Write research faster without your findings leaving your computer. Fully offline.
Suggests sentence completions right where you type, in Word, Overleaf, Google Docs, or any writing app. Runs offline. Your pre-publication research stays pre-publication.
Whether it’s fluency or privacy, or both
Two reasons researchers choose Typeahead.
Writing fluency
Typeahead completes your sentence structures as you write, helping you close the gap between thought and written word. Especially useful for non-native English speakers who think clearly but want natural phrasing.
Research privacy
IRB agreements and pre-publication norms restrict what you can share with external services. Typeahead runs entirely on your Mac. Your unpublished findings never leave your device. It’s not a policy. It’s the architecture.

Use Cases
How researchers use Typeahead.
Paper and thesis writing
The sections where writing slows are usually the transitional ones. Typeahead handles sentence-level scaffolding so you can focus on the substance.
Grant applications
High-stakes, formulaic, deadline-driven. Typeahead speeds through the standard structural language while you write the scientific content.
Literature reviews
Summarizing sources, comparing findings, building the argument. Typeahead completes the transitional and comparative language inline.
Academic communication
Emails to advisors, collaborators, and committees. Peer review reports. Typeahead works in your email client too.
Compatibility
Works in every academic writing tool.
Typeahead uses the macOS Accessibility API. It works in any app with a text field, including native apps, Electron apps, and browsers.
For IRB-Sensitive Research
AI writing help that doesn’t compromise
your data agreements.
Cloud AI tools process your input on their servers. IRB agreements, data use agreements, and pre-publication norms all restrict that. Typeahead processes everything on your Mac.

Typeahead transmits nothing, so there are no external data flows to restrict. Check with your IRB if you need formal guidance, but architecturally there's nothing to disclose.
Typeahead predicts sentence structure based on what you're typing. It's not a fact source. Suggestions are linguistic patterns, not scientific claims. Always review.
