Documentation·76 pages
The assistant that listens, explained page by page.
Natively hears your meeting, sees your screen, and answers in real time — no bot in the call, nothing on the screen share. These pages cover installation, every feature and setting, privacy, and the fixes for what goes wrong.
Get set up
What Natively is, how to install it on macOS or Windows, and the shortcuts that run it.
Use it live
Asking mid-conversation, the nine modes, screen OCR, and memory that carries between meetings.
Fix a problem
Screen-share leaks, Gatekeeper warnings, missing audio — the things that actually go wrong.
How it behaves
Three properties that everything else in these docs follows from.
It answers where you are looking
The reply renders in a floating overlay that Zoom, Meet and Teams leave out of a screen share.
Read moreIt is already listening
System audio and your microphone are captured as two channels from the first hello, under half a second behind the room.
Read moreNothing leaves unasked
Transcription, memory and files stay on your disk. Only the prompt crosses the network — and with Ollama, not even that.
