Predictive text in LM Studio and Ollama: fully local, from prompt to answer
Yes, Lightkey works in LM Studio and Ollama. If you run AI models on your own computer, Lightkey predicts the prompts you type, in grey right where you're typing. Press Tab to accept, or keep typing. It also suggests spelling corrections as you go.
How it works
Install the Lightkey desktop app and open the LM Studio or Ollama app on Windows. Predictions appear in the chat box where you type your prompts.
What it helps you write in LM Studio and Ollama
Local models get the same kinds of prompts again and again. Lightkey learns yours, for example:
“You are a helpful assistant that answers briefly.”
“Summarize the following text in five bullet points.”
“Rewrite this in plain English.”
“Continue from where you stopped.”
Lightkey also works in ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Perplexity, if you use cloud assistants too.
Local all the way
People run models in LM Studio and Ollama to keep their data on their own machine. Lightkey works the same way: its prediction engine runs on your computer and keeps working offline, so it doesn't send what you type to a cloud service.
