TypoTab suits writers on macOS; for occasional writing or Windows, other solutions work better.
About
In practice. What you can do with TypoTab.
TypoTab is a Chrome extension that integrates an AI writing assistant directly into every web page — without opening a new tab or copy-pasting. You select text, press a shortcut, and the AI improves, rephrases or extends the text in place.
The paid plan from £4/mo (billed annually) gives access to premium AI models and advanced features. In practice: write reply emails from Gmail without switching tabs, improve a LinkedIn post before publishing, correct a Google Doc by selecting and pressing a shortcut.
Positioned as a lightweight alternative to Grammarly Premium or ChatGPT extensions for writers who want to stay in their flow.
