Clicky is a new AI-powered digital assistant designed for macOS that offers context-sensitive help directly on your screen. Developed by Farza Majeed, this lightweight bot runs on Claude AI and provides assistance right next to your cursor.
Users can interact with Clicky via voice or text. The tool requires screen capture permissions to offer relevant responses, but this is only activated when a specific keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Option) is used. Once set up, Clicky can guide users through tasks by highlighting menus, buttons, and dialogs, and offering explanations.
Clicky demonstrates capabilities in various applications, including system settings and image editing software like Photoshop. It can explain functions, suggest optimal ways to achieve results, and even offer advice on website trustworthiness and summarization when browsing the web.
While still in its early stages, Clicky has proven to be a genuinely useful tool for learning new app functionalities without extensive online searches. The project's code is also open-sourced, allowing for customization.
