About

What ClapAssist is, and what it will never be

ClapAssist is an AI interview assistant: a desktop app for Mac and Windows that listens to your live video interview on your own computer and shows you what to say, written from your own resume. This page says plainly who makes it, how it is paid for, and where the limits are.

Support answers by email and WhatsApp. No chatbots, no ticket numbers.
The product

One small bar above your interview call

ClapAssist runs on Mac and Windows. During a video interview on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or any other call, it hears the question, reads your resume and the job description, and shows a short answer: one sentence to say first, then the points behind it. Only you see it. The window is left out of screen shares and recordings by the operating system itself, and the app never joins the call, so nothing new appears in the participant list.

Every account starts with 10 free minutes, one time, with no card asked for. After the 10 free minutes: Practice for one interview (120 minutes), or a Sprint or Job Hunt for unlimited use inside a 14- or 30-day window. Every plan, including Free, is hidden from screen share. Pay once. Nothing renews. The full plan list is on the pricing page.

Who makes it

A small independent team, not a funded startup

ClapAssist is built and supported by a small team that started it as FreeLY in 2026 and renamed it ClapAssist in August 2026. The same people write the app, answer support and make the pricing decisions. There is no sales team and no investor deck. The business is paid for by the plans people buy.

Because interviews happen on a schedule, support is meant to be fast and human. Write to support@clapassist.com or message WhatsApp +91 92298 81892. Say which system you are on, what you clicked and what happened.

What we save, and what we never store

Your live interview is never recorded

  • Interview audio and screenshots are used to make the answer and are never stored on our servers.
  • Your resume, the job description and your notes are saved to your account, so the app fills them in on any computer.
  • After each call, a short written recap and the interview transcript are saved to your account too. You can switch transcripts off in Settings.
  • Delete any of it anytime in the app's Settings.
  • Payments are handled by the payment provider, not by us. We never see your card number.
  • You see minutes, never tokens or model costs. Minutes are counted only while the app is actively listening to a call.

Straight answer

What it does not do

  • It is not a way around locked-down coding assessment platforms such as HackerRank or CoderPad. Those tools watch window focus and keystrokes from inside their own page.
  • It is not for in-person interviews. There is no screen to hide it on.
  • It is not a meeting-notes product, and it does not join calls as a bot.
  • It does not replace preparation. The preparation guide and the answer guides exist because a good answer still has to be yours.

How the guides and tools are written

Every guide on this site is written and checked by the ClapAssist team. Competitor prices on the comparison pages are read from the vendor's own pricing page and carry the date they were read. We do not publish statistics we cannot source, and every comparison page includes a section saying where the other tool is the better choice. If you find something wrong, email support and it gets fixed.

Each page links only to the pages that help with its own topic, inside the sentence where that topic comes up. We dropped the long rows of links at the foot of every page in October 2026. Every guide is listed on the guides page, every post on the blog, and every free app on the free tools page.

Answer engines and crawlers are welcome. The product facts are kept in plain text at /llms.txt.

Questions

Questions people ask

Is ClapAssist a company or a person?

A small independent team. The same people build the app, answer support and set the prices. It is paid for by the plans customers buy, not by investors.

How do I contact ClapAssist?

Email support@clapassist.com or message WhatsApp +91 92298 81892. Say which system you use, what you clicked and what happened, and you get a human reply.

Does ClapAssist store my resume or my interview audio?

Your interview audio: no. It is used to make the answer and is never stored, and neither are screenshots. Your resume, job description and notes are saved to your account so the app fills them in on any computer, and so are the short written recap and the transcript of each call. You can switch transcripts off in Settings and delete any of it anytime.

Is there a subscription?

No. Every plan is paid once and never renews. The free plan is 10 minutes once per account with no card.

Where did FreeLY go?

FreeLY was the earlier name of the same product. It became ClapAssist in August 2026. Accounts and purchases carried over.

Install it, run a mock call with a friend, and check their screen: the window is not there.
