FAQ
How does Fluent work?
Fluent's main superpower is the Smart Panel, which you can call in any macOS app. It captures relevant context (selection, clipboard or window content) and can run customizable actions with the AI provider of your choice. You can also use Smart Panel as a standalone tool to chat with documents & pictures, or to prompt any AI model in seconds. For bigger jobs, Fluent works with your files, calendar and apps, plans the steps and can click and type in an app for you.
Do I need to use my own API keys?
No. Sign in with the ChatGPT, Claude or GitHub Copilot plan you already pay for, through Codex, Claude Code or Copilot, or run Apple Intelligence and local models on your Mac for free. API keys work too; on average, users spend under $0.50–1.00 per month on general tasks like translation, grammar fix and summarization using OpenAI's models. Prices may vary depending on provider, model and usage patterns.
How is data privacy handled?
Fluent does not collect, process or store telemetry or any of your data. Fluent does not operate cloud servers, except a license verification one that only verifies your license key in a fully encrypted manner. There is no user authentication via email or any other identifier by design. Fluent stores your History locally, fully encrypted; the Memory you maintain and generated images are stored locally unencrypted.
Is it a one-time purchase? How does licensing work?
Yes. It's a one-time purchase; no subscription required. Basic, Standard and Team come with lifetime upgrades. Basic is also available with 1 year of upgrades for $29; after that, Fluent keeps working forever, but newer versions are not included. You can get lifetime upgrades for $39 at any time in the License Manager, or upgrade to Standard for $68. Licenses are per Mac/seat: Basic covers 1 Mac, Standard covers 2 Macs, Team starts at 3 Macs.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. A standard 14-day refund guarantee applies, without any questions. Fluent also includes a 7-day free trial.
Can I run local models for privacy?
Yes. Fluent supports Apple Intelligence and any OpenAI-compatible providers such as Ollama or LM Studio, and natively supports local MLX models you can download straight away. Configure them in Settings → Models.
Is MCP supported?
Yes. Fluent has 16 built-in integrations (Finder, Calendar, Reminders, Notes, Web Search, Computer Use, YouTube, Maps and more) and a catalog of 20,000+ external MCP servers. Fluent also allows creating custom tools within its built-in integrations.
