heyclicky

heyclicky is a Mac assistant that sees your screen when you press a hotkey, answers spoken questions, draws on screen to guide you through any app, and can run agents for tasks like Gmail or Notion work.

heyclicky is a desktop assistant for macOS that appears as a small companion on screen. Pressing a hotkey lets it look at whatever is currently open, so a question asked out loud comes with full visual context. Instead of replying with a block of chat text, it talks the user through the task and draws directly on the screen to point at the button, panel or setting that matters next. The pitch is learning by doing inside the real application, whether that is a music production program, a video editor, a spreadsheet or a coding tool. A second mode covers delegation. Saying "heyclicky agent" hands a task over, and the assistant carries it out rather than only explaining it. Agents can be started by voice with no terminal involved, and accounts such as Gmail or Notion can be connected so the work reaches real data. The product separates the two modes clearly: conversation (called talk) and agent runs, with only the latter counted against a monthly allowance. If the allowance runs out, talk keeps working and agent messages resume on the next cycle. Privacy is handled through the hotkey. The screen is only captured when the user triggers it, screenshots are not stored, and short text summaries are kept to maintain context. Account data can be deleted from settings. Because it reads the screen itself, it needs no plugins or per-app integrations. In practice it suits beginners picking up unfamiliar software, and people who currently screenshot a window and paste it into a general chatbot to ask what to click next. It removes that copy step and adds spoken guidance and on-screen annotation. The trade-offs are platform reach and maturity: it runs only on macOS Sonoma 14.2 or later, with a Windows waitlist, and the makers describe the product as early. Plans run from a free tier to Pro and Max, with monthly or yearly billing.
