Fluent is a powerful AI writing assistant designed exclusively for macOS that integrates seamlessly with any application on your Mac. Using its innovative Smart Panel feature, Fluent provides instant access to AI-powered writing assistance without disrupting your workflow or requiring you to switch between apps. The application supports over 500 AI models including OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, Grok, and local models through MLX, giving users complete flexibility in choosing their preferred AI provider while maintaining data privacy.
Do I need my own API keys to use Fluent? Yes, Fluent requires users to provide their own API keys from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. This approach is cost-effective (averaging $0.50-1.00 per month for typical usage) and ensures your data remains private since Fluent does not operate cloud servers.
Is Fluent a subscription service? No, Fluent offers a one-time purchase with lifetime upgrades. Basic license ($49) covers 1 Mac, Standard ($69) covers 2 Macs, and Team licenses start at $29 per seat for 3+ Macs.
How does Fluent handle data privacy? Fluent does not collect, process, or store telemetry or any user data. History is stored locally and fully encrypted. The only cloud connection is for license verification which only identifies your machine without any personal information.
Can I run local models for complete privacy? Yes, Fluent supports Apple Intelligence, Ollama, LM Studio, and native local MLX models. You can run AI completely offline without any data leaving your machine.
What macOS version is required? Fluent requires macOS 14.2 or later and supports both Apple Silicon and Intel-based Macs with a 7-day free trial available.
