For macOS and Windows

Say the right thing, live.

What Sparrow does

A quiet second brain for live conversations.

Keep your attention on the person you’re talking to. Sparrow keeps up with the conversation and has an answer ready when you need one.

Live transcription

Sparrow hears your call through system audio, your microphone or both, and keeps a running transcript as people speak.

It knows a question

Small talk and half-finished sentences are skipped. When someone actually asks something, Sparrow starts writing.

In your own voice

Answers are written in the first person, the way you would say them — short, direct and ready to speak.

A coding agent

Coding questions go to a dedicated agent that explains its approach and writes complete, highlighted code.

Reads long problems

For a problem in a scrolling panel, capture it in parts. Sparrow tells you when it has seen the whole thing.

History stays with you

Transcripts, answers and your notes are saved on your computer. No account, no profile, no cloud history.

Made for live calls

Wherever someone asks you something.

Interviews

Behavioral and technical questions answered in the first person, with a coding agent for problems.

Sales and client calls

Have the answer to a tricky product or pricing question ready while the client is still talking.

Meetings

Follow a fast discussion with a live transcript, and ask Sparrow anything you missed.

Practice

Run mock sessions with a friend or your microphone and hear how a strong answer is structured.

Coding agent

The approach and the code, side by side.

When the question is about code, Sparrow hands it to a coding agent. You get the thinking you’d explain out loud next to the complete solution.

  • Key idea, steps, edge cases and complexity, in the first person
  • Complete code with syntax colors, indentation and one-click copy
  • Your language by default — Python unless you choose another
  • If the problem’s editor uses a different language, Sparrow follows it

def merge(intervals):
    # Sorted by start, overlaps sit side by side.
    intervals.sort(key=lambda it: it[0])
    merged = []
    for start, end in intervals:
        if merged and start <= merged[-1][1]:
            merged[-1][1] = max(merged[-1][1], end)
        else:
            merged.append([start, end])
    return merged

print(merge([[1, 3], [2, 6], [8, 10]]))
# [[1, 6], [8, 10]]
Approach
  1. Key idea: once I sort by start time, any overlap has to be with the last interval I kept.
  2. I walk through once, either extending the last interval or starting a new one.
  3. Edge cases: touching intervals like [1,2] and [2,3] merge, and an empty list returns empty.
  4. Complexity: O(n log n) for the sort, O(n) extra space for the output.
Screen analysis

Long problem? Scroll and capture.

Problem statements often sit in a scrolling panel, so one screenshot cuts them off. Sparrow checks each capture and asks you to scroll until it has seen the examples and constraints. Then it solves the whole problem at once.

How it works

Running in a minute.

Download Sparrow

Install it on your Mac or PC. Your computer gets 20 free minutes the first time it connects.

Start listening

Choose system audio, your microphone or both. Add your role and notes for answers that fit you.

Read, then speak

Answers appear as questions are asked. Type a question or capture your screen any time.

Privacy

Your conversations stay yours.

No accounts, no cloud history and no analytics. Here is exactly where your information goes.

Saved on your computer

Transcripts, answers, session history, your notes and resume are stored only on your computer, in Sparrow’s private folder.

Passed through, never kept

During a session, audio and text go through Sparrow’s server to the speech and AI providers to write answers. Our server doesn’t store or log them.

Nothing to sign up for

No email, password or profile. Your minutes belong to your computer, and Stripe handles payment details — we never see your card.

The privacy policy lists everything our server keeps.

Plans

Pay for the call, not the month.

No subscription. Pay once for a pack, get a code, paste it into Sparrow, and use the minutes across as many sessions as you like. A one-hour call costs $7.98 — less than a month of most subscription tools.

Purchases open soon. Start with 20 free minutes today.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need an account?

No. Download Sparrow and your computer gets 20 free minutes the first time it connects. When you buy more, you get a code to paste into the app. There's no email, password or profile to manage.

Is it a subscription?

No. Minutes come in one-time packs. Nothing renews, and there's nothing to cancel.

What counts as a minute?

Time counts while a session is running — from Start listening until you end it — including any coding problems you solve during it. Browsing history, settings or the home screen is free.

What happens when I run out?

Sparrow warns you before you start a session with less than 30 minutes left. If you reach zero mid-session, the answer being written finishes, then the session ends and you can top up.

Which computers does it run on?

Macs with Apple silicon on macOS 14 Sonoma or later, and 64-bit Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) or Windows 11. It works with any call app — Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack or a phone call through your computer — because it listens to your computer's audio.

Which languages does it understand?

Sparrow transcribes and answers in English today.

Will the other people on the call see Sparrow?

Sparrow runs in its own small window, separate from your call app. On Windows it asks the system to leave its window out of screen captures. On macOS that request isn't honored by every sharing app, so share a specific window rather than your whole screen. No method covers every recording tool.

Where do my conversations go?

To produce answers, audio and text are sent through Sparrow's server to the speech and AI providers. Nothing is stored there. Your transcripts and answers are saved only on your computer.

Does it need the internet?

Yes. Transcription and answers run in the cloud, so Sparrow needs a connection while you use it.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, for a code you haven't added to Sparrow yet, within 14 days of purchase. If something went wrong with Sparrow itself, write to us. The refund policy has the details.

Your next call, with backup.

20 minutes free. No card, no account — just download and start listening.
