Before you start

You need a StageWhisper account and an active plan. If you don’t have one, sign up here and pick a plan from 39/mo,orgrabtheFoundingEditionforaone−time39/mo, or grab the Founding Edition for a one-time 399. Check requirements if you want to confirm your system is supported before downloading.

​
Download and install

1

Get the app

Go to dashboard.stagewhisper.io/download and download the macOS installer. Open the .dmg file and drag StageWhisper into your Applications folder.
2

Grant permissions

When you first open StageWhisper, macOS will ask for two permissions:
  • Screen Recording (required to capture system audio from your call app)
  • Accessibility (required for the always-on-top overlay)
Grant both. Without Screen Recording permission, StageWhisper cannot hear your call audio.

Create your first Playbook

Fill it in

Give it a name, a short description, and write your guidance. For example:
You are coaching me during a sales discovery call.
Listen for:
- Whether I'm asking open-ended questions or leading ones
- If the prospect mentions budget, timeline, or decision-makers
- Moments where I talk too much instead of letting them speak

Alert me when:
- I miss an opportunity to dig deeper on something they said
- The conversation is going off-track from discovery goals
- They give a buying signal I should follow up on
