04 — Questions
Good to know.
What do I need?
A Mac with macOS 14 or later, a microphone, and the AI apps you already use. Circl is tested on Apple silicon with macOS 15. Intel Macs and other macOS versions have not been tested on hardware yet.
Is it private? What permissions does it need?
Setup asks for Screen Recording (to capture the area you circle), Accessibility (to bring your AI app forward and type into its text box), Microphone and Speech Recognition. Speech is transcribed on your Mac; your audio is never uploaded or saved. The screenshot and your words go only to the AI app you are using, when you let go, and that service handles them under its own policies. Circl has no hosted AI, and Circl’s servers never receive your screenshots or words. See Privacy.
Can I check it before it’s sent?
Yes. Turn on Review before sending in Settings. Your screenshot and words then wait in the text box, and you press Return to send. It’s off by default, so in Claude (the app and claude.ai), plus Codex CLI or Claude Code in Terminal letting go sends right away; elsewhere you press Return.
How do the trial and cancelling work?
Open Circl and click Start 7-day free trial. Checkout finishes in your browser and Circl turns on by itself. To cancel, open Manage billing, or Settings → Manage billing in the app. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your trial or current month.
Is it on the Mac App Store?
No. Circl downloads directly from this site and updates itself. Every release is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.
