FAQs
Is the Fluid assistant safe?
Absolutely! Fluid is one of the safest AI assistants on the market today. It computes all your chats locally on the device and does not send or share them with any middle-man or external chat provider. No-one can see your data except you. Also Fluid updates itself automatically using secure HTTPS protocol with additional encryption, making sure you always have latest and safest version. And it does all this by default. What's more, Fluid is fully sandboxed, notarized, security-checked and hardened by Apple. Sandboxing means Fluid has very limited access to your Mac. For example it can't see your screen or access your files. Read more about sandboxing on Apple's website.
How do I download and install?
Simply download the Fluid Mac app and open Fluid.dmg file. Then drag the app to Applications as shown by the arrow and open it from /Applications folder.
Is it available on the AppStore?
Not yet :). The app is Sandboxed and therefore satisfies AppStore requirements, but we haven't got there yet. Please do Let us know if it's important to you 🙏.
Is it free?
The beta version of Fluid for Mac is absolutely free - enjoy :) The Private API is paid - $19/month
How do you earn?
We sell Fluid Pro API at $19/month. We also offer Fluid Box for businesses, providing powerful, private self-hosted AI at a great price.
What are the hardware requirements?
Fluid computes everything locally on your machine, therefore it requires Apple Silicon (starting with M1 MacBook Air). Also it requires ~4.9GB of free disk space for Macs with 8GB RAM, and 8.6GB of free space for Macs with 16GB RAM or more. (Fluid needs disk space to download it’s Llama 3 Brain LLM).
Which macOS version do you support?
For now we support macOS 14.0. We can add support for macOS 13.0 - just let us know.
Can I disable auto-updates?
It's not possible now, but we consider adding that option in the future (together with disabling sentry error reporting). Let us know if it’s important to you.
Is it open-source?
It is not, although we’d love to open-source it fully or partially. Let us know if it’s important to you.
How to activate Voice Recognition?
You have to make sure those 3 steps are satisfied: 1. Grant permission for recording when asked at the app start. 2. Click on Fluid's icon on the status bar and enable Voice Recognition mode. 3. Tap ⌃ Space and then press and hold Control ⌃ button while speaking.
Will it slow down my machine?
No, Fluid is idle by default, so it will not slow down your Mac or drain your battery when installed and idle. Of course, when you ask Fluid a question, it has to generate an answer, and this is a GPU-intensive process - but you have total control over it, and you can stop it at any time.
How do I uninstall?
Sorry to see you go! Let us know what we can do better, and we will improve. If you're still sure, please follow these steps: 1. Close Fluid app. 2. Remove Fluid.app from /Applications directory in Finder. 3. Open Finder, type ⇧ ⌘ G , enter ~/Library/Containers/app.getfluid/. 4. Delete data directory entirely. 5. You may need to empty trash to save space after verifying all works OK.
Do you record my conversations?
No content of your messages is ever logged or stored permanently on our side. It is stored temporarily within the RAM of our inference server due to operational requirements (buffers, queues) and may be temporarily stored in GPU-RAM cache to speed up subsequent queries.
What is RAM only mode?
Our inference server, which generates the AI response, runs in RAM-only mode. This means that even if the content of your chats were somehow logged by the operating system due to a bug (extremely unlikely), it would be completely erased after the first server restart, since RAM doesn't persist across restarts.
What is 2nd level encryption?
For all conversations we use idustry proven SSL encryption, but also offer additional 2nd level encryption. It ensures that the only server capable of decrypting your messages is the destination inference server doing the actual AI work. In that case our public facing gateway server (that handles authentication) is unable to decrypt content of your chat messages and can only forward them in an encrypted form. This way you don't have to trust the company that hosts our gateway server. We also frequently rotate encryption keys and use future-proof AES256 for encryption.
