First Launch & Sign In
Opening TypeBoost for the First Time
After moving TypeBoost to your Applications folder, double-click TypeBoost.app to open it.
macOS might show a message like: “TypeBoost is an app downloaded from the internet. Are you sure you want to open it?” Just click Open – you’ll only see this once.
Sign In or Create an Account
When you open the app, you'll see a login window with two options:
- Already have created an account? Click Login
- New to TypeBoost? Click Create Account
Your default browser will open to complete the process.
You can sign in or sign up using:
- Email & password
- GitHub
If you sign up with email & password, we’ll send you a verification email. Please click the link in that email before using TypeBoost—it’s required for activation.
After successful login or signup, you'll be automatically returned to the app.
You're In!
Once you're verified and signed in:
- The login window will close automatically.
- TypeBoost now runs quietly in your menu bar (top right corner).
- No subscription is needed to get started—you can use the app immediately with free trial credits.
Required Permissions
The first time TypeBoost runs, macOS will ask you to grant two permissions:
- Automation of System Events
- Accessibility Access
Please allow both — they’re required for TypeBoost to:
- Detect selected text in other apps
- Re-insert improved text back where you were working
Without these permissions, TypeBoost can’t interact with your other apps — which is kind of the whole point
macOS will guide you to System Settings when needed. If you accidentally deny access, don’t worry — you can grant it later in:
System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility / Automation
