FAQ

Is Lightning Assist a Chrome extension?

No — it's a desktop app. That avoids extension permission limits and works in non-Chrome apps by design.

Will it work on my operating system?

Lightning Assist supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. See the downloads page for installers.

Can I try before I buy?

Yes. A 14-day full-feature trial requires no credit card.
