Free · Made for humans · v0.1.0

A patient helper
for the digital world.

Daisy listens, answers, and stays out of the way. She's built for anyone who's ever felt rushed by a computer — and for the people who love them.

Private by design ~80 MB · 30-second install Windows 10 & 11

For grandparents

who want to print a boarding pass without calling the kids again.

For grown children

who want their mom to stop apologising for asking the same question twice.

For caregivers

who deserve a tool that's as patient with their clients as they try to be.

What we promise

Built on four things
we won't trade away.

Daisy is a small piece of software with a strong opinion about how it should behave. These aren't features. They're the floor.

No. 01

Your words are yours.

We don't save your conversations. We don't sell, share, or train on them. Audio leaves your machine to be transcribed, then it's gone — no chat history, no profile, no "memories" file growing on a server somewhere. If you close Daisy, the conversation closes with it.

No. 02

Time is for you, not us.

Daisy will never rush you, never time you out mid-thought, never punish a long pause. There are no streaks to keep, no badges, no dopamine drip-feed. She'll wait. She has the rest of the afternoon.

No. 03

Designed for every set of eyes and hands.

Atkinson Hyperlegible type, AAA-contrast text, hit targets larger than a postage stamp, voices that read aloud at a human pace. Captions on by default. Font size goes up to 1.6×. Every control has a name a screen reader can speak.

No. 04

No tricks. No upsells. Ever.

Daisy is free, and stays free for the person at the keyboard. No nag screens, no "premium" tier hiding behind a paywall, no notifications begging you to come back. When she doesn't know something, she'll say so — and tell you where to go next.

Computers should greet you,
not test you.
A note from the team
How it works

Three small steps,
then a long, easy conversation.

No accounts. No setup wizard. No quiz about your preferences. You'll be talking to Daisy in less time than it takes to make tea.

01

Install

One download. Run DaisyHelps-Setup.exe and click through the SmartScreen warning (More info → Run anyway). No account, no email, no "accept these 14 things."

02

Press the big button

Daisy opens to a single button that says Start talking. Press it, ask anything. She'll listen as long as you need.

03

Carry on

She'll look at your screen if you ask, walk you through clicks step by step, or just keep you company while you find the right window. When you're done, close her.

Get Daisy

Free download.
Always.

Daisy is about 80 MB and installs in under a minute. You don't need an account to use her. You never will.

Windows 10 & 11 64-bit ~80 MB Microphone needed

When Windows asks "Are you sure?", click More info then Run anyway. We're working on a signed installer.

Honest answers

Questions we'd ask too.

Does Daisy listen all the time?

No. Daisy only listens when she's open and you've spoken. There is no wake word. There is no background listening. Close the window and the microphone is released.

Where does my voice go?

Audio is sent to a transcription service to be turned into text, then deleted. The text of your question is sent to a language model to compose an answer, then deleted. We don't retain any of it, and we don't link it to you — there's no account.

Does Daisy take screenshots?

Only when she asks. If understanding what's on your screen would help her answer, she'll ask first — with the reason in plain English — and you can always say "not right now." She doesn't remember the answer; next time she'll ask again.

What if I can't hear well, or speak clearly?

Every spoken word is captioned on screen in large type. If you'd rather type, there's a text mode that doesn't leave the conversation. Font size is generous and contrast is AAA against the background.

Is it really free? What's the catch?

There isn't one. Daisy is built by a small team. We may eventually take support partnerships with public libraries and senior centers — we will never sell what the people at home are saying.

Why does Windows show a warning when I install?

Daisy v0.1 is not yet signed with an EV code-signing certificate, so Windows SmartScreen shows an "Unknown publisher" warning. Click More info then Run anyway. We're saving for the cert — it removes the warning entirely.

Can I install it for someone else?

Yes — and we expect most people will. The download is small, the installer is a normal Windows installer, and Daisy launches to a single button.

Bring a little patience
to the family computer.

An ~80 MB download. A button that says Start talking. That's it.
