How can we help?

Savyly is a desktop app. It needs:

• Mac: Apple silicon (M1 or newer) and macOS 13 Ventura or later. Intel Macs aren't supported.
• Windows: Windows 10 (version 1809 or newer) or 11, 64-bit. To stay hidden on screen share, Windows 10 needs version 2004 or newer, which almost every PC already has.
• Internet: answers come from the internet, so Savyly needs a connection while you use it.

Savyly doesn't run on phones or tablets.

Not sure which Mac you have? Click the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. If Chip says Apple M1 (or M2, M3, M4…), you're good.

1. Agree to the Terms. Tick I agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy and click Continue. Your free trial is ready.
2. Allow access (Mac only). On Get started, click Allow next to each permission, then switch Savyly on in the list that opens. It's already in the list, so there's no need for +.
   • Accessibility lets your Savyly keys work in every app.
   • Screen & System Audio Recording (called Screen Recording on older macOS) lets Savyly read your screen and hear your computer's sound. Use the list at the top, not “System Audio Recording Only”. After switching it on, click Restart assistant (or Stop assistant, then Start assistant).
   The first time Savyly listens, macOS asks to let Savyly use the microphone, so it hears your side too: click Allow.
3. Nothing to allow on Windows. Savyly works right away.
4. Click Start assistant. It usually takes a few seconds. When it's ready, the Savyly window closes and the floating window appears near the top of your screen.
5. Press ⌘⇧SpaceShiftSpace in any app to show or hide it.

Two windows, one app

• The floating window is the small dark window where you ask and get answers. It floats over your apps.
• The Savyly window has Get started, Modes, Phone, Shortcuts, Plans and Help. Open it any time by opening Savyly again from Applications or Spotlightthe Start menu.

Savyly has no Dock icontaskbar button and no menu bar icontray icon, so nothing shows until you press ⌘⇧SpaceShiftSpace.

Press ⌘⇧SpaceShiftSpace to show Savyly, then ask in any of three ways:

The answer starts in a second or two. Press Esc to stop it, and ⌘⇧SpaceShiftSpace to hide Savyly.

• Show or hide: press ⌘⇧SpaceShiftSpace in any app, or click — at the top right.
• Move it: drag it by its top bar, or press ⌃arrowsAltarrows while it's on screen. The arrows can carry it onto another monitor.
• Where it opens: each time the assistant starts, near the top of your main screen.
• Over your apps: Savyly stays on top of every app, including Zoom, Meet, Teams, browsers and VS Code, and over apps in full screen.
• At the top you see your plan and time left (for example Trial · 12:34 left), the mode, and whether listening is on.
• ⏻ at the top right quits the assistant (it asks first).

• Click Ask anything…, type or paste anything (a question, code, an email) and press Enter. Shift+Enter adds a new line.
• Add a picture: copy a screenshot (⌘⌃⇧4ShiftS copies part of your screen), click the question box and press ⌘VCtrlV. Savyly shows Clipboard image attached and sends it with your next question.
• Follow-ups: Savyly remembers the chat, so “and its time complexity?” just works.
• New chat: press ⌘KCtrlK or type /new when you change topic. Answers get faster and more focused.

See a question on your screen, like a coding problem, a slide or an error? Press ⌘⇧↩ShiftEnter. Savyly reads your screen and answers it, code included.

• It reads the screen your mouse pointer is on. With two monitors, move the pointer onto the question first.
• Savyly hides itself for a moment so it isn't in the picture. That blink is normal.
• Want something specific? Type a short note first, like “only the second question”, then press ⌘⇧↩ShiftEnter.

On a Mac this needs Screen & System Audio Recording to be on for Savyly.

A long question that doesn't fit on one screen, a problem in several parts, or code and its output? Add each page, then ask once.

• On each page, press ⌃⇧↩CtrlShiftEnter. Savyly takes a picture and shows 📎 2 screens above the question box. Nothing is answered yet.
• On the last page (up to 10), press ⌘⇧↩ShiftEnter. Savyly reads them in order and answers them all together. The same page is never sent twice, so it doesn't matter whether you added the last one too.
• Or open Savyly and press Enter in the question box. You can type a question about them first, like “which approach is fastest?”.
• While listening, ⌘↩Enter sends them with what was said.
• Changed your mind? Click ✕ clear.
• It's Ctrl on both Mac and Windows (Control on a Mac), not ⌘ or the Windows key.

While listening is on, Savyly hears both sides: your computer's sound (🎧, the other side of a call, a class or a video) and your microphone (🎙, you). What each side says shows live under the title bar, so answers build on what you already said instead of repeating it.

