Caret gets to know you and autocompletes you across every app on your Mac. It learns your work, your friends, your style and suggests completions that actually sound like you. Just press Tab.
We kept noticing the same frustration on our team. Typing in Slack, filling out a Jira ticket, writing a commit message, replying to an email. Our brains already knew the rest of the sentence. Our fingers just hadn't caught up yet. Autocomplete exists in code editors. Everywhere else on your Mac? Nothing. So we built Caret.
What it does: Caret sits invisibly in the background and finishes your thoughts, anywhere you type on your Mac. Press Tab and it completes your sentence. One keystroke. No copy-pasting into ChatGPT, no switching windows, no waiting for a chatbot to load.
How it works:
You grant one accessibility permission and Caret reads the context of whatever you're working on: the app, the text field, what's on screen
No screen recording, no screenshots. It reads text, not pixels.
No integrations, no plugins, no per-app setup. It just works everywhere.
What makes it different: Behind the scenes, Caret turns your sessions into chains of thought, building a second brain that learns how you write, what you're working on, and what you're likely to say next. Those memories are stored locally on your Mac. The longer you use it, the sharper it gets. It stops feeling like autocomplete and starts feeling like an extension of your own thinking.
We're a tiny team and this is a v1. We love feedback and ship fast. Thanks so much for checking us out! 🙏🏼

Who hunted Caret?
Caret was hunted by Ben Lang. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
