HeyClicky

HeyClicky is a Mac-native AI assistant built around voice, temporary screen context and background agents ¹². When invoked by hotkey it can use the visible screen to answer questions in context, explain software, point or draw on screen, and help users work through unfamiliar interfaces without requiring an app-specific plugin ¹. It can also spawn agents for longer-running tasks and connect those workflows to services such as Notion, Gmail and Calendar ². The combination is more action-oriented than a conventional chat window, but the current public product remains centered on macOS rather than broad cross-platform availability ¹.

The current pricing page offers a free tier with 25 talk messages and 25 agent messages per month, Pro at $20 per month with unlimited talk/dictation and 150 agent messages, and Max at $100 per month with 1,000 agent messages ¹. That makes the core experience accessible to try without payment and keeps the mainstream paid tier near the price of many consumer AI subscriptions. The Max tier is materially more expensive, so its value depends on whether a user actually benefits from high agent volume. Windows availability is not yet equivalent to the Mac product, which narrows the practical addressable audience ¹.

HeyClicky states that screen access occurs only when the user invokes the relevant hotkey, that screenshots are not stored, and that users can delete account data; its documentation also explains that limited text summaries may be retained to support the service ¹³. Those are useful privacy disclosures, but AiToolMap found no substantial independent security audit or long-running reliability test. Y Combinator independently corroborates the current product identity and voice/screen-agent positioning ², while MOGE and Crunchbase provide additional qualitative product/company context ⁴⁵. The canonical 50-source panel produced no eligible exact-product numeric observation, so the rating remains a desk-evidence score rather than an externally validated consensus.

HeyClicky is best suited to Mac users who frequently need contextual help while already inside another application: learning a workflow, troubleshooting an interface, dictating an instruction or delegating a follow-up task without breaking focus ¹². The no-plugin screen-context model also makes it potentially useful across many desktop applications rather than only a predefined integration list. Users who need Windows support today, enterprise-grade governance evidence or a deeply established third-party review corpus have less reason to choose it at this stage.
