AI Assistant for Windows & macOS: 2026 Setup Guide

Start with the official installer and a free account

Open Ofradr’s home page and use the installation instructions for your operating system. Read the command before running it, and follow the current installer instructions rather than copying a command from an old article.

Create an account and sign into the desktop app. Begin with Free so you can confirm that the app starts correctly on your machine before choosing a paid subscription. Keep the installation instructions and usage guide open while you configure shortcuts.

• Confirm whether you are installing on Windows or macOS.
• Use the official download and installation links.
• Read any operating-system permission request before allowing it.
• Open the usage guide to learn the controls for your installed version.

Test chat with a small, verifiable problem

Try a short prompt such as “Explain this function and give me two edge cases.” Use code that does not contain passwords, private customer data or access tokens. Run the suggested examples and check whether the explanation matches the result.

Then ask for a different explanation or a simpler implementation. This checks the conversation workflow without requiring a long session. All plans include all chat models. Pro includes 90 chat messages per session; Elite includes unlimited chat messages. Model availability and response time can still depend on the underlying provider.

Use browser mode for a focused work block

Choose one browser task, such as understanding a practice exercise or researching a technical concept. State the goal and review the output before using it. When a task involves another service, confirm that the result is correct in that service.

Free provides 15 minutes per app session. Pro provides 180 minutes and 90 chat messages per session. Elite provides unlimited session time and chat messages. Both paid tiers allow unlimited browser sessions. Free and Pro allowances reset each time you open the app.

Match the plan to your normal session length

Stay on Free while testing installation and short tasks. Consider Pro if your usual work block fits within 180 minutes and 90 chat messages per session. Consider Elite for unlimited session time, unlimited chat messages or priority support.

The current USD subscription prices are $30 per month for Pro and $60 per month for Elite. Razorpay checkout in India uses ₹2,499 and ₹4,999 per month respectively. PayPal and eligible card checkout use USD. The pricing page is the source for the plan and payment method you select.

Check the setup before changing plans

If a feature is not working, first confirm that you are signed into the intended account and that you are using the current app version. For a cloud model, check your connection and any required provider configuration. A paid plan does not repair a network or installation problem.

If you have already paid, check Billing for the subscription status and receipt. Paid access is activated after payment verification. Contact support with the affected feature and approximate time of the problem; do not send passwords or API secrets.
