Field notes
The local setup requires a Mac with Xcode and Node 20; the page says nothing leaves that machine unless cloud mode is enabled. Its local comparison names an Apple M6 Mac mini, iOS 27.0, and AXe 1.8.0 as the per-call baseline. Cloud use is offered at $0.80 an hour, billed by the minute, with a seven-day replay.
