Typeahead for Windows For Developers
For the Text Around Your Code

Not a code completion tool.
The rest of your sentences, though.

Copilot handles your code. Typeahead handles everything else you type around it — Slack messages to the team, commit messages, PR descriptions in the browser, notes in a scratch file. It stays out of your code buffers entirely, on by default only in natural-language contexts.

What Typeahead Is Not

This isn't a Copilot or Cursor alternative, and it doesn't try to be. It has no understanding of syntax, types, or your codebase, and it's not built to autocomplete code.

  • No AST awareness, no function signatures, no code-specific training
  • VS Code code buffers are off by default — it has to be explicitly turned on per app
  • Won't suggest code inside .py, .ts, .go, or any source file by default
  • If you want code completion, keep using your existing tool for that

What It's Actually For

The natural-language text around your code — team chat, commit messages, PR descriptions written in a browser, README drafts in a plain editor — is where Typeahead operates.

  • Slack messages to teammates, finished as you type them
  • Commit messages typed into a terminal or Git GUI text field
  • VS Code's chat and text panes, opt-in and separate from the code buffer
  • Runs locally, so nothing you type — including PR descriptions with internal detail — leaves your machine
For your day
Scoped to natural language, on purpose

Every category below is prose, not source code.

Team chat

Slack is a supported messenger — status updates and quick replies to teammates get finished as you type.

Commit messages

Typing a commit message into a terminal or Git GUI text field is natural-language text, and Typeahead treats it that way.

Code buffers stay off

VS Code's editor buffer is disabled by default. Enabling it is an explicit per-app choice, not the out-of-box behavior.

Nothing leaves the machine

Runs on a local model through llama.cpp — internal project names, PR descriptions, and chat text stay on your device.

FAQ
Questions from developers
Is this a Copilot or Cursor alternative?
No. Typeahead has no code-specific training and isn't built to autocomplete source code. It's a general natural-language sentence completion tool for text you type outside your code, like chat and commit messages.
Will it suggest text inside my code files?
Not by default. VS Code's code buffer is off out of the box. Only VS Code's chat and text panes are treated as natural-language contexts and enabled by default; the code editor itself requires explicitly turning it on per app.
Does it work in Slack?
Yes, Slack is a supported messenger app. Note that Microsoft Teams is not currently supported.
Can it help with commit messages?
Yes, when you're typing a commit message into a terminal or a Git GUI's text field, Typeahead treats it as ordinary text input and offers completions.
Does any of my code or internal text get sent anywhere?
No. Suggestions come from a model running locally through llama.cpp. There's no cloud processing, no account, and no telemetry on what you type.
