ARM64 and Intel Builds
Compiled natively for ARM64 (M1 through M4) with a separate x86_64 build for Intel Macs, both signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.
Native Apple Silicon & Intel
Best AI Interview Assistant for macOS
Built natively for macOS with separate Apple Silicon and Intel builds, OS-level capture exclusion, streamed talk tracks, and a floating practice overlay.
Mac Integration
Built Specifically for macOS Workflows
A native Rust desktop application designed to sit beside your editor and call.
Window Sharing Type
The overlay's window sharing type is set to none with window-server capture exclusion so sharing tools that honor it leave your practice overlay out of Zoom and Meet display streams.
Configurable Keyboard Shortcuts
Capture a question, toggle the overlay, and switch type-through mode with Cmd + Option letter shortcuts by default; every shortcut is configurable in the app.
Quiet Mobile Companion
Pair your iPhone or iPad over your local network with a QR code to control the overlay while your hands stay on the keyboard.
macOS FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions for Mac Users
Details on macOS compatibility, permissions, and capture exclusion.
Is ClawPad natively compiled for Apple Silicon Macs?
Yes. ClawPad ships separate Developer ID-signed and notarized DMGs for Apple Silicon (ARM64) and Intel (x86_64) Macs; the download page recommends the one for your machine.
What macOS permissions are required for practice?
Screen Recording permission lets ClawPad capture the practice question on your screen. Microphone permission is requested only if you enable voice features. The Prepare for interview check shows exactly which permissions are granted before a session.
How does capture exclusion work on macOS?
ClawPad sets its overlay window's sharing type to none and applies window-server capture exclusion, so screen-sharing tools that honor those settings leave the overlay out of a consent-based practice share. Coverage varies by sharing tool, which is why the readiness check and a test meeting come first.
