Predictive text in Todoist, Airtable, Basecamp and Linear

Yes, Lightkey works in Todoist, Airtable, Basecamp and Linear on your Windows PC. As you write a task, a record, a message or an issue, Lightkey predicts your next words 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 Todoist, Airtable, Basecamp or Linear. Predictions appear wherever you type text, with nothing to set up in the app.



Using Todoist or Airtable in the browser? Add the Lightkey extension for Chrome or Edge; it works together with the desktop app.



What it helps you write

Each of these apps has its own repeated phrases. Lightkey learns yours, for example:


  • “Prepare the agenda for Monday's meeting” (Todoist)

  • “Approved, ready to publish” (Airtable)

  • “Here's this week's update:” (Basecamp)

  • “Steps to reproduce:” (Linear)


Spelling suggestions appear above a misspelled word, so your tasks and updates read cleanly.


Private by design

Lightkey's prediction engine runs on your own computer. What you type isn't sent to a cloud service to get a prediction, and Lightkey keeps working offline. Lightkey doesn't need access to your accounts in these apps.


Get started

  1. Download Lightkey and start your free 30-day trial.

  2. Install the Lightkey extension for Chrome or Edge if you also work in the browser.

  3. Open Todoist, Airtable, Basecamp or Linear and start typing. Press Tab to accept a prediction.


Lightkey works in more than 80 languages and in virtually every app on your Windows PC. See all supported apps.
