FAQs

What makes Alter different from other Mac AI tools?

Alter is a native macOS AI assistant that deeply understands your current work context across all apps. It combines screen context with voice commands to trigger complex actions, offers AI model routing for speed, and supports local models for enhanced privacy, setting it apart from chat-based or less integrated solutions.

Can I use Alter with my own AI model API keys or locally?

Yes, Alter allows you to connect your own API keys from providers like OpenAI or Anthropic. It also seamlessly integrates with Ollama and LM Studio for completely local AI processing, ensuring your data stays on your device and enabling offline work.

What happens after the 7-day free trial ends?

After your 7-day trial, you can continue using Alter with all features by connecting your own AI providers or local models for free. You'll see occasional upgrade notifications, but the app remains fully functional. Paid plans remove notifications and offer seamless access to 50+ integrated AI models.

Does Alter support meeting recording and speaker identification?

Yes, Alter can record meetings from any platform (like Zoom) and provide instant smart summaries. It also includes speaker identification, allowing you to chat with the meeting content to unlock insights, with options for cloud or fully local processing.
