The best free alternative to Cluely, Final Round AI, LockedIn AI, and Interview Coder.
Same UI as Cluely. More features. $0. Open source. No data breaches.
Competitors charge $20–$149/month, store your data on their servers, and one already breached 83,000 users. Natively costs $0, runs locally, and has never had a data breach. Your keys, your models, your machine.
Requires macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon & Intel) or Windows 10/11
🔥 49.4k views · 💸 $0 vs $149/mo rivals · ⚡ <500ms latency · 🛡️ 0 data breaches
Natively started as a pixel-perfect recreation of Cluely's interface — then kept going. If you've used Cluely, you already know how to use Natively. Same overlay, same workflow, same shortcuts. Except it's free, open-source, runs locally, supports any LLM, and has never breached a single user's data.
Looking for a free Cluely alternative? A Cluely open-source clone? You found it.
Natively works as a free, undetectable AI coding interview assistant for standard online assessments. It captures your screen, analyzes the problem, and gives you real-time hints, solutions, and explanations — all through an invisible overlay that doesn't interfere with your coding environment.
Works undetected on:
- LeetCode (including LeetCode contests)
- HackerRank
- CoderPad
- Codility
- HackerEarth
- Karat
- Any browser-based coding environment
How it works:
- Screenshot the problem with a single shortcut
- Natively OCRs the question and sends it to your chosen AI (GPT, Claude, Gemini, or local Ollama)
- Response appears in the invisible overlay — never on screen share
⚠️ Important: Natively is not designed to bypass dedicated proctoring software like Pearson VUE, ProctorU, or Respondus Lockdown Browser — these run at the OS level and are a different category entirely. For standard online coding assessments without dedicated proctoring software, Natively's stealth mode is not detectable.
- Cluely had a data breach in mid-2025 that exposed 83,000 users' personal info, transcripts, and screenshots — Natively stores everything locally with limited basic telemetry and has never had a breach.
- Final Round AI costs $149/month and its taskbar icon is visible to proctoring software — Natively is free, open-source, and has a battle-tested undetectable stealth mode.
- LockedIn AI charges $55–70/month and locks you into their cloud LLM with no local option — Natively lets you use any model (GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama) or go fully offline with Ollama.
Every star pushes Natively higher in GitHub search, helping developers and job seekers find a free, private alternative instead of paying $149/month for tools that store their data on someone else's server.
This demo shows a complete live meeting scenario:
- Real-time transcription as the meeting happens
- Rolling context awareness across multiple speakers
- Screenshot analysis of shared slides
- Instant generation of what to say next
- Follow-up questions and concise responses
- All happening live, without recording or post-processing

The UI is intentionally familiar — if you've used Cluely, there's zero learning curve.
Cluely's mid-2025 data breach exposed personal information, full interview transcripts, and screenshots of 83,000 users. Every word spoken during an interview was stored on their servers — and then leaked. They charge $20/month for this privilege.
Natively has no backend, no servers, and limited telemetry (basic GA4 install tracking, zero user data). Your transcripts, API keys, and screenshots never leave your machine. The entire codebase is open-source (AGPL-3.0) and auditable. Zero breaches, zero data collection — that is the only acceptable standard for a tool that listens to your interviews.
LockedIn AI is the most expensive tool in the category at $55–70/month. It locks you into a single cloud LLM with no option for local inference. Every transcript and response passes through their servers.
Natively supports every major model (Gemini, GPT, Claude, Groq) via bring-your-own-key, and offers 100% offline mode through Ollama. You pay only for the API tokens you actually use — or pay nothing at all by running Llama 3 locally. No subscription, no vendor lock-in.
Final Round AI is the most expensive option at $149/month, optimized for pre-interview prep and mock interviews but with the slowest live latency in the category. Critically, its taskbar icon is visible to proctoring software, making it detectable during monitored interviews.
Natively delivers <500ms end-to-end latency using Rust-based native audio capture with Zero-Copy ABI Transfers. Its undetectable stealth mode hides from the dock, disguises process names, and syncs state across all windows — battle-tested and hardened across five major releases.
