Why look for a Natively alternative?
The free license is for personal use
Natively’s free version is licensed for personal, educational and non-commercial use. Using it in sales calls, client meetings or interviews you run for your company needs written permission.
A 900 MB browser on your work Mac
Natively is an Electron app — the macOS download is about 900 MB because it carries its own copy of Chrome — and it asks for screen recording to read your screen.
Hard to approve for IT and security
It can disguise itself as Terminal, System Settings or Activity Monitor, its installers are named after system processes, and Pro can be unlocked by holding a crypto token. Great for stealth — hard to sign off at a company.
Built around job interviews
Résumé and job-description awareness, salary negotiation, coding-site screenshots — Natively’s Pro is made for candidates. Sales, recruiting and property teams need different workflows.

Questions
What is the best Natively alternative for work?
Realtimer: it’s free for commercial use, a 1.5 MB native Mac app that needs only microphone and system-audio access, stays hidden from screen sharing, and answers from your company’s documents with call briefs and custom vocabulary. Teams can upgrade to Pro and Team plans.
Can I use Natively at work for free?
Natively’s free version is licensed for personal, educational, research and non-commercial use. Its license defines commercial use broadly — including internal business use, client work, agency and startup use — and that requires written permission from Natively AI. Realtimer Free can be used at work.
Does Natively have more features than Realtimer?
For personal use, yes — its free version includes screenshots, auto-answer, local models and Windows. Realtimer is built differently: a lighter, transparent Mac app for work, with Pro adding screenshots and AI included without keys.
Can I reuse my API keys from Natively?
Yes. Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Groq and OpenRouter keys work in Realtimer as they are — up to 10 per service. For transcription, add a free Deepgram key.
Is Realtimer hidden from screen sharing too?
Yes, on every plan. The Realtimer window is excluded from screen sharing, recordings and screenshots, and no bot joins your call. Realtimer doesn’t disguise itself as a system process, so your IT team can see what’s installed.
Is there a Windows version of Realtimer?
The Windows version is expected on 1 November 2026. Today Realtimer runs on macOS 14.4 or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel. If you need Windows right now, Natively supports it.
Does Realtimer work offline or with local models?
Not yet: transcription uses Deepgram and answers use the AI service you choose. Your keys, files and transcripts stay on your Mac.
