Step 1: Download and install

For macOS:

1. Visit the Infina website
Click on "Download for free" to grab the latest version.
2. Open the downloaded file
Go to your Downloads folder and double-click Infina.dmg. A new window will appear with the Infina app and the Applications folder.
3. Move Infina to Applications
Drag the Infina icon into your Applications folder to install it.

For Windows:

1. Visit the Infina website
Click on "Download for free" to grab the latest version.
2. Run the installer
Go to your Downloads folder and double-click Infina-Setup.exe. The installer will guide you through the setup process.

Follow the on-screen instructions to install Infina. You may need to allow the installer to make changes to your system.

Step 2: Launch Infina

Open Infina from your Applications folder. On the first run, you might see a system warning like:

"Infina was downloaded from the internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"

Click Open. Infina may also ask for permissions to use your microphone or screen — go ahead and allow them.

Step 3: Grant accessibility permissions

⚠️
Required for Voice Action and Voice Dictation

Infina needs accessibility permissions to type in any app (Voice Dictation) and use voice action. Without this permission, these features won't work.

For macOS:

  1. Open System Settings (or System Preferences on older macOS versions)
  2. Go to Privacy & Security → Accessibility
  3. Click the lock icon to make changes (enter your password if prompted)
  4. Find Infina in the list and toggle it ON
  5. If Infina isn't in the list, click the + button and add it manually

For Windows:

  1. Open Settings
  2. Go to Privacy & Security → Accessibility
  3. Find Infina in the list and toggle it ON

Why is this needed? Accessibility permissions allow Infina to:

  • Type text in any app when you use Voice Dictation
  • Execute actions in Slack, Linear, Email, and Google Calendar when you use Voice Action
  • Interact with apps on your behalf to complete voice actions

Step 4: Sign in & connect your calendar

When prompted, sign in using your Google account.

1. Review and accept our terms and privacy policy.
2. Pick the Google account you'd like to link.
3. Allow the necessary permissions so we can access your calendar and schedule events.
