TabPugDownload for MacAutocomplete for every app on your Mac. A small AI model runs right on your machine, suggests the next few words as you type, and one press of Tab drops them in.

Everything you need to write faster, and nothing that gets in the way of how you already work.
A small bubble pops up under your cursor with the next few words, in any app. Take the next word, or all of it. Don’t want it? Just keep typing.
Every shortcut can be changed in Settings.
The model lives on your machine. No cloud, no account, and it works on a plane.
Turn it on and TabPug picks up your phrases and your voice: formal in Mail, casual in Slack. It never learns from its own suggestions, keeps everything encrypted on your Mac, and shows you every word it saved.
MailFormal. Signs off with “Best regards”.SlackCasual. Short sentences, often lowercase.Took a suggestion you didn’t mean to? One shortcut takes it back, as long as you haven’t edited it since.
In an email reply, TabPug reads the message you’re answering, so suggestions actually answer it. In chats, it reads the conversation on screen.
Unplugged? TabPug switches to a lighter model, or naps until you’re charging. It pauses in Low Power Mode, too. Your call.
Your email, phone number or address, and the names of people you know, straight from Contacts. Only if you allow it.
Open models from Google’s Gemma 4 and Qwen, fast enough to feel instant. TabPug checks your Mac and recommends one.
Type a colon and a name, like :rocket, and TabPug offers the emoji. The ones you use most come first.
Type a short trigger, get the full thing. And when you keep typing the same sentence, TabPug offers to make it a snippet.
Tell TabPug how you like to write. Spelling, emoji and exclamation marks are enforced on every suggestion; the rest guides the model.
Turn TabPug off in any app or website with one switch. It always skips password fields, and stays out of code editors unless you ask. If it isn’t suggesting somewhere, “Why isn’t it suggesting?” in the menu bar tells you why.

TerminalmacOS asks for three. TabPug explains each one in plain words, and why it’s needed.
Take the one TabPug recommends for your Mac. It downloads once, then works offline for good.
Open any app and write. When a suggestion pops up under your cursor, press Tab. That’s the whole trick.
Most AI writing tools send what you type to a server. TabPug doesn’t have one to send it to.
Turn off Wi-Fi. Suggestions keep coming.
No sign-up, no email, no profile about you.
Secure inputs are ignored completely, always.
Off until you turn it on. Encrypted on your Mac (the key never goes into backups), and you can read or delete every word.
Keep accepted suggestions for an hour, a day, a week, or not at all.
One click uninstalls TabPug and everything it stored.

No. The AI model runs on your Mac, so your text never leaves it. TabPug only goes online to download models and check for app updates.
Any Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. We recommend Apple silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3 and so on) with at least 16 GB of memory. While it's on, TabPug uses about 1–6 GB of memory, depending on the AI model you choose, and it recommends one that runs smoothly on your Mac.
Models are small and only work while you type. On battery, TabPug can switch to a lighter model or pause, and it pauses in Low Power Mode if you like.
Almost anywhere you type: Mail, Slack, Notion, Messages, Notes and your browser. You can switch it off per app or per website. It always skips password fields, and stays out of code editors unless you turn them on.
Not every one, though it works in most popular apps. TabPug reads and types text through the Accessibility features built into macOS, so it works in apps that support them, like Mail, Notes, Messages, Slack, Notion, Obsidian and your browser. Some apps draw their own text without sharing it with macOS: many games, remote desktop and virtual machine windows, and a few apps built on custom frameworks. There, TabPug stays quiet. If it isn’t suggesting somewhere, “Why isn’t it suggesting?” in the menu bar tells you why, and the free trial is an easy way to check the apps you use.
Accessibility lets it read the text field you’re typing in and insert suggestions. Input Monitoring lets it notice when you press Tab. Screen Recording lets it read the text just above your cursor for context; you can turn that off. Nothing is recorded or saved.
Only if you turn on Learn from my writing. Then it keeps what you wrote (never its own suggestions, passwords, code or excluded apps), encrypted on your Mac, and its key is never included in backups. You can read every passage, delete any of them, or delete all of it.
Open models from Qwen (Qwen3.5) and Google (Gemma 4), released under the Apache 2.0 licence. TabPug downloads the one you pick from Hugging Face, once.
Settings › Uninstall TabPug removes the app along with its models, history, settings and permissions. Nothing is left behind.
Write faster in every app, with an AI that learns how you write and never leaves your Mac.
