About

Talking Frog

Features
Read full description

Talking Frog is a friendly voice companion that listens and talks back — all on your Mac. Tap the frog, ask a question out loud, and it answers in a clear, spoken voice, kept short and easy to follow. It runs a small AI "brain" right on your Mac. After a one-time download it works offline, and your voice is turned into text on the device — no account, no sign-up, nothing recorded or sent away. • Just talk. Tap the frog and speak; it listens while it thinks and talks, so you can jump in any time. • Answers that fit the listener. Set an age and the frog tailors how it explains things — playful for young children, deeper for teens, grown-ups, and seniors. • Built-in curiosity. A bank of hand-picked questions for every age — from "How many legs does a ladybug have?" to "Why does light travel the same speed for everyone?" — nudges the conversation along. • Kid-friendly by design. A child-lock keeps little hands from wandering off into settings, leaving just the frog and its voice. • Private. Speech recognition and the AI both run on-device. Talking Frog is for fun and learning. Like any AI it can be wrong or surprising, so please use it as a playful companion, not a source of truth, and supervise young children.
