Getting Started
System requirements
What you need to run Sussur — macOS version, Apple Silicon, disk space, and an AI provider.
Updated 2026-06-10 · Verified against v0.10.25
Before you download, make sure your Mac can run Sussur.
Requirements
- macOS 13 (Ventura) or later.
- Apple Silicon (M1 or later).
- ~2 GB free disk — the app plus a one-time on-device speech model (~640 MB).
- An AI provider — either an OpenRouter API key, or Ollama running locally for a no-account, no-cost setup. See Connect AI.
- A network connection for AI coaching and updates. Transcription itself runs offline once the speech model is downloaded.
Note
How to check your Mac: click the menu in the top-left → About This Mac. If the Chip line says "Apple M1" (or M2, M3, …), you're on Apple Silicon.
Not supported yet
- Intel Macs. Sussur ships an Apple Silicon build today; an Intel build is not yet available.
- Windows and Linux. Sussur is macOS-only for now.
Tip
There's no Sussur account to create. The only credentials Sussur uses are your own AI provider key (OpenRouter) — or nothing at all, if you run locally with Ollama.