1. Listening starts with Savyly. You see moving bars at the top of the floating window: 🎧 the other side, 🎙 you. If it's off, turn it on with ⌘⇧LShiftL, or click ○ listening off.
2. Right after a question is asked, press ⌘↩Enter. Savyly answers it.
3. Turn it off the same way when you're done. Listening keeps running until you turn it off.

• Each question is answered once. Each press sends only what was said since your last press. Press again with nothing new and Savyly says Nothing new heard since the last answer: press it right after the next question.
• Auto, next to the bars: Savyly answers by itself about a second after the other side finishes a question. It also takes a picture of your screen then, and sends it with the question only if the screen changed a lot since the last one it sent. Turn Auto on or off any time.
• Only the call, not you? Turn off Listening hears my microphone too on Get started in the Savyly window. Savyly then hears only your computer's sound, straight away.
• 📋 Interview report: when the interview is over and you turn listening off, click See how you did (or type /report). You get each question with what you said, a stronger answer, what went well, what to fix and what to revise.
• ⌘↩Enter only works while listening is on. When listening is off, the key belongs to your other apps again.
• English, Hindi and a mix of both are understood.
• Savyly hears everything your computer plays, so pause music and other videos during a call.
• Headphones and AirPods are fine. Listening needs Screen & System Audio Recording to be on for Savyly, and Microphone allowed for your side (macOS asks the first time).
• Savyly hears your default speakers or headphones. In Zoom, Teams or Meet, set the speaker to the same device (or “Same as System”). Your side comes from your default microphone; if Windows blocks it, turn on Settings → Privacy & security → Microphone → Let desktop apps access your microphone.

1. Open the Phone page in the Savyly window, or type /phone in the floating window.
2. Scan the QR code with your phone's camera. No camera handy? Open savyly.com/phone on the phone and type the 6-digit code.
3. Pick where answers show: Laptop only, Phone only (the floating window stays out of the way) or Both.

• Voice, Screen and Deep on the phone do what your keys do. Copy to laptop under a code block puts that code on your laptop's clipboard.
• Android: tap Install. iPhone: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. It opens full screen, stays awake and reconnects by itself, in portrait or landscape.
• If the phone disconnects, answers show on the laptop until it's back.
• Paired with the QR code, everything is encrypted end to end: the key never leaves your two devices, so not even Savyly's server can read your answers. The 6-digit code hands the key over through Savyly's server, so the QR code is the private way. Codes are short-lived and work once.

• Answers stream in as they're written, usually starting within a second or two.
• Scroll with ⌘↑Ctrl↑ ⌘↓Ctrl↓ without leaving your app, or with your mouse. Scroll up while it's writing and a ↓ New text button takes you back down.
• Copy code with the Copy button on each code block.
• Stop an answer with Esc, from any app.
• Cut off? If Savyly says the answer hit the length limit, type continue.
• Code language: Java by default. Choose another (Python, C++ and more) in the Savyly window → Modes, then Save changes.

Practise before the real one. Savyly asks one question at a time and reads it aloud. After each answer it tells you what worked, what to fix and a stronger way to say it, and at the end you get a scorecard.

• Start: Savyly window → Get started → Practice an interview → Start practice. Or type /practice in the floating window: /practice hr, /practice technical, /practice dsa or /practice system design, and a number of questions if you like (/practice hr 3).
• Answer out loud, then press ⌘↩Enter. Or type your answer and press Enter. For a coding question you can also press ⌘⇧↩ShiftEnter to send the code on your screen.
• It uses your resume and the company and job description from Modes, so the questions fit the job you're going for.
• /practice end finishes early with a scorecard for the questions you answered. /new stops it.
• Questions are read with your computer's own voice. Turn that off with Read questions aloud in the Practice card.
• Practice uses your plan's time, like any answer.

A mode decides how Savyly answers. Switch any time: click the mode at the top of the floating window, type /mode (for example /mode sales), or open the Savyly window → Modes, click a mode and click Use.

Your resume and documents

• In Modes, add your resume and up to 3 documents to a mode: a job description, product sheet, slides or notes. Savyly answers from them.
• PDF, Word (.docx), .txt and .md files work, up to 25 MB. The first 15,000 characters of each are used. Older .doc, Pages or Google Docs files: save them as PDF or .docx first. Scanned pages need to be text, not pictures.
• Savyly keeps a copy of the text. After you edit your resume, click Replace resume so Savyly uses the new one.
• They stay on your computer.

Custom

Write your own instructions in Modes → Custom and save. They replace Savyly's built-in style completely, so mention the code language you want in them. Choose Fast or Deep for its speed.

