# Typilot

> Typilot is a private, on-device AI assistant for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It brings voice dictation, autocomplete, writing polish, hands-free notes, and meeting recap to every app on your desktop — all running locally via Ollama and Whisper. Nothing leaves your device.

## What Typilot does

- **AI commands in any text field** — press a shortcut in any app (email, IDE, browser, document) and type or speak a command. Typilot writes, rewrites, summarises, or translates directly into that field.
- **Voice dictation** — hold a key, speak, and your words appear as text using on-device Whisper. No audio is uploaded.
- **Writing polish** — select text in any app, press a key, and Typilot rewrites it for clarity, tone, or grammar — inserted in place.
- **Hands-free notes** — say "note: …" and Typilot saves, tags, and organises the note locally in a searchable SQLite database.
- **Meeting recap** — record Zoom or in-person meetings, get a speaker-labelled transcript, AI summary, and a chat interface over the transcript.
- **27 built-in commands** — gen:, fix:, exp:, sum:, trl:, note:, and more — plus unlimited custom commands with your own prompt, shortcut, and model.
- **Inline autocomplete** — ghost text appears as you type; press Tab to accept.

## Privacy and architecture

- Notes, meetings, history, and transcripts are stored in a local SQLite database.
- No prompts, audio, or transcripts are uploaded to any server.
- The only network call is a periodic license check and initial model download.
- Works fully offline once models are downloaded.

## Requirements

- Ollama installed and running (free, open source: https://ollama.com).

- macOS 12+, Windows 10/11, or Linux (x86_64).

## Frequently asked questions

**Does Typilot send my data to the cloud?**
No. Every AI model runs on your own machine. Prompts, audio, transcripts, and notes are never uploaded. The only network call by default is a license check.

**Does Typilot require Ollama?**
Yes. Typilot routes language model commands through Ollama, which is free and open source. You download a model once; Typilot runs it locally on every command.

**Which languages does voice dictation support?**
Whisper supports over 90 languages out of the box. You select the model and language in Typilot settings.

**Is Typilot GDPR and CCPA compliant?**
Yes. Because nothing is uploaded, there is no server holding your prompts, audio, or transcripts. Typilot is local-first by architecture.

**Can I get a refund?**
Yes. Every paid plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee.
