Why Typer exists.
In February 2026, ChatGPT started showing ads to free users. They made $100 million in six weeks. Think about what that means for a chat app. Something that knows what you’re curious about, worried about, planning.
Turns out your Mac can already do most of what ChatGPT does. Every Mac with Apple Silicon runs AI models right on the chip. No internet, no cloud, nothing leaving your computer.
Typer is a chat app that puts all of that in one place. No ads, no account. Just your Mac.

Common questions.
Typer runs AI directly on your Mac. No account. No token limit. No server to pay for. No catch.
If you want to support a small team making something different you can get Hyper Typer. Available as a one-time purchase or a subscription on the App Store. Hyper Typer also lets you use your AI to do unlimited web searches and incorporate the answer right into your chat.
You are able to do a limited number of web searches even without paying.
Yes. Typer is fully functional without internet. Unlike the standard AI you use online, Typer runs AI on your computer. No internet is needed to send your chat to be processed by AI. Your chat does not reach AI owned by a company on a server far away. No internet is needed to send the answers back to you. With Typer, it all happens inside your Mac. You get the power of AI without internet.
Typer does have the ability to search the web, but is fully functional without it.
You don’t need to know anything about AI to use Typer. Download the app, open it and start chatting. That’s it.
Behind the scenes, Typer picks the best AI model for your specific Mac and sets everything up. You don’t need to configure anything or know what a “model” is. Typer comes with one of the smallest (but worthwhile) models available and is always ready to chat. Right out of the box.
Other local AI tools expect you to choose an AI, adjust settings and set things up yourself. That’s great if you enjoy tinkering, but most people just want to chat.
Typer does all of that for you. Download it, open it, start talking. It picks the smartest model your Mac can run and keeps it up to date as better ones come out. No configuration, no decisions, no manual downloads.
Yes. If you chat about something that needs fresh info, Typer can decide to search the web and weave the results into your chat. Questions like: “What’s the weather in Lisbon?”, “The best running shoes under €100?” or “How do I get a visa for Japan?” can be answered right in the chat.
Right now the number of web searches are limited, but for those who want even more, Hyper Typer is available as a one-time purchase or a subscription on the App Store.
Typer is fully functional without a subscription and without internet.
Typer always comes with the best compact model as and when they evolve (currently Qwen 3.5). The compact model allows you to chat right away. Then Typer automatically downloads a smarter AI matched to your Mac’s memory.
The bigger memory on your Mac, the smarter it gets. Typer handles all of this for you when you open the app.
The size of Typer is about 500 MB. Small enough to be ready in a couple of minutes and you can start chatting right away.
In the background, Typer downloads a smarter AI tailored to your Mac. That usually takes 3 to 4 minutes, and you can keep chatting the whole time. Higher-spec Macs get a larger model, so it may take a bit longer.
Typer is Mac-only right now. It’s built for Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or later). That’s any Mac from the last few years.
An iPhone version is in the works. You can join the waitlist on this page.
Most models in Typer can see. You can drag a photo into the chat and ask what’s in it. Ask for a description of a screenshot, ask it to read your handwriting or get it to explain a chart.
Try Typer. It’s free.
