What you type is yours
Autocomplete sees every sentence you start: emails, drafts, private messages. Typeflo is built so none of it leaves your computer.
The model runs here
Suggestions are written by a model on your Mac, not by a server. There is no account, no analytics, no telemetry and no crash-report sharing. What you type is never logged; the logs hold only things like the app name, how long a suggestion took and error codes.
The network is for one thing
Typeflo goes online only to download the model file you picked. It checks the file against its expected checksum, stores it in ~/Library/Application Support/Typeflo/Models/, and from then on works offline. Apple's built-in model needs no download at all.
Quiet where it should be
Terminals, password managers, password fields and any text field while macOS secure input is on are off by default. You can switch off any other app or website too, and where a field cannot be read reliably Typeflo shows nothing.
Learning is yours to control
Typeflo can learn from your writing so suggestions sound like you. It says so when you set it up, you can turn it off or switch it off per app, and Settings has a button that deletes all of it. What it keeps is encrypted on your Mac with a key held in your Keychain.
Everything Typeflo can touch
- The text field you are typing in: it reads the text before your caret and inserts the words you accept
- Its own folder in ~/Library/Application Support/Typeflo/ (models, usage counts and, if learning is on, your encrypted writing history)
- A key in your Keychain that unlocks that history
- The clipboard and the text on your screen, only if you switch those on in Context
- Its own preferences
- The network, only to download the model you choose
Nothing else.
