Cluely is a desktop app for macOS and Windows 11. Its help center says it does not support Windows 10 and lists macOS Ventura or later, while its download page lists macOS 10.15 or later. Its App Store listing says the iPhone app requires iOS 17.0 or later, and its help center (February 6, 2026) says the iPhone app does not assist with phone calls or mobile video calls yet. Its homepage lists Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, and Slack. OphyAI runs in the browser with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, so there is nothing to install.
Cluely's homepage says it supports over 12 languages. Its help center article on languages (November 5, 2025) lists 6 languages for audio input (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese) and 21 languages for written notes only.

Cluely's help center says it is visible to screen share by default, and its pricing page lists screen-share hiding only on the separate Pro + Undetectability plan ($149.99 a month), not on Starter or Pro (checked September 29, 2026). Its privacy policy (last updated June 10, 2025) says it does not sell or train on your data, and it covers audio recordings, transcriptions, and screenshots you submit or tell it to collect. OphyAI makes no invisibility promise: Whisper Mode is a private picture-in-picture overlay, and what others see depends on your browser, device, and sharing or recording setup. Test your exact setup and follow the interviewer's rules.
Cluely offers a 24-hour refund window with conditions. Its refund policy on cluely.com (last updated April 20, 2025) offers a 24-hour refund only with video evidence that the software does not work on your computer, and no refunds for Windows 10.
