Who is Boop in Clacky?
Boop is Clacky's mascot, a small round character who runs Clackyland: Boop bakes the cookies at the Cookie Factory, keeps Boop's Bazaar and plays Chess vs Boop.
Boop is also the face of Clacky's help, Ask Boop and Boop Support. Boop is not your Blip: your Blip is your own character, and Boop is the same for everyone.
Where you meet Boop
| Where | What Boop does |
|---|---|
| Cookie Factory | Bakes a batch of cookies once a day, bigger at higher levels |
| Boop's Bazaar | Where your cookies buy looks for your Blip |
| Chess vs Boop | Plays you at Sleepy, Clever or Genius, with Undo and New game always there |
| Ask Boop | Answers "how do I…" with numbered steps, and can flip a setting for you |
| Boop Support | The chat where Justinas, who makes Clacky, answers you |
| The notch | Boop's face can sit beside the notch (Settings → Notch → Beside the notch) |
| Sounds | A Boop family of keyboard sounds, and a Boop click in the Toybox family |
| Recordings | The Boop Paw cursor style in Clacky's screen recorder |
Boop and your Blip
Your Blip is your own little character: you name it, dress it with looks from the Bazaar, and it levels up as you make things with Clacky. It lives in Clackyland and can sit small beside the notch. It stays on your Mac unless you turn on Friends.
Boop is Clacky's own character. Turn off Show my blip in Settings → Boop and you see plain Boop in its place, while your Blip, its level and its streak are kept.
Ask Boop and Boop Support
Two kinds of help carry Boop's name, and they work differently. Ask Boop is an AI helper: ask a question in plain words and it answers with steps and pictures, written by Claude, an AI model from Anthropic. If the answer is a setting, Do it for me flips it and Undo puts it back. Boop Support is a real person: Justinas answers every message himself. See how to get help with Clacky.
How to find Boop
- Click Clacky's icon in the menu bar and open the Clacky window.
- Click Clackyland on the switcher at the top, then visit the Cookie Factory or the Bazaar.
- For help, choose More → Boop Support… in the menu, or press ⌘K in the Clacky window and ask Boop in plain words.
- Want Boop by the notch? Open Settings → Notch and set Beside the notch to Boop or Both.
Turning Boop down
Boop never pops up to ask for anything: Clacky Core has no nudges. If you'd rather not see Boop by the notch, set Beside the notch to Your Blip or Nothing. The rest of the time Boop stays in Clackyland and in the help windows, where you go to find Boop.
