A Windows-only experimental system-wide predictive-typing companion (Win32/UIA): inline ghost text in any text field, accepted with Tab. Compile-only, unshipped; mac/linux planned.

The public home of ryu-predict. Source, builds, and releases live here — binaries for every platform are attached to each release.

This tree is generated from the Ryu monorepo, so commits pushed here directly are replaced on the next sync. Pull requests are welcome — open them here and they are ported into the monorepo, then flow back out. Ryu as a whole: https://github.com/amajorai/ryu

Install

App: Install (opens the Ryu desktop app and asks you to confirm)

CLI:

ryu apps add @ryu/predict

Status: Windows-only, experimental, unshipped

The source of record for Ryu Predict, a Windows-only experimental companion (Win32 / UIA). It is compile-only and unshipped today — it is not built into any release. mac / linux are planned. Standalone Cargo crate (cargo build on Windows); Core owns the prediction brain (/api/predict/complete), so no model id or Gateway policy lives here.

Build / Run

cargo check --manifest-path apps-store/predict/Cargo.toml   # verify
cargo run   --manifest-path apps-store/predict/Cargo.toml   # Windows, with a display

On non-Windows targets it compiles to a clear "unsupported on this OS" stub.

Connection (matches the other Ryu clients):

• RYU_CORE_URL: local Core node (default http://127.0.0.1:7980)
• RYU_TOKEN: shared node token (optional for a tokenless local node)

What it provides

• Caret probe (caret.rs): UIA TextPattern caret rect + preceding-text context, the input to each prediction.
• Tab-swallow hook (hook.rs): a WH_KEYBOARD_LL hook gated on a suggestion-visible atomic, so Tab is normal the rest of the time and accepts the ghost text when one is shown.
• Layered overlay (overlay.rs): a click-through, color-keyed GDI overlay that renders the ghost text at the caret.
• Engine loop (engine.rs): polls the caret, debounces, and POSTs the context to Core via the client.rs CoreClient; SendInput injection on accept reuses ghost-hands.

Role / How it fits

Core is the brain (apps/core/src/predict/): it enforces the privacy denylist + per-app allowlist and hands the call to the Gateway. This companion is the system-wide surface, while the in-desktop editor copilot lives in the desktop app instead. The window tech (raw Win32 here) is swappable; the engine is the load-bearing part.
