Clicky 1.2.0 — teaching drawings, community fixes, and every open issue closed

Clicky can now DRAW on your screen to teach

Ask it to explain something visible on screen (a triangle, a chart, code) and it draws over it like a teacher at a whiteboard — tracing edges, labeling parts, writing equations — narrating sentence by sentence while its blue buddy rides the pen tip.

  • Local OpenCV figure detection finds triangles/rectangles/circles with exact vertices, so drawings land on the actual figure with ANY model (even small local Ollama ones)
  • Vertex snapping + auto-oriented right-angle markers
  • New primitives: lines, polygons, rectangles, angle markers, colored text

New hotkey: Ctrl+Win

Two keys, one hand, no clash with AltGr keyboards. Configurable via CLICKY_HOTKEY in .env.

Community contributions (thank you @CatSchoko!)

  • LM Studio as a local provider (PR #7)
  • Mic device picker, auto-gain, noise gate, sample-rate fallback (PR #8)
  • Forced reply language + non-English whisper fix (PR #8)
  • Editable system prompt: Tray -> Instructions for Clicky (PR #10)
  • README overhaul (PR #9)

Every open issue fixed

  • #6 Stuck on "Listening..." forever — errors now surface + runtime log at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Clicky\clicky.log
  • #3 .env edits ignored in the packaged build — now read from the install root
  • #4 Auto-hide taskbar blocked by the overlay
  • #2 Ghost tray icon after quitting
  • #1 OpenAI-compatible providers (DeepSeek, Qwen, OpenRouter) via OPENAI_BASE_URL

Also

  • Pointing accuracy: DPI-correct coordinate mapping end to end, UIA physical->logical fix
  • OpenAI model list no longer offers non-chat models (picking "chatgpt-image-latest" used to silently break Clicky)
  • TTS no longer reads LaTeX aloud ("a^2" is spoken as "a squared")
  • Ollama auto-starts if installed but not running
