One key, one word
Tab takes the next word. The key above Tab takes the whole suggestion. Esc hides it, or you can keep typing.

Private and offline
What you type stays on your Mac.
- Runs on your Mac. The language model runs on your Mac's own chip. There is no cloud service and no API key.
- Works offline. After a one-time model download during setup, Tabbit never needs the internet. The app has no networking code, so it can't send anything.
- Saves nothing. Your typing and the text around it stay in memory. Tabbit never writes them to disk or to a log.
- You decide what it reads. Set each app and website to Off, Typing Only, or Typing and Text Above.

Reads the conversation
In apps you allow, Tabbit reads the message above the field, so its suggestion fits your reply.
Short or long
Choose how much Tabbit suggests at once: up to one, four, or seven words.
Quiet when unsure
When the model isn't confident, Tabbit shows nothing instead of a weak guess.
In the menu bar
The menu bar icon shows what Tabbit can read in the current app. You can pause Tabbit from there at any time.
Stays out of private fields
Tabbit never reads password fields or text typed with Secure Keyboard Entry. Password managers and banking apps are off by default.
Languages
Write in your own language.
Tabbit's model learned from text in many languages, so it suggests in the language you're writing, even when a message mixes two. Languages without spaces between words, like Thai, work too, and Tab still takes one word at a time.
Fast
Keeps up with your typing.
On Apple Silicon, a suggestion appears in well under 150 milliseconds after each keystroke.

FAQ
Questions
Does it send my text anywhere?
No. The model runs on your Mac, and the app has no networking code, so it can't send anything. What you type stays in memory and is never saved.
Do I need an internet connection?
Only once, to download the language model during setup. After that, Tabbit works fully offline.
Which languages does it support?
Tabbit works in many languages, because its model learned from text in many languages. English and Thai are the ones we test most.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) on macOS 15 or later. Tabbit needs the Accessibility permission to read the field you're typing in and show suggestions at the cursor.
Why does macOS warn me the first time I open it?
Apple hasn't notarized Tabbit yet, so macOS blocks the first launch. Open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway next to Tabbit. You only need to do this once.
How big is the download?
The app is about 8 MB. During setup, it downloads its language model, about 3.4 GB. After that, Tabbit works offline.
