Press a hotkey. Klicsy screenshots what you see, blacks out your emails, card numbers, and keys on-device, shows you the redacted capture, and only sends it when you say so. Then it answers — and points at things on your screen.
Indie build, not yet notarized: right-click → Open the first time. Or cargo build it yourself — every line is public.
Every capture goes through five stages before a single pixel leaves your machine. The gate is enforced in Rust, below the UI — a buggy or compromised interface can't skip it.
The redacted capture and your prompt go to the provider you configured, with your key — never through our servers. We don't have servers.
An update check against our public releases page. Signed updates, keys you can verify.
No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporters. Quit the app and every process ends. Read our adversarial security review — bugs found, fixes linked.
Klicsy is free and never meters you. Pair it with an official free-tier key — or a local model — and your total cost is zero.
HeyClicky is a polished product — and a cloud subscription with capped messages. Klicsy is built on the opposite premise.