Deep thinks longer before it answers, for the hardest problems. It's used by Deep Code, and by Technical Interview, System Design, Lectures & Study, Debug & Review and Custom when you set them to Deep in Modes (they start as Fast). Every plan includes a Deep allowance, and bigger plans include more. A Deep answer that has started always finishes; when the allowance is used up, the other modes keep working.

• Deep can take a few minutes on the hardest problems. For live calls, use any other mode: they answer in seconds.
• In a Deep mode, click the ✦ High ⌄ chip in the question box to choose how hard it thinks: Low, Medium, High or Max. Lower levels answer sooner. The chip also shows how much of your plan's Deep you've used.
• Typed questions and screen answers use Deep. Answers to what's said (⌘↩Enter) always come fast, even in a Deep mode.
• When your plan's Deep is used up, Savyly tells you. Every other mode keeps working, and you can get more Deep in Plans.

Type / in the question box to see every command. Use ↑ ↓ to choose and Enter to pick.

The floating window is marked private, so when you share your screen or record, apps like Zoom, Google Meet and Teams show what's behind Savyly, not Savyly. Its menus are drawn inside it, so they stay hidden too.

• Only the floating window is hidden. The Savyly window (Plans, Modes, Help), the payment page and your system's own pop-ups can be seen. Don't open them while sharing.
• Start the assistant before you start sharing, and avoid resting your mouse on Savyly's buttons, since their little tips can show.
• Windows 10 older than version 2004 can't hide windows fully, so Savyly shows as a black box there and your answers stay private. Update Windows to hide it completely.
• It depends on your system and the other app, so it isn't guaranteed. Test before an important call with the app you'll use: record your screen (QuickTime Player → File → New Screen RecordingSnipping Tool → Record) or join a test meeting from your phone, and check that Savyly isn't there.

Before a call that matters, Test my setup checks in about half a minute that Savyly is ready:

1. Savyly's server: that Savyly can reach it.
2. Your microphone: that it hears you. Say something when it asks, like “testing, one, two, three”.
3. This computer's sound: it plays a short sentence through your speakers and checks that it hears it, so it will hear the other side of a call.
4. Screen share: it tells you how to check it. Start a test meeting from your phone, share your screen, and check that Savyly isn't in it.

Start the assistant first, then click Test my setup on Get started in the Savyly window, or type /test in the floating window. If listening was off, Savyly turns it on for the test and off again after.

Hold the first keys together, then tap the last one. The Savyly window → Shortcuts always shows your current keys.

Keys stay out of your way

• The answer-what's-said key only works while listening is on. The rest of the time it does what it normally does in your apps (like Run on LeetCode or Send in Gmail).
• The scroll and move keys only work while Savyly is on screen. When it's hidden, your apps get them back.
• Esc stops an answer from any app, and the app in front still gets its Esc too.
• The other keys belong to Savyly while it's running, including ⌃⇧↩CtrlShiftEnter (Excel uses it for array formulas).

• Every plan is a one-time payment. Nothing renews and there's nothing to cancel.
• Every plan includes all features, including Deep.
• Prices are in rupees and include all taxes.
• Buy a second Sprint or Marathon before the first ends, and the new one starts when the current one finishes.

• Free trial: only real use counts: minutes when Savyly is on screen and in use, answering, or listening. Hide it and turn listening off when you're not using it.
• Spark and Focus (hour packs): every minute the assistant is running counts, even while it's hidden and whether or not you ask anything. Click Stop assistant when you're done.
• Sprint and Marathon: unlimited until the plan ends.
• Time is counted by the minute, not per question: many questions in one minute count as one minute.
• Have both an unlimited plan and an hour pack? The unlimited plan is used first, and the hour pack's 30 days only start once the unlimited time ends.

See your time left at the top of the floating window, in the Savyly window → Plans, or by typing /plans. Keep an eye on it before an important session.

1. Open the Savyly window → Plans and click Buy on the plan you want. (Typing /buy in the floating window opens Plans.)
2. Enter your email and a 10-digit Indian mobile number for the receipt, and tick I agree to the Terms. Click Continue to payment.
3. A secure Razorpay page opens in your browser. Pay with UPI, card or netbanking.
4. Come back to Savyly. It shows Payment received, usually within a minute, and your plan is ready.

Your receipts, with their payment IDs, are in Plans → Your purchases. Razorpay also emails you a receipt. Paying from outside India? Email us first.

