Clicks you can hear and see
37 click sounds with their own press and release, 8 scroll styles, 29 keyboard sounds, plus double-click, long press and drag. And a ripple under the cursor on every click.

A recorder that keeps your clicks
Record the whole screen or an area, with your click sounds and ripples right in the video. No editing afterwards.

Demo Studio
Press Edit in Studio after a take: pauses are cut, clicks get a zoom, captions light up word by word, and one switch makes it 9:16.

Screenshots, done right
A screenshot editor, Scrolling Capture for whole pages, and Grab Text to copy text from anything on your screen.

Your own blip
A little character with a name and a look of its own that grows as you use Clacky, with goals and cards to share.

One app, many tools
The notch with quick controls, Demo mode for filming, Mac health and more, all from one tidy menu-bar app.

Sounds your way
Play sounds only in your headphones, or only in the apps you pick. Soft interface sounds you can switch off in one click.

Try it, then keep getting more
7 days free on your own Mac, the app in 14 languages, every update included, and a real person answers your email.
