New OpenClicky for Windows 10 and 11
Ask your PC.
It shows you where.
Hold Ctrl + Win and ask out loud, and a pointer marks the answer on your screen. Hold right Ctrl and talk, and it types for you. A native Windows app, free and open source.

Not sure which? Settings → System → About → System type. On a Mac? Get it for macOS
Illustration: on a Windows PC, someone holds Ctrl and Win and asks "where do I turn on battery saver?". The island at the top of the screen listens, and a pointer marks Battery saver in Settings.
The same pointer as on the Mac. It lives in the tray and the island at the top of your screen.

The whole OpenClicky, on your PC
- PointAsk where anything is. The pointer flies there, marks it and says what to do.
- DictateHold a key in any app and talk. Your words come out cleaned up, where your cursor is.
- Hand off a taskSay what you want done; bigger work goes to a Codex agent through the
openclickyCLI.
The Windows app is a native port (C#, .NET 8, WPF), contributed by Tan Wei Jie (Justin). It is MIT licensed like the rest of OpenClicky. Build it yourself, or read what works →
Questions
x64 or ARM64: which one do I need?
Most PCs, with an Intel or AMD processor, need x64. Laptops with a Snapdragon processor (many Copilot+ PCs) need ARM64. To check, open Settings → System → About and look at System type. In Chrome and Edge this page picks the right one for you.
Why does Windows warn me before it runs?
The installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen does not recognise it. Choose More info, then Run anyway. The source is public on GitHub, and every release is built from it.
How does it update?
It checks for a new version when it starts and once a day, downloads it in the background and applies it when you quit. Settings → General → Updates has a Check now button.
Is it the same as the Mac app?
It is a port of it: pointing, dictation, spoken answers and the agent all work, with Windows keys instead of Mac ones. It uses the same settings file as the Mac app and the CLI, so your keys and free account carry over. The Windows README lists what works today.
Ready when you are
Free and open source. Your own keys go straight to the vendor, never through us.
