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

说明与用途

Blinkling 通过允许用户 Ctrl‑点击或拖拽任何 UI 元素，实时将内容发送给 Claude 并在聊天卡中显示答案，消除了手动截图、切换终端和粘贴的繁琐步骤。

问题

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

结果

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.

工作流

• 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

证据

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.

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.

来源

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.

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