Pluely is a solid lightweight alternative (~10MB, Tauri-based) and it has Linux support, which Natively does not yet offer. Credit where it is due.
But Pluely is a basic overlay. It has no local RAG, no meeting history, no dual audio channels, and no dashboard. Natively is a complete intelligence system: it remembers your past meetings via local vector search, separates system audio from your microphone, and gives you a full management dashboard with export to Markdown, JSON, and Text.
Interview Coder is a paid tool focused specifically on coding interview assistance. Natively does everything Interview Coder does — and more — for free:
| Natively | Interview Coder | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ✅ Free (BYOK) | ❌ Paid |
| Open source | ✅ | ❌ |
| Works on LeetCode / HackerRank | ✅ | ✅ |
| Screenshot + OCR analysis | ✅ | ✅ |
| Real-time overlay | ✅ | ✅ |
| Local AI / offline mode | ✅ Ollama | ❌ |
| Behavioral interview support | ✅ | ❌ |
| System design support | ✅ | ❌ |
| Meeting history & RAG | ✅ | ❌ |
| Any LLM (BYOK) | ✅ | ❌ Locked |
| Data stored locally | ✅ | ❌ Cloud |
Natively covers the full interview loop — not just the coding round.
Parakeet AI offers basic live meeting assistance but has no persistent memory, no meeting history, and no local vector search. Natively remembers your past meetings via local RAG, lets you ask questions across all your history, and gives you a full dashboard to manage, export, and search everything.
- No Linux support — we are actively looking for maintainers to help bring Natively to Linux
- API key setup overhead — you need to bring your own API keys (or install Ollama), which adds initial setup friction compared to all-in-one cloud tools
- No built-in mock interview mode — Final Round AI has dedicated mock interview practice; Natively focuses on live, real-time assistance
While other tools act as simple API wrappers, Natively is a complete, native intelligence system designed specifically for high-stakes meetings and interviews.
- Native Audio Capture (<500ms): Built with Rust and Zero-Copy ABI transfers, bypassing generic web-audio limitations for ultra-low latency.
- Dual-Channel Intelligence: Distinct pipelines for system audio (what they say) and your microphone (what you dictate) ensuring perfect transcription without room noise.
- Battle-Tested Stealth Mode: Completely undetectable. Hides from the dock, disables popups, and disguises the process during screen sharing.
- Rolling Context: We don't just transcribe; we maintain a "memory window" of the conversation for smarter answers.
- Local RAG Memory: We embed your meetings locally using SQLite vector search so you can ask, "What did John say about the API last week?"
- Rich Dashboard: A full UI to manage, search, and export your history—not just a floating window.
- Fully Offline Capable: Don't trust the cloud? Run Natively 100% offline using local Ollama models with limited basic telemetry.
While Natively is free and open-source forever, we also offer a Pro Edition designed specifically for power users and job seekers. Purchasing a Pro license gives you an edge in the job market, all while directly supporting the continued development of the open-source Natively core!

Natively understands that listening to a meeting and talking to an AI are different tasks. We treat them separately:
- System Audio (The Meeting): Captures high-fidelity audio directly from your OS (fully supported on both macOS and Windows). It "hears" what your colleagues are saying without interference from your room noise.
- Sample Rate Auto-Detection: Dynamically detects and syncs true hardware sample rates (e.g., automatically handling 48kHz audio interfaces or external microphones without distortion or downsampling artifacts).
- Two-Stage Silence Processing: Combines adaptive RMS thresholds with WebRTC Machine Learning VAD to reject typing and fan noise.
- Microphone Input (Your Voice): A dedicated channel for your voice commands and dictation. Toggle it instantly to ask Natively a private question without muting your meeting software.
- Global activation shortcut (
Cmd+K/Ctrl+K) - Custom Key Bindings: Customize global shortcuts for easier control.
