Is System Audio Capture available on the free plan?

Yes. System Audio Capture is part of the core Pluely app — the free plan is free forever, not a trial. Paid plans add bundled AI models and live transcription on top.

Does System Audio Capture work on macOS, Windows, and Linux?

Yes. Pluely is a small native desktop app built with Tauri, and every feature — including system audio capture — ships on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Will anyone see it on a screen share?

No. The overlay is invisible on screen shares and recordings and never steals focus — whatever you do with system audio capture, your audience only sees your screen.
