Prompts, not scripts
You write a prompt; the model emits a plan of UI actions (clicks, keystrokes, AX reads); openclick executes the plan.
Drive macOS
from a
prompt.
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.
$ npm i -g openclick
Plan.
Confirm.
Run.
The model's plan is printed before anything executes. You can read it, edit it, or abort.
● plan printed before run
● --dry-run by default
● every AX call logged

What it does.
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.
02scope
Whatever exposes AX
Anything reachable through the macOS Accessibility tree — Notes, Mail, Safari, Slack, Terminal. Apps with poor AX support won’t work well.
03models
Bring your own model
OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, or any compatible endpoint. Local via Ollama or LM Studio. No bundled keys.
04shape
CLI, app, or daemon
Use it from your shell, the menu bar app, or as a long-running daemon for scripts and hooks.
05license
MIT-licensed
Read the code, fork it, vendor it. No CLA. Issues and PRs welcome but not promised to land.
06privacy
Local by default
No accounts, no telemetry. Prompts and screen contents stay on your Mac unless you point it at a cloud model.
Example prompts.
Illustrative. Real results depend on the model and the apps you point it at.

Any model.
Cloud or local.
Bring your own keys. Switch per run with --model. Use a local model if your prompts touch anything sensitive.