- Instant answer overlay
- Upcoming meeting readiness
- Full Offline RAG: All vector embeddings and retrieval happen locally (SQLite +
sqlite-vec). - Semantic Search: innovative "Smart Scope" detects if you are asking about the current meeting or a past one.
- Sliding-Window RAG: 50-token semantic overlap to prevent context loss across chunk boundaries.
- Epoch Summarization: Smarter transcript memory management instead of hard truncation — no more losing early meeting context.
- Global Knowledge: Ask questions across all your past meetings ("What did we decide about the API last month?").
- Automatic Indexing: Meetings are automatically chunked, embedded, and indexed in the background.
- Undetectable Mode: Instantly hide from dock/taskbar with visually locked selector to prevent state mismatches.
- Cross-Window State Sync: Real-time state synchronization across Settings, Launcher, and Overlay windows.
- Process Disguise (Masquerading): Instantly change the app to look like Terminal, System Settings, Activity Monitor, or other harmless utilities to completely evade detection during screen sharing.
- Security Hardening: API keys are scrubbed from memory on app quit and credentials manager overwrites key data before disposal.
- API Rate Limiting: Token-bucket algorithm (burst/refill) to prevent 429 errors on free-tier providers.
- Local-Only Processing: All data stays on your machine.
Natively includes a powerful, local-first meeting management system to review, search, and manage your entire conversation history.
- Meeting Archives: Access full transcripts of every past meeting, searchable by keywords or dates.
- Smart Export: One-click export of transcripts and AI summaries to Markdown, JSON, or Text—perfect for pasting into Notion, Obsidian, or Slack.
- Usage Statistics: Track your token usage and API costs in real-time. Know exactly how much you are spending on Gemini, OpenAI, or Claude.
- Audio Separation: Distinct controls for System Audio (what they say) vs. Microphone (what you dictate).
- Session Management: Rename, organize, or delete past sessions to keep your workspace clean.

Star this repo if Natively helps you succeed in meetings, interviews, or presentations!
Yes. Natively is an open-source project. You only pay for what you use by bringing your own API keys (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), or use it 100% free by connecting to a local Ollama instance.
Yes. Natively uses a Rust-based system audio capture that works universally across any desktop application, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack, and Discord.
Natively is built on Privacy-by-Design. All transcripts, vector embeddings (Local RAG), and keys are stored locally on your machine. We have no backend and collect only limited basic telemetry (no user data).
Natively is a powerful assistant for any professional situation. However, users are responsible for complying with their company policies and interview guidelines.
Simply install Ollama, run a model (e.g., ollama run llama3), and Natively will automatically detect it. Enable "Ollama" in the AI Providers settings to switch to offline mode.
Cluely is a $20/month cloud-based tool that stores all data on their servers. In mid-2025, Cluely suffered a data breach that exposed personal information, transcripts, and screenshots of 83,000 users. Natively is free, open-source, and stores everything locally. It supports any LLM (not just one vendor), offers local AI via Ollama, and has battle-tested stealth mode. Natively has never had a data breach because there is no server to breach.
Yes. Natively hides from the dock, disguises process names as harmless system utilities (Terminal, Activity Monitor, System Settings), and syncs state across all windows. It has been hardened across five major releases and tested against screen share detection in Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet.
Yes. Natively's screenshot + OCR captures any visible coding problem and returns a full solution through the invisible overlay. It works on LeetCode, HackerRank, CoderPad, Codility, HackerEarth, Karat, and any browser-based coding environment.
For standard online assessments (LeetCode, HackerRank, CoderPad, etc.), Natively is not detectable — it runs as a disguised system process and the overlay never appears in screen recordings or screen shares. It is not designed to bypass dedicated proctoring software like Pearson VUE, ProctorU, or Respondus Lockdown Browser, which operate at the OS level.
Yes. Natively does everything Interview Coder does — screenshot OCR, real-time coding assistance, invisible overlay — and adds behavioral interview support, system design help, local RAG memory, and any-LLM BYOK. All for free.