• Use a code: open the Savyly window → Plans, type it under Have a code? and click Apply. Its free minutes show under your plan.
• Invite a friend: on Plans, under Invite a friend, click Copy invite and send it. Your friend gets 15 free minutes with your code.
• What you get: 15 minutes when your friend starts using Savyly (after their third answer), and 30 more when they buy their first plan, or an hour if it's Sprint or Marathon.
• A friend's code is for someone new to Savyly who hasn't bought a plan, once per computer. Your own code doesn't work on your computer.
• Free minutes from codes count like the free trial, only while you use Savyly, and last 30 days.
• Invite rewards are limited to 10 in any 30 days. Plans shows how many friends used your code and the minutes you've earned, never who they are.

Your plan and free trial belong to the computer you use them on. There's no account or password to remember.

To move a plan, install Savyly on the new computer and open it once. Then email support@savyly.com from the email you paid with, and paste Copy diagnostics from the new computer (Savyly window → Help).

If Savyly doesn't work on your computer, or you don't get the time you paid for because of a problem on our side, we fix it. If we can't, we refund you:

• Savyly doesn't work on a supported computer and we can't fix it: a full refund.
• Your plan didn't start after you paid: we start it, or refund you.
• You lost paid time because of a fault on our side: we give it back, or refund that part.
• You were charged twice: we refund the extra charge.
• A failed answer gives its minute back automatically.

Time you've used and a change of mind aren't refunded, so please try the free trial first. Email support@savyly.com within 7 days with the payment ID (from Plans or Razorpay's email) and Copy diagnostics (Savyly window → Help). Read the full Refund & Cancellation policy.

• When a new version is out, the Savyly window shows Update to … above Start assistant, a few seconds after it opens. Click it. Savyly downloads the new version, installs it and opens again. If the assistant was running, it starts again too.
• Your settings, plan and permissions stay. There's nothing to allow again.
• Or type savyly update in TerminalCommand Prompt.
• Your version is shown at the bottom left of the Savyly window. Click Check for updates next to it to check right away, or type /update in the floating window.
• On version 0.3.1 or older? Those can't update themselves. Download Savyly once from savyly.com and install it over the old one (stop the assistant first, then drag it to Applications and choose Replace). After that, updates come through the button.

• To stop: open the Savyly window and click Stop assistant, or click ⏻ in the floating window and choose Quit.
• Hiding the floating window doesn't stop Savyly; it keeps running in the background.
• Savyly doesn't start by itself when you turn on your computer. Open it and click Start assistant when you need it.
• On an hour pack (Spark or Focus), always stop the assistant when you're done, so your minutes aren't used.

Prefer typing? In the Savyly window → Get started, under Use Terminal instead, click Set up the savyly command. Then open a new Terminal window and type:

The installer sets up the savyly command for you. Open a new Command Prompt or PowerShell window and type:

1. Optional: to remove your resume, documents, custom instructions, saved payment details, chat history and logs first, open the Savyly window → Help → Delete my data.
2. Click Stop assistant and close the Savyly window.
3. In Finder, open Applications and drag Savyly to the Bin.
4. Open Settings → Apps, find Savyly and choose Uninstall. Windows asks whether to delete your Savyly data too: choose Yes to remove everything, or No to keep it for later.

Your plan stays linked to your computer, so if you install Savyly again later, it's still there. To delete what our server keeps (your plan and payment records), email us.

• Savyly sends something only to answer you: your typed question, your screen when you press ⌘⇧↩ShiftEnter (or the screens you added with ⌃⇧↩CtrlShiftEnter), or what was said when you press ⌘↩Enter, along with your mode's documents and the recent chat.
• It's sent securely to create your answer. Our server doesn't store it, and our providers don't use it for training. While listening is on, the sound goes to our speech-to-text providers in the same way.
• With Auto on, Savyly answers by itself when the other side finishes a question. It also takes a picture of your screen then. The picture goes with the question only if the screen changed a lot since the last one sent; otherwise it's thrown away.
• Savyly hears your microphone only while listening is on, to know what you've already said. Nothing is saved; only the last few minutes stay in your computer's memory. To hear only your computer's sound, turn off Listening hears my microphone too on Get started in the Savyly window.
• On your phone (Savyly → Phone), pair with the QR code and everything between your laptop and your phone is encrypted end to end: the key never leaves your devices, so Savyly's server passes it along but can't read it. The 6-digit code hands the key over through Savyly's server instead.
• Your chats are saved as notes only on your computer (in ~/Library/Application Support/savyly/sessions). Delete my data removes them.
• If Savyly hits an error, it sends a crash report: what failed and where in its code, with the app version and your system. Never your questions, screen, sound, documents or personal details. Turn it off in the Savyly window → Help → Send crash reports.
