TabNine is an awesome extension for your favourite IDE or code editor that you must want to keep using after the first use, it uses deep learning to help you write code faster. And it doesn’t save your code to a cloud, read in depth here or have a read on the quote from their privacy page, below:

TabNine offers a cloud-based configuration, which allows for usage of more robust models that cannot be run locally on a development machine. These models are run on GPU servers, and require that you Opt-in before they can be used. We do not use your code to train our models. All information sent to our servers is ephemeral, only used to compute your prediction, and the queries themselves are not saved in our system after we’ve fulfilled them.
