Think out loud.
Ship the fix.

A Mac app that listens while you talk through a bug, ranks the likely causes, and hands you the cheapest next check. When you are done, it writes the standup.

Free, on your own OpenAI key. No account, no card. macOS 11 and up, signed and notarized by Apple.

Listening. Say what is going wrong.

How it works

Three things happen in one session.

You do the first one. FRIGG does the other two, and stays out of the way in between.

Press Start

You talk.

Say what is going wrong while you are still confused. The microphone opens on Start and closes on Stop, and silence never reaches a model, so a whole day open costs cents.

One tap

It reads the screen.

Root causes, Next step or Recap reads the transcript and one screenshot of what is in front of you. The answer is about the error on your screen, not your summary of it.

Press Stop

You get the notes.

Recap turns the session into notes and a standup draft you can paste into Slack. Go quiet for a minute and the window becomes your pet, napping in the corner, still listening.

Try it here

Say a bug out loud. Right here.

Talk to this page the way you would talk to FRIGG. The answer comes from the same model and the same prompt the app uses. The app also reads your screen; this page cannot.

Press the mic and talk, or type.
The answer lands here. Ranked causes, or the single next step.

Speech counted while the mic is on: 0.0s. Silence is dropped before it reaches a model, which is why a day with the app open costs cents.

Compared with what you do now.

Same bug, three ways to talk it through.

Built to sit next to your editor all day.

A small window, quiet by default, and off the record from the first launch.

Recap

The notes write themselves.

Press Stop and Recap turns the whole session into notes and a standup draft. If you spent the hours building with Claude Code and said little out loud, it can read that log too, with your permission, and write the notes from what you built.

Standup draft · Thu 09:12from a 48 min session
Yesterday

Chased the CI-only one-hour drift on created_at. Root cause was a naive datetime.now() written into a tz-aware column; CI runs in UTC and my shell does not. Fixed the fixture, not the model.

Today

Audit the other naive timestamps in models/. Two more suspects in the export job.

Blocked

Nothing.

Your pet

Draw your own desk buddy.

Describe it in your own words and FRIGG draws it. Go quiet for a minute and the window becomes that pet, napping in the corner. Click it to come back.

Detectable

Off the record, from the first launch.

macOS hides the FRIGG window from screen shares, recordings and screenshots. You still see it on your own display. Flip Detectable on when you want to show it off.

Free. Bring your own OpenAI key.

One plan. FRIGG costs nothing; it runs on your own OpenAI key, and OpenAI bills you directly for what you use.

$0plus what OpenAI charges your key

Free, with your own key

Every feature, no session limit, no account. Your voice, screen and notes go from your Mac straight to OpenAI.

On first launch: paste a key from platform.openai.com. FRIGG checks it once and keeps it encrypted on your Mac. Then draw your pet. FRIGG Pro is not sold right now; if you already have it, it keeps working.

Download for Mac

Install

Open the DMG and drag FRIGG into Applications.

Open it

macOS asks once whether to open an app downloaded from the internet; click Open. The app is signed and notarized, so there is no unidentified-developer block. Allow the microphone when asked.

Add your key, then draw your pet

Paste an OpenAI API key from platform.openai.com. FRIGG checks it once and keeps it encrypted on your Mac. No account, no card.

Then say what your desk buddy should be, in your own words, and FRIGG draws it.

Questions

How is this different from typing the problem into ChatGPT or Claude?
You speak instead of typing, so describing the bug costs you nothing and you do it while you are still confused. FRIGG also takes one screenshot when you ask, so the answer is about the error actually on your screen rather than your summary of it. And it keeps the whole session: at the end there are notes and a standup draft, which a chat window does not give you.
Does FRIGG listen all the time?
No. The microphone opens when you press Start and closes when you press Stop. Silence is dropped before it reaches any model, so leaving the app open all day costs cents. It never listens because the app is merely open.
What leaves my Mac?
With your own key, your audio, prompts, the relevant transcript and any screenshot you ask about go from your Mac straight to OpenAI, on your key; none of it passes through us. We do not store transcripts, prompts, answers, audio or screenshots. If you sign in to an existing FRIGG account instead of using a key, prompts pass through our API to OpenAI, and what we keep for that account is your email, your subscription status from Stripe, usage counters, and the words you typed to describe your pet. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
Do I need my own OpenAI API key?
Yes. FRIGG is free and runs on your own OpenAI key, which you paste in on first launch. It is checked once and kept encrypted on your Mac, and OpenAI bills you directly for what you use.
