Questions
Personal or Pro: which do I need?
Pick Personal for the menu bar app. It lifts the app’s limits except two: Agents Relay stays at 75 sends a week, and advanced summaries at 8 a month. Pick Pro if you drive Kanary from the command line or AI agents: it adds full-length transcripts through the CLI, unlimited Relay sends, and no monthly cap on advanced summaries.
How do advanced summaries work?
They use the ChatGPT or Claude app already signed in on your Mac, with your own subscription. Kanary sends the transcript to the app you pick, only when you pick it. Each recording counts at most once per calendar month, and regenerating is free.
Is my audio uploaded to your servers?
No. Recording, transcription, Live Captions and caption translation run on your Mac. Audio leaves it only when you export or copy it or turn on iCloud Drive sync. An advanced summary sends only the transcript, to the app you pick. Every plan works the same way.
Is there a recording limit on Free?
No. The full audio is always saved. Free transcribes the first 1 hour 15 minutes, and you can re-transcribe later after upgrading.
Can I switch plans?
Yes. Switch between Personal and Pro from the billing portal on your account page. Moving to Team credits the unused part of your current period to the first Team invoice.
What happens if I cancel?
Kanary keeps working on Free. Your first app hotkey and first input mode stay on, and Enter Guard keeps the one AI app you choose. Full-length transcripts you made on a paid plan stay readable and exportable.
Do you offer refunds?
No. Free lets you try Kanary on as many Macs and for as long as you like. You can cancel anytime and keep access until the end of your billing period.
