Become fluent in the
language of your Mac.
Your Mac is full of gestures and shortcuts nobody teaches you. Fluent does, and it also trains your typing, clicks and aim, and checks a used Mac before you buy it.

No network access.
Nothing leaves your Mac.
Fluent never connects to the internet. Your results stay on your Mac. The camera and microphone are only used on the Mac Check pages, when you ask, to show a preview and a level meter. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere. Fluent is also free and open source, so you can read the code to check.

Keys you miss or hit slowly get a drill of their own.
