## [Clacky 1.1](#v1.1)

Latest

30 September 2026

Record your screen with every click in it, nine new sounds (four for Halloween), a free trial and a new look.

-   New
    
    **Built-in screen recorder.** Menu → Record Screen… records the whole screen or an area with Clacky’s clicks and ripples in the video, on macOS 15 or later.
    
-   New
    
    **Make a clip.** After a recording, Make a Clip saves a vertical 9:16 video for TikTok, Reels and Shorts that follows your clicks, and copies a caption.
    
-   New
    
    **Zoom.** The recording preview can zoom your video in on each click or follow the cursor, shows it live, and saves it at full size with the sound untouched.
    
-   New
    
    **Recordings window.** Recordings open in a preview that plays right away, with rename, share, Post to X and Save As MOV, MP4 or GIF, and menu → Recordings… lists them all.
    
-   New
    
    **Click shortcuts.** Bind a mouse-button rhythm, like three quick right-clicks, to start or stop recording, switch Clacky on or off, or pick the next sound, never using the keyboard.
    
-   New
    
    **Five new sounds.** Boop, Thock, Kalimba, Typebar and Pixel join the library.
    
-   New
    
    **Halloween.** A new Spooky family (Pumpkin, Cauldron, Bones and Ghost) takes the library to 37 sounds in 8 families, and all October Boop wears a jack-o’-lantern icon (Settings → Seasonal looks).
    
-   New
    
    **Free 24-hour trial.** Try every sound and ripple in every app for a day before you buy, once per Mac.
    
-   New
    
    **What’s New.** After an update, Clacky shows what changed once, and the menu’s What’s New… shows it again.
    
-   New
    
    **Boop on your desktop.** Turn on Settings → Boop for a little Boop on your desktop that bounces with your clicks, dozes off when you take a break and wears a REC hat while Clacky records.
    
-   New
    
    **Share your stats.** Settings → Stats → Share… makes a card of your week or all time, portrait or landscape, to copy, save or share.
    
-   New
    
    **Recording stats.** A Recording tab shows time recorded, clicks on camera and which apps you recorded, by name only.
    
-   Improved
    
    **Deeper click stats.** Stats now show when you click, your top apps, records, your year so far and a streak of days with 50 or more clicks.
    
-   Improved
    
    **Lighter and faster.** Clacky now idles at about 0% CPU (was about 4%), uses less memory and loads only the sounds you use, while every click still plays instantly.
    
-   Improved
    
    **Ripples on dark screens.** Each ripple now has a light rim around its dark edge, so it shows on dark apps and in screen recordings.
    
-   Improved
    
    **Bolder Recording preset.** The Recording preset now draws a bold line, so clicks stand out in videos.
    
-   Improved
    
    **Meet Boop.** A new app icon and a matching menu-bar icon: Boop, a happy button mid-click.

    **Clearer permission hint.** The little panel beside System Settings now says to click Quit & Reopen if macOS offers it.
