A Mac app for AI visibility

Find out if ChatGPT recommends you, using your own ChatGPT account.

Fogline asks ChatGPT the questions your customers ask, every day, and shows you which answers name you and which name your competitors instead. It runs on the ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan you already have, so there’s no subscription and no limit on prompts.

The test I ran on my own app

I asked ChatGPT about my app. It mostly didn’t mention me.

I make Hearing Buddy, an iPhone app that puts live captions on the conversations around you. I assumed that when someone asked ChatGPT for a caption app, Hearing Buddy would come up.

I built Fogline to check. I gave it my website. It found my competitors, wrote down the questions real people type when they’re looking for an app like mine, and asked ChatGPT every one of them.

Out of 20 questions, ChatGPT named Hearing Buddy twice.

Not for the dad who keeps missing dinner conversation. Not for the doctor’s appointment, the book club, the family reunion or the grandkids. Those are exactly the people I built it for, and ChatGPT was sending them to other apps.

That’s the problem with AI answers. There’s no page two, no ranking report and no lost click you can see. You’re in the answer or you’re not, and nobody tells you which.

CHECK 1 · OCT 19 0 / 10

Vague questions like “how does this technology compare to other options?” Nobody types that. ChatGPT gave generic advice and named no one.

CHECK 2 · OCT 19 3 / 10

Rewritten the way people actually ask: “my dad keeps missing what people say at dinner.” Now real apps get named, and Hearing Buddy is one of them, sometimes.

CHECK 3 · OCT 20 2 / 20

Twice as many questions, the next day. One competitor was named in 8 answers. Hearing Buddy was named in 2. That left 18 questions where customers never heard about it.

Your own ChatGPT account

Fogline runs on the ChatGPT plan you already pay for.

This is the big difference. Other trackers pay for every question they ask ChatGPT, so they charge you a monthly fee and cap your prompts. Fogline asks through your own account instead.

1

Sign in with ChatGPT, once

Click Continue with ChatGPT and sign in on OpenAI’s own page, the same way you’d sign in to any app with Google. Fogline never sees your password.

2

Fogline asks your questions as fresh chats

Each question goes to ChatGPT as a brand-new conversation, with web search on and no memory of your other chats, so you see what a new customer would see.

3

It uses your plan’s included usage

There’s no API bill and no per-question fee. Checks count toward the usage that comes with ChatGPT Plus or Pro, and you can see it and set a limit for Fogline in your ChatGPT settings.

4

The answers stay on your Mac

Every answer is saved on your computer, not on our servers. Your sign-in is kept in the macOS keychain.

Why this means unlimited prompts

Fogline doesn’t pay per question, so it has no reason to cap you. Track one brand or twenty, ten questions or three hundred. The only limit is your ChatGPT plan’s own usage.

Why this means no subscription

A monthly fee pays for someone else’s servers and someone else’s ChatGPT bill. Fogline has neither. You pay once for the app.

No ChatGPT plan?

Add an OpenAI API key instead and pay OpenAI directly for what you use. You can also add an Anthropic key to check Claude.

Does it mess up my ChatGPT?

No. Checks don’t appear in your ChatGPT chat history and don’t change what ChatGPT remembers about you.

Plain English

So what exactly is this?

What you’re buying
A Mac app that checks whether ChatGPT recommends your product, brand or business when people ask for something like it. Claude too, if you add an Anthropic API key.
What it shows you
The share of answers that name you, how that’s changing day to day, which competitors get named instead, and the list of questions where you’re missing. It lives in your menu bar and on your desktop as a widget.
How you pay
$89, once. No subscription and no per-prompt pricing. Checks run on your ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan, or on an OpenAI API key if you’d rather.
How you use it
Paste your website. Keep the questions you like. Check the number in the morning. When a question names competitors and not you, open it, read exactly what ChatGPT said and which websites it used, and fix what’s missing.
What it isn’t
Not an SEO course. Not another web dashboard you forget to log into. Not a guess. Every number links to the full answers it came from, so you can read them yourself.
How it works

Paste your website. Get your first report in minutes.

Setup takes about as long as making a coffee. After that it runs by itself every day.

1

Start with your site

Fogline reads your homepage, works out what you sell and who you compete with, and fills in your competitors. You can change any of it.

2

It writes the questions people really ask

Casual, first-person and a bit messy, the way people actually type into ChatGPT: problems, use cases, prices, “alternatives to X”, “X vs Y”. Keep the good ones and add your own. There’s no limit.

3

A report every morning

Every day, Fogline asks ChatGPT each question several times and tells you what changed. If your number moves 10 points either way, you get a notification.

What you actually see

The full answer, with your name highlighted.

