An AI sidekick that watches your Mac screen

What it is

HeyClicky is a small Mac app from Farza Majeed, the founder of Buildspace. You hold down two keys, Control and Option, and simply ask your question out loud. Something like "where do I change the invoice template?" It looks at your screen, answers you by voice and moves a little animated cursor over to the exact button you were hunting for.

No chat window to open. No typing. Nothing to set up first.

Why it caught our eye

Most AI tools ask you to go somewhere: a chat box, a dashboard, a builder full of boxes and arrows. HeyClicky does the opposite. It shows up right next to your mouse, where you already are. As Daily Dropout noted, it skips the chat box and the workflow builder and just works beside your cursor.

People felt that. It got around 3M views in its launch week and joined Y Combinator's Spring 2026 batch.

What it means for you

Think of the person on your team who gets lost in the booking system, or the new hire learning your accounting software. Or you, late at night, looking for one setting in an app you open twice a year. A helper that points instead of explains is a gentle kind of help, like someone leaning over your shoulder and tapping the screen.
