Controlled macOS beta

A careful path from demo to desktop.

Explore the browser demonstration today. Native macOS builds are distributed directly to invited testers while audio setup and reliability are validated.

macOS first evidence-grounded user-controlled permitted use only

Lyrebird is a working macOS prototype in controlled-beta preparation. The browser demonstration shows the core interaction, while the native app adds selected-device audio capture, desktop window behavior, global controls, and macOS permissions.

Native builds are not yet offered as an unrestricted public download. This protects testers from receiving a build before setup guidance, audio routing, signing, and recovery paths are sufficiently verified.

Before installing

Invited testers should expect a guided setup and a mock-interview protocol rather than using the product first in a high-stakes interview.

  • A supported Mac and current macOS version.
  • Microphone permission for the selected input.
  • Screen Recording permission only when using coding capture.
  • A compatible audio-routing setup when testing interviewer audio.
  • Agreement to use mock interviews or explicitly permitted assistance.

What you can explore now

The browser demonstration lets you inspect answer controls, evidence grounding, response styles, and the current sandbox account flow. It is a product demonstration and fallback reference, not the production platform.

What remains before public release

The roadmap still requires real-world interviewer-audio verification, controlled mock sessions, repeated reliability evidence, production policy review, and live-billing readiness before a broader launch.

Questions, answered plainly.

Why is there no public DMG link?

The controlled beta still requires guided setup and reliability verification. Builds are distributed directly to invited testers.

Can I use the browser demo instead?

Yes, for exploring the interaction and practicing with typed or microphone prompts. It does not reproduce every native desktop capability.

Is billing live?

No. Stripe remains in sandbox and the displayed configurations are not live charges.

Bring the experience. Find the words.

Explore the working demonstration and see how Lyrebird shapes a clearer place to begin without upgrading the evidence.
