I built a desktop buddy for Claude Code that explains whatever you Ctrl-click

Описание и применение

Blinkling упрощает задачу получения объяснений от Claude, позволяя пользователю Ctrl‑кликать любой элемент интерфейса и мгновенно получать ответы в окне чата, устраняя необходимость ручного копирования.

Задача

Reading dense text requires manual steps—screenshot, terminal switch, paste—to ask Claude for explanations.

Результат

Blinkling streamlines the process of asking Claude for explanations by providing a zero‑click interface that captures text or screen areas and displays answers in real time, reducing friction and improving productivity.

Рабочий процесс

• Install Blinkling via Claude Code plugin marketplace
• Grant macOS Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions
• Launch Blinkling with /blinkling:blinkling
• Hold Ctrl and click or drag to capture content
• Blink sends capture to Claude Code session
• Claude streams answer, Blink displays chat card
• Optional: use experimental channel flag to mirror chat to terminal

Доказательства

Say you're reading a dense paragraph in a paper and you want Claude to explain it. The usual route is a screenshot, a switch to the terminal and a paste.

Источник

Hold Ctrl (Control on a Mac), click a paragraph, a button or a picture, and the pick flies into Blink. A chat card opens beside Blink and the answer streams in.

Источник

The plugin's .mcp.json starts a small local bridge, bin/blinkling.cjs. It listens on a loopback port (43827 by default, scanning ten) and only lets the optional Chrome and Edge helper in when that helper proves it holds a secret stored locally.

Источник

Blink only looks and explains. It never clicks, types or controls another app.
