Clicky

AI buddy next to your cursor on Mac—sees, guides, helps you!

Overview

What it is

Clicky is a free macOS AI buddy that lives right next to your cursor. It sees your screen, listens to your voice, and walks you through whatever you're working on... whether it’s Figma, DaVinci, or code. Ask questions, get step-by-step guidance, and real-time help like a super-skilled friend. Powered by Claude, AssemblyAI, and ElevenLabs, Clicky is open-source and runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Intent

I need it when

Learn programming or technical concepts with an AI that understands context

Clicky captures screenshots and audio input, sends them to Claude for analysis, and streams back explanations with text-to-speech. The AI can see the user's code, terminal, or application state and provide targeted guidance without requiring manual context switching.

Get real-time AI tutoring assistance while working on a computer

Clicky is an AI teacher that runs as a menu bar companion on macOS, sees your screen via ScreenCaptureKit, and provides contextual help through voice interaction and visual pointing. Users can push-to-talk to ask questions about what they're doing, and Claude responds with explanations and can point to specific UI elements on screen.

Build a local AI assistant that respects privacy by proxying API calls

Clicky uses a Cloudflare Worker to proxy API requests, ensuring API keys never ship in the application binary. Users control their own infrastructure and can self-host the worker, maintaining full privacy over API credentials and request data.

Customize and extend an open-source AI learning tool

Clicky is released under MIT license with full source code available on GitHub. Developers can fork the repository, modify features, integrate custom APIs, or build their own AI companion applications using the provided Swift and TypeScript architecture.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires a commercial, closed-source AI tutoring solution with vendor support and SLAs
  • User needs cross-platform support beyond macOS (product requires macOS 14.2+)
  • User cannot provide their own API keys for Anthropic, AssemblyAI, and ElevenLabs services
  • User lacks technical ability to set up Cloudflare Workers and configure deployment infrastructure
  • User requires a web-based or mobile-only learning interface without desktop application requirements
