What Nightjar is

The question lands.
Your mind goes blank.

You know your projects, your numbers and the job. Under pressure, live on a call, the right example slips away right when you need it.

Nightjar is a desktop app for Windows that helps you answer interview questions in real time. It listens to the interviewer through your computer's call audio, transcribes each question and drafts an answer from your resume, the job description and the company, in a concise, detailed or STAR style. In coding rounds it reads the problem from a screenshot and walks you from a first idea to optimal code and a dry run.

It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Webex with nothing to connect. There's no API key to set up and no subscription: you start free, then pay per interview. After each interview it writes you a report on what went well and what to practise next.

Everything you need, mid conversation

Transcript, answers and private help, live while the call is still happening.

Answers from your resume

Answers that sound like you

Every answer is built from your resume, the job description and the company, so each example is one you can actually talk about.

Coding rounds

Coding help, the way interviewers grade it

Interviewers score how you think, not just the final code. Nightjar walks you through the answer in the order they expect to hear it, so you can talk while you type.

“So we need the indices of two numbers that add up to the target.”

Ask

  • Can numbers be negative or repeated?
  • Is there always exactly one answer?

Assume: yes, exactly one pair.

Private by design, invisible by default

Real time help without anyone else seeing a thing. Not the interviewer, not the recording.

01

Invisible on screen share

Left out of capture by Windows itself, even when you share your whole desktop.

02

No taskbar icon

The overlay never shows in the taskbar while a session runs.

03

Not in Alt Tab

Switching windows during the call won't reveal it.

04

Clicks pass through

Outside its panels, clicks go straight to the app underneath.

05

Your resume stays yours

Saved only on your PC, and sent only to write your answers.

How it works

Stays hidden when you share your screen or record in

  • ZoomVideo calls Hidden
  • Google MeetVideo calls Hidden

  • WebexVideo calls Hidden

Windows itself leaves the overlay out of the capture (Windows 10 version 2004 or later), in desktop apps and browser tabs alike. Always run a quick test call before an important interview.

Before, during and after the call

About two minutes of setup, then Nightjar works quietly while you talk, and tells you what to practise next.

FAQ

Questions people ask first

Will the interviewer see Nightjar when I share my screen?

No. On Windows 10 (version 2004) or later, the overlay is excluded from screen capture, so it doesn't appear in screen shares or recordings, even when you share your whole desktop. Run a quick test call before an important interview to be sure.

Does it help with coding interviews?

Yes. Coding answers follow six steps: clarify, brute force, bottleneck, optimal approach, dry run and code, in the language you choose. Screenshot solve reads the problem or your own code straight from the screen.

Do I need an API key?

No. Sign in with Google in the app and start free. Nightjar runs the AI for you.

How does payment work?

Each interview is a single payment of ₹500, or ₹1,200 for three (less during sales, as shown under Pricing), made on this website through Cashfree with UPI, card or net banking. One interview is one session of up to 2 hours. If a session ends before any answer is generated, the interview returns to your account automatically. See the refund policy.

What do I get after the interview?

When an interview ends, Nightjar writes you a report as a PDF: what you did best, what to work on, every question with a stronger answer and a 5 day practice plan. It comes in full with every paid interview, and as a preview with free interviews. Reports are saved only on your PC.

Can I get a full interview free?

Yes, during the launch offer. The first 100 people to sign in to the Nightjar app get one full interview of up to 2 hours free, one per person and per computer. It replaces the 10 minute trial, which new users get once the 100 free interviews are gone.

What if the app closes in the middle of an interview?

Open Nightjar again and click Start. It picks up the same session at no extra cost, for the time that's left.

Is my resume stored on a server?

No. Your resume and job description are saved only on your computer. During an interview they're sent with each question through Nightjar's server to the AI provider (Groq) to write the answer, and they aren't stored or logged along the way. Details are in the privacy policy.

Which languages does it understand?

English (including Indian English), Hindi, Spanish, French and German, or automatic detection.

Which versions of Windows are supported?

Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) and Windows 11, 64 bit.

How do I get the best answers?

Paste the full job description, upload a resume with real numbers, pick the answer style for the round and wear headphones. The setup guide walks through preparation and the live call.

Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. Is that normal?

Yes. The installer isn't code signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway.
