Typilot

Typilot is a desktop AI assistant that lives in your system tray and works across any app. Press Ctrl+Space to summon it, then type a command, dictate with voice, or select text to polish. It can also record meetings, transcribe with speaker labels, and let you chat with the transcript. Everything runs locally — no cloud, no uploads.

Under the hood, Typilot uses Ollama to run local LLMs like Llama, Mistral, or Phi, and Whisper for speech recognition. You get 27 built-in commands for generating, fixing, explaining, translating, and summarizing. You can also create custom prompts and bind them to shortcuts. The meeting feature captures both mic and system audio, labels speakers, and generates a summary you can query. The polish feature replaces selected text in-place with a rewritten version — no copy-paste.

This is ideal for privacy-conscious users, developers, writers, and anyone who wants AI assistance without sending data to a server. It works in Gmail, Notion, VS Code, Slack, and many other apps. The 3-day free trial lets you test it, and after that it's a paid product (pricing not shown on site). If you value data sovereignty and offline capability, Typilot is a solid choice.
