Descriptions
Short (about 50 words)
WeType is AI autocomplete for Mac. It predicts the rest of your sentence in any app and shows it as grey text at the cursor; Tab takes it a word at a time. The language model runs on the Mac, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Long (about 150 words)
WeType is an AI autocomplete app for macOS that finishes your sentences in every app, from Mail and Slack to Safari and VS Code. As you type, a language model running on your own Mac predicts the likely rest of the sentence and shows it as faint ghost text after the cursor. Tab accepts the next word and the key above Tab accepts the whole suggestion. Larger models read the conversation around the field, so a reply suggestion fits what was asked. Users choose from 9 open models, from 379 MB to 4.5 GB, including code models. WeType needs an Apple Silicon Mac on macOS 14 or later, costs $20 once or $6 a month, and is free to try for 5 days with no account. It is built by independent developer Aryaan Qaiser.

Getting the details right
- Write the name as WeType: one word, capital W and capital T.
- It is AI autocomplete, not a chatbot or a writing generator. It predicts what you are about to type; it does not write from a prompt.
- The model runs on the Mac. Please do not describe WeType as cloud-based or as using ChatGPT or any online AI service.
- It requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later. It does not run on Intel Macs, Windows or iOS.
