Cotypist

In plain words

Cotypist is an AI autocomplete tool for Mac that operates locally across applications like Mail, Slack, Notes, and document editors. It generates writing suggestions that update in real-time as users type, which they can accept by pressing Tab or dismiss by continuing to type. The tool runs entirely on the user's Mac without sending data to cloud servers or making API calls, making it suitable for anyone seeking privacy-focused writing assistance across their existing applications.

  I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-deviceAug 2026 · simedw.com · ▲598

  I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
