Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2, 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. Data We Do NOT Collect
- We do not operate any servers that receive your data.
- We do not collect telemetry, analytics, or crash reports.
- We do not store your screen captures, audio, or conversations anywhere.
- 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:
- OpenAI Privacy Policy
- Anthropic Privacy Policy
- GitHub Privacy Statement
- Google Privacy Policy
- Ollama — runs 100% locally. No data ever leaves your machine.
4. API Keys
Your API keys are stored locally in a
.env file on your own machine. They are never sent to us. Never share your .env file or commit it to a public repository.5. Microphone & Screen Access
Clicky requests microphone access to transcribe your voice queries (using OpenAI Whisper or local Vosk, depending on your settings) and screen access to take contextual screenshots. These captures are processed locally or sent directly to your chosen AI provider. They are never stored beyond the current session.
6. This Website (clickyai.app)
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. Because Clicky collects no data at all, there is nothing specific to children that is at risk.
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.