Fogline keeps every answer in full, so you can see where you were named, who came before you, what ChatGPT said about you and which websites it used.

best private live caption app for hard of hearing people on iphone

If privacy is your top priority, I’d start with Apple’s built-in Live Captions. For a separate app designed for hard-of-hearing users, Hearing Buddy is worth trying. Both offer on-device captioning rather than requiring a cloud transcription service.

1. Best first choice: Apple Live Captions

Face-to-face conversations, phone audio, FaceTime and other apps. iPhone 11 or later…

2. Best separate app to try: Hearing Buddy

Its listing offers unlimited free live captions, adjustable text size, saved transcripts, and background listening. It says speech recognition happens on your device…

Named 2nd, right after the free one built into every iPhone.

Fogline records your position in every answer.

“worth trying” = positive. I’ll take it.

Fogline reads the tone of each mention on your Mac, using Apple Intelligence.

It learned about me from my App Store listing.

The sources tell you which pages ChatGPT trusts, so you know which page to improve.

Missed questions

And here’s where it left me out.

Same day, same app. Someone asks about captions for a doctor’s appointment, one of the main reasons people want an app like Hearing Buddy.

ChatGPT gives a careful, genuinely helpful answer. It explains how to turn on the iPhone’s built-in captions, where to put the phone, and even what to say to the doctor. Hearing Buddy isn’t in it.

Fogline lists every question like this in one place. In the app they’re called fog warnings: questions your customers ask where competitors get named and you never do. That list is your to-do list.

MISSED QUESTION
live captions on my iphone for in-person doctor appointments

Named instead: Apple’s built-in Live Captions. Hearing Buddy: not mentioned.

this one hurt
Why one answer isn’t enough

Ask the same question twice. Get two different answers.

ChatGPT doesn’t give everyone the same answer. Between my second and third checks, the same questions flipped.

“best live caption app that also shows conversations on apple watch”

OCT 19named
OCT 20not named

“best private live caption app for hard of hearing people on iphone”

OCT 20named

So Fogline asks each question up to 10 times.

One answer could be luck. Five answers to the same question tell you whether you’re named always, usually, about half the time, rarely or never. That’s the number that predicts what your next customer will hear. You choose how many answers per question, from 1 to 10, and because it runs on your own plan, asking more doesn’t cost you more.

Reading your report

Five numbers, each explained in plain words.

Every number in Fogline comes with a comparison to your last check, and every one links to the answers behind it. The numbers below are examples.

Visibility10%

The share of answers that name you. If 2 of 20 answers mention you, that’s 10%. This is your headline number.

Named first25%

How often you’re the first brand in the answer. Being first matters: it’s usually the one people try.

Position#2.4

Where you appear in the list when you’re named. #1 is first. #3 means two others were mentioned before you.

TonePositive

Whether the answer recommends you, just lists you, or raises doubts. Read on your Mac by Apple Intelligence.

Consistency3 of 5

When a question is asked several times, how many of those answers named you. Steady beats lucky.

Fogline vs. the subscriptions

The others charge every month and cap your prompts. Fogline doesn’t.

Peec AI, Semrush and Otterly.AI are good products for teams that want a web dashboard. Here’s how they compare on what most people actually care about: what it costs and how much you can track.

What’s inside

Everything you need to get named. Nothing you don’t.

The daily report

Your visibility, the change since your last check and a trend line, readable in a second every morning.

Missed questions

Every question where competitors are named and you aren’t, with who got named instead. Your to-do list, already sorted.

What to do next

Plain next steps, worked out from the websites ChatGPT cites for your competitors but never for you.

Every answer, kept

The full text of every answer, formatted the way ChatGPT wrote it, with your name highlighted, competitors underlined and every source listed.

The matrix

Every question against every brand, so you can see which competitor owns which question at a glance.

Share of voice

How often each competitor is named next to you, plus names that keep turning up that you aren’t tracking yet. One click adds them.

Sources and source gaps

The websites ChatGPT cites, sorted into reviews, community, editorial and your own site, and the ones that cite competitors but never you.

Up to 10 answers per question

ChatGPT varies, so Fogline asks the same question several times and tells you how reliably you’re named.

Menu bar and widgets

Today’s numbers for every brand, one click from anywhere on your Mac. Desktop widgets in three sizes.

Alerts that matter

A notification when your visibility moves 10 points or more. Quiet the rest of the time.

Tone of each mention

Whether answers recommend you, just list you, or raise doubts. Read by Apple Intelligence on your Mac, at no extra cost.

Tags, filters and CSV

Tag questions by type, filter by period or assistant, and export everything to a spreadsheet when someone asks for the numbers.

After the report

Found a question you’re missing from. Now what?

ChatGPT recommends what it can read about. These are the moves that change what it reads, and Fogline shows which question needs which one.

  1. Get onto the pages it already cites

    Every answer lists its sources. When the same review site, “best of” article or forum thread keeps appearing in answers that name your competitors and not you, that page is where you need to be. Fogline calls these source gaps and lists them for you.

