Why Choose InterviewCodeAssist Over Final Round AI?
Transcripts never leave your device
Every Live Audio session is encrypted at rest with the OS keychain (Keychain on macOS, DPAPI on Windows). ⌘⇧H opens the searchable archive — full-text search, Markdown / JSON export, never uploaded to our servers.
A real quiet mode for meetings
Final Round AI is built around continuous interview assistance. Toggle ⌘⇧L on InterviewCodeAssist and Live Audio runs as a transcript-only tool — no AI replies firing on every pause. Press ⌘⇧⏎ when you actually want one. Fits stand-ups, design reviews, and customer calls.
Pay only for the week you need
$10/week lets you cover a single onsite loop without committing to a month. Monthly is $30 and annual is $180 ($15/month) if you're in a longer search.
Works on every video conferencing tool
Live Audio captures system audio at the OS level, so it works on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and any other call tool you use. The screenshot path covers HackerRank, CodeSignal, CoderPad, LeetCode and any in-browser take-home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is InterviewCodeAssist different from Final Round AI?
Same core pattern — live AI assistance during interviews. Three meaningful differences: (1) we have a real quiet meeting mode (⌘⇧L) for stand-ups and design reviews so the same app covers your everyday calls, (2) STAR-format behavioral answers and full encrypted local-only transcript history (⌘⇧H), and (3) pricing — $30/month or $10/week instead of monthly-only plans.
Does it capture my microphone?
No. Production builds capture only system audio (the other side of the call coming through your speakers) — never your microphone. Your own voice during a session is not recorded, transcribed, or transmitted anywhere.
How does it stay hidden during screen sharing?
We use OS Content Protection — NSWindowSharingNone on macOS and WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE on Windows — so the assistant window is excluded at the OS level from Zoom, Meet, Teams, and common recording tools. Run our basic checks to verify on your machine before the interview.
Where do my transcripts live?
On your device, encrypted with the OS keychain. ⌘⇧H opens the searchable archive — full-text search across past sessions, export any one to Markdown or JSON. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Can I use my Final Round AI subscription with InterviewCodeAssist?
No, they are separate services with separate billing. Start on our free plan (blurred results, unlimited usage) to verify the live audio flow and screen-share behavior on your machine before switching.
