
| Qwen 2.5 Coder 1.5B | code | 940 MB |
| Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B | code | 4.5 GB |
Bigger models read the conversation around the field; the smallest only continue your line. The picker says which is which.

The same interaction you get after installing, playing on its own. Pick a situation and the suggestion changes with it.
On your Mac, Tab takes the next word, ` takes the rest, and Esc dismisses it.

Re: Contract draft
I've read through the draft and I think we should tighten the termination clause before signing.
Getting started
Four steps, and one of them is a real download.

Questions
The things people ask before buying.
What is WeType?
WeType is a macOS app that finishes your sentences while you type. It watches the text field you are typing in, predicts what comes next using a language model running on your own Mac, and shows the prediction as grey ghost text after your cursor. Press Tab to take the next word, or the backtick key to take the whole thing. It works in every app on your Mac rather than in one editor.
Does WeType send what I type to a server?
No. The language model runs on your Mac, so your text is never uploaded and never leaves the machine. WeType makes exactly three kinds of network request, none of which carry your text: downloading a model you chose, checking for an app update, and validating your licence key after you buy. It works with the Wi-Fi off.
How big is the download really?
The app itself is 7.9 MB. The language model is a separate download you start inside the app on first run, and it is the large part: from 379 MB for the smallest model up to 4.5 GB for the largest. The recommended default, Qwen 2.5 3B (base), is about 1.9 GB. Nothing is bundled because which model to run is your choice.
Which Macs does WeType run on?
WeType needs an Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, M3 or M4) running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Intel Macs are not supported, because the on-device model is built for Apple Silicon.
Which apps does it work in?
Any app with a standard macOS text field: Mail, Messages, Slack, Notes, Safari, Chrome, VS Code, Xcode, Terminal, Notion, Obsidian, and so on. WeType reads the focused field through the macOS accessibility layer rather than through a plugin, so there is nothing to install per app. Fields that render their own text on a canvas can be the exception.
What does the free trial include, exactly?
Every feature, for 5 days, with a cap of 100 accepted words per day. The count resets at midnight and the menu bar shows what is left. No account and no card are needed to start, so there is nothing to cancel if you stop using it. After 5 days, suggestions stop until you buy a licence.
How much does WeType cost?
$20 once for a lifetime licence, or $6 a month. Both unlock exactly the same app. The only difference is how you pay. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee on both.
How do I cancel a subscription?
Through the LemonSqueezy customer portal. Enter your email, follow the emailed link, and cancel there. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for, after which WeType reverts to the trial rules. A lifetime licence has nothing to cancel and never expires.
