After you click Download

Three steps. The trial starts when Clacky first opens, email or not: the full setup guide opens right after the download.

1. 1

   Open Clacky.dmg

   It’s in your Downloads folder (or click it in your browser’s downloads).

   
2. 2

   Drag Clacky into Applications

   In that window, drag the Clacky icon onto the Applications folder.

   
3. 3

   Open Clacky

   Open it from Applications. If macOS says it was downloaded from the Internet, click Open. Boop says hi, asks what you want Clacky for, and your 7 free days start.

   

   click!

What to expect on first launch

No surprises: Clacky tells you why before macOS asks for anything.

1. 1

   Say hi to Boop

   A short welcome tour. Click Boop to hear your first clack, then pick what you want Clacky for: building, recording, focus, Mac health or just vibes. It switches on the tools that fit, and you can change anything later.

2. 2

   Input Monitoring, only for sounds

   If you picked sounds or ripples, Clacky explains why it needs Input Monitoring, then opens System Settings for you. It hears clicks and keys only to play a sound, never records which keys you type, and stays silent in password fields.

3. 3

   The rest, when you first need it

   Nothing is asked up front for tools you don’t use. The recorder and screenshots ask for Screen Recording the first time; the mic asks when you record with it or talk to Voice to Prompt; window snapping and the text expander ask for Accessibility.

4. 4

   macOS asks to reopen Clacky

   After you allow Screen Recording (and sometimes Input Monitoring), macOS shows “Quit & Reopen”. Click it: that’s macOS, not a crash. Clacky comes straight back and the permission works from then on.

5. 5

   Your dashboard

   Every tool on one screen, each with its own switch. Press ⌘K to find any tool or setting, and ⌘/ for the shortcuts. A short tour shows you around the first time.

• macOS 13+ (recorder 15+, screenshots 14+)
• Signed & notarized by Apple
• Tools you don’t use stay off
• 13 languages
• Anonymous stats, one switch off
• Automatic updates