  2. Answer the question on your own site, in your customer’s words

    If people ask about captions for doctor’s appointments and your site never mentions doctors, ChatGPT has nothing that connects you to the question. One honest page per real use case does more than a dozen posts about features.

  3. Write the comparison page yourself

    “Alternatives to X” and “X vs Y” questions are where people decide. If the only comparison pages online were written by your competitors, those are the ones ChatGPT reads.

  4. Fix the listing it learns from

    For Hearing Buddy, ChatGPT drew on the App Store listing. Your listing, pricing page and about page are what it reads. Say plainly what you do, who it’s for and what makes you different.

  5. Check again and watch the number move

    Changes take a while to show up in answers. Fogline keeps asking every day, so you can see which change won which question instead of guessing.

Is this for me?

If people could ask an AI about what you sell, it’s for you.

Founders & app makers

You built the better thing

And ChatGPT keeps recommending the one with the bigger marketing budget. Find out exactly where, and why.

Marketers & SEO

The report your boss keeps asking for

“Are we showing up in ChatGPT?” Now you have a number, a trend and the answers to back it up.

Agencies & freelancers

Every client, one price

Unlimited brands means you can track every client on one licence, and export the results for the monthly report.

Shops & local businesses

“Best ___ near me” is a ChatGPT question now

When someone asks for the best option in your category or your town, see whether you’re in the answer.

What makes Fogline different

Built by someone with the same problem.

Your account, your limits

Because it runs on your own ChatGPT plan, Fogline has no reason to meter you. Ask more questions, more often, without a bigger bill.

Real questions, not keywords

The questions Fogline writes sound like people, because people don’t type keywords into ChatGPT. That’s the difference between my 0 out of 10 and a check that means something.

Proof behind every number

Click any percentage and read the answers it came from. You never have to trust a score you can’t check.

Quiet until it matters

No dashboard to babysit. The numbers sit in your menu bar, and a notification arrives when something actually moves.

Why I built it

The best product doesn’t win if nobody hears about it.

I run Krager Labs, a small studio that makes apps. For years the question was “do we rank on Google?”, and there were a hundred tools to answer it.

Now more and more people skip the search results and ask ChatGPT what to get. When I wanted to know whether it recommends Hearing Buddy, I wanted a simple answer, on my own Mac, without another monthly bill. I was already paying for ChatGPT, so I made Fogline use that.

It showed me where I was missing and which pages to fix first. I hope it does the same for you.

Questions

Before you buy

How does it use my ChatGPT account?

You sign in with ChatGPT once, on OpenAI’s own sign-in page. Fogline then sends your questions as fresh conversations that count toward the usage included in your ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan. It never sees your password, the checks don’t show up in your chat history, and you can see and limit Fogline’s usage in your ChatGPT settings.

What does “unlimited prompts” really mean?

Fogline itself has no cap on brands, questions or answers per question, and never charges per prompt. The only limit is the usage included in your ChatGPT plan. If you track a lot, spread checks out daily or weekly, or ask fewer answers per question.

Why is it so much cheaper than Peec AI or Semrush?

Those tools pay for every question they send to ChatGPT and run servers to store your data, so they charge monthly and limit your prompts. Fogline runs on your Mac and on your own ChatGPT plan, so it has neither cost to pass on.

Do I need a ChatGPT subscription?

It works best with ChatGPT Plus or Pro, because checks then cost you nothing extra. No plan? Add an OpenAI API key instead and pay OpenAI only for what you use.

Is this what my customers actually see?

Very close. Fogline asks each question as a new conversation, with web search on and without any personal chat history or memory, so it sees what ChatGPT tells a new customer. Because answers vary, it can ask each question several times and tell you how often you’re named.

Where do the questions come from?

Fogline reads your website and suggests questions the way real people ask them: problems, use cases, prices, alternatives and comparisons. It never puts your brand name in the question, because your customers don’t either. You can edit, tag, add or remove any of them.

Which AI assistants does it check?

ChatGPT, and Claude if you add an Anthropic API key. More are planned. If you need Perplexity or Gemini today, one of the subscription tools above is a better fit.

Does it run when the app is closed?

Checks run while Fogline is open. Turn on Open at Login and it sits in your menu bar and checks every day on its own.

Is my data sent anywhere?

Your brands, questions and answers are saved on your Mac. The questions go to ChatGPT (or Claude) to be answered, and nothing goes to us. Your sign-in and keys are kept in the macOS keychain.

Will it work for my kind of business?

If people could ask an AI which product, service or shop to choose in your category, yes. Apps, software, online shops, agencies and local businesses all work.

Is it really a one-time payment?

Yes. $89 once, and every version 1 update is free.

What if it isn’t for me?
