What it does

openclick is an experimental open-source CLI that drives macOS UI from a prompt. An LLM produces a plan of UI actions; openclick executes them via the macOS Accessibility APIs. Early and rough. MIT-licensed.

openclick is an experimental CLI that wires an LLM into the macOS Accessibility APIs. You write a prompt, the model proposes a plan of UI actions, openclick executes them. Expect rough edges. The model's plan is printed before anything executes. You can read it, edit it, or abort. openclick is a thin shell around two things: an LLM that turns your prompt into a plan, and a runner that executes that plan against the macOS Accessibility APIs. Nothing more. You write a prompt; the model emits a plan of UI actions (clicks, keystrokes, AX reads); openclick executes the plan. Anything reachable through the macOS Accessibility tree — Notes, Mail, Safari, Slack, Terminal. Apps with poor AX support…from openclick.sh

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
