TabType

Contextual text expansion for macOS power users

What it does

Type; in any app on your Mac and TabType instantly surfaces completions from your project — agent skill,s git branches, file paths, npm scripts, and your saved snippets. No manual setup. It reads your codebase and knows what you need. Save AI prompt templates and reuse them anywhere with a keystroke. Pipe any shell command into the popup as a custom provider. Everything runs locally — no cloud, no keylogging.
