Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 26, 2026

Overview

Clicky is a free, open-source Windows desktop application. We are committed to being transparent about the very limited data involved in running Clicky. This policy explains exactly what happens with your information.

1. What Clicky Is

Clicky is a local desktop application that runs entirely on your Windows PC. It captures your screen, listens to your microphone, and sends that context to an AI provider of your choosing (OpenAI, Anthropic, GitHub Copilot, Google Gemini, or Ollama) to generate teaching responses. The application code is fully open source.

2. Local Data and Collection

  • Clicky does not send desktop content to a Clicky-operated cloud service.
  • Clicky does not automatically upload telemetry or crash reports to us.
  • When enabled, history, the study journal, job results, saved lessons and recordings are stored locally. Diagnostic logs may include errors and transcript excerpts.
  • We do not require account creation or sign-up.
  • We do not use cookies, trackers, or fingerprinting on this website.

3. AI Provider Data

When you ask Clicky a question, the relevant context (screenshot crop, transcribed speech, document text) is sent directly from your machine to the AI provider you configured. Each provider has its own privacy policy:Cloud speech recognition and voices, web search, and custom MCP connections send the content needed for their operation to the services you choose. Local models and Windows speech can work offline after model setup. Optional history, journal and diagnostic logging can retain conversation content on your PC.

4. API Keys

API keys entered through Clicky settings are saved locally with Windows account-bound credential protection. They are sent to the relevant provider to authenticate requests, not to us. Legacy .env files remain supported and are not automatically encrypted or deleted. Never share them or commit them to a public repository.

5. Microphone & Screen Access

In the default push-to-talk mode, the microphone opens when you use the talk shortcut. Optional wake-word mode keeps it listening. Speech recognition can run locally or use your configured cloud provider. The microphone test stays local and is not saved or transcribed. Screen context is processed locally or sent to your chosen model; saved recordings retain screen and narration content locally. Privacy Guard masks sensitive window titles but cannot identify every secret. Workflow capture does not retain typed characters. Optional trusted-LAN sharing sends Q&A and Sketch scenes to peers without transport encryption; use it only on a trusted network.

6. This Website (clicky.foo)

This landing page is a static Next.js site hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard web server logs (IP address, request path, timestamp) for infrastructure purposes. We do not add any additional tracking beyond what Vercel provides. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.

7. Children's Privacy

Clicky is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. The AI providers you choose have their own terms and privacy practices.

8. Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes materially, we will update the date at the top and push the change to the public GitHub repository.
