HeyClicky

What is HeyClicky?

HeyClicky is a screen-aware desktop assistant that sits next to your cursor on macOS. Press a hotkey and it looks at whatever is on your display, letting you ask questions out loud and get walked through the exact steps needed, right down to pointing an animated cursor at the button to click. Say 'Clicky agent' and it spins off a background agent that can research topics, organize your Notion, Gmail, and Calendar, draft documents, or even build a small Mac app while you keep working. Built by indie developer Farza Majeed and backed by Y Combinator's Spring 2026 batch, it targets everyday consumers rather than enterprise IT teams, with zero setup or plugin requirements.

Key Features

• Screen-Aware Voice Guidance

  Hold a hotkey and talk out loud; HeyClicky reads whatever is visible on your display and answers or explains it on the spot.

• On-Screen Cursor Pointing

  Draws directly on your screen with an animated pointer to show exactly which button, menu, or field to interact with next.

• Background Task Agents

  Saying 'Clicky agent' spawns an autonomous helper that researches, drafts content, or completes multi-step tasks while you continue other work.

• Native App Integrations

  Connects to everyday macOS tools like Notes, Reminders, Calendar, Notion, and Gmail without any manual plugin configuration.

• Privacy-Conscious Screen Capture

  Only observes the screen while the hotkey is actively pressed, and never stores raw screenshots, keeping only lightweight text summaries.

• Tiered Usage Plans

  Free, Pro, and Max subscription tiers scale unlimited talk messages against a monthly cap of agent-task messages.
