Speak clearly on camera. Fewer ums, every take.

Record a short take. About a minute later, Lugas marks every filler with a timestamp, checks your pace and clarity, and gives you one thing to fix next time. In English, Indonesian, or both in the same sentence.

One email when Lugas launches. Nothing else.

The tip is in Indonesian because the take was. It says: lift your vocal energy and look straight into the lens; in the first minute the eyes wandered and the energy dipped.
Pace and feedback

97 words a minute is slow. Lugas says so, then says what to do.

  • Pace is checked against a 140–170 WPM target.
  • See where the long pauses were and how your hook landed.
  • Notes on the structure you followed.
  • Video takes add eye contact, energy, framing and lighting.
  • One habit goes in Next time and stays there until you record again.
Progress

Take 1 is your baseline. From take 3, you get a trend.

  • Fillers per minute, pace and clarity, charted against your targets.
  • A streak of the days you practiced.
  • No badges. No points.

The same panel you'll find in Settings.

The take's audio or its video goes to OpenRouter, then to Google. Your topic title, name and what you're practicing for go along to guide the coaching; your other recordings, history and notes never leave this computer.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

Something else? Email [email protected].

Is my key safe?

Your OpenRouter key lives in the system’s secure storage: macOS Keychain, Windows DPAPI or the Linux keyring. Lugas only uses it to call OpenRouter from your computer. It never goes into logs, backups or diagnostics, and it is never sent to me. You can have Lugas forget it on quit.

What does it cost to run?

You pay OpenRouter per report, with no subscription and no markup. On the default model, Gemini 3.8 Flash, a 3-minute audio take is about US$0.03. Video costs more: the 4:45 example was US$0.046. You see the estimate before you analyze.

Which models work?

Any OpenRouter model that accepts audio. Settings lists them with estimated costs, and Gemini 3.8 Flash is the recommended one. Video models get the full recording; audio-only models get the audio plus a few still frames.

Does it work offline?

Recording, playback, past reports and Progress all work offline. Analysis needs a connection, so record now and get the report later.

How many devices can I use?

Up to 3 computers per license, in any mix of macOS, Windows and Linux. Replaced a computer and ran out of slots? Email support for a reset.

What about refunds?

Refunds go through Gumroad, which will show the refund window on the product page at launch. There is no free trial, so if Lugas doesn’t work for you, ask for a refund.
