InterviewCodeAssist
vs LockedIn AI

The LockedIn AI alternative built for interviews and meetings.

Same live-audio interview copilot pattern — desktop app, captures the other side from your system audio, screen-share excluded. Three differences that matter: a real quiet mode for ordinary meetings (⌘⇧L), STAR-format behavioral answers grounded in your resume + JD, and full transcripts encrypted on your device with OS keychain — never uploaded. Plus pricing that fits a single interview week ($10) instead of a $41.24 monthly minimum.

Why us

Get truly locked in with InterviewCodeAssist

01

A real quiet mode for meetings

LockedIn AI is built around continuous live assistance — useful in interviews, noisy in everyday meetings. Toggle ⌘⇧L and Live Audio runs as a transcript-only tool with no AI replies firing on every pause; press ⌘⇧⏎ to fire an answer when you actually want one. Designed for stand-ups, design reviews, and sales calls where you want a record plus an occasional assist, not constant suggestions.

02

Transcripts never leave your device

Every Live Audio session is auto-saved 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. Transcript text is sent to our AI provider only at the moment you ask for an answer, never stored or used to train models.

03

Friendlier pricing for short cycles

Onsite loop next week and you only need help for one week? $10. Long search? $30/month or $180/year ($15/month). LockedIn AI starts at $41.24/month with their UNLOCK25 code or $29.99/month on a 3-month commitment — fine if you're going long-term, painful for a single interview week. Plus a free tier with blurred results and unlimited usage so you can verify the app works on your machine before paying anything.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How is InterviewCodeAssist different from LockedIn AI?

Same core pattern — desktop app, captures system audio, AI assistance during the call, screen-share excluded. Three meaningful differences: (1) we have a real quiet meeting mode (⌘⇧L) for stand-ups and design reviews, (2) STAR-format behavioral answers and full encrypted local-only transcript history (⌘⇧H), and (3) pricing — $30/month or $10/week vs $41.24/month or a 3-month commitment.

02

Which one is cheaper?

It depends on your timeline. LockedIn AI is $41.24/month (with their UNLOCK25 code) or $29.99/month on a 3-month plan. InterviewCodeAssist is $30/month flat, $10 for a single week, or $180/year ($15/month billed annually). For a single interview cycle the $10/week tier is the bigger differentiator.

03

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. This is intentional and matches how LockedIn AI also operates.

04

How do I verify screen-share safety before my interview?

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. Our basic checks page walks you through verifying the behavior on your machine before the interview.

05

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. The transcript text is sent to the AI provider only at the moment you ask for an answer.

06

Is there a free trial?

Yes — the free plan runs every feature with unlimited usage and blurred output, so you can verify the live audio capture, screen-share exclusion, and the local history work on your setup before paying anything.
