Getting started

Three permissions, one key, and one shortcut to undo.

1. Allow three permissions

Click Puckie's icon in the menu bar. Anything missing has a Grant button that opens the right place in System Settings.

PermissionWhy Puckie needs it
AccessibilityTo read what's under your pointer and press buttons for you.
MicrophoneTo hear you, only while you hold the key. Never in the background.
Speech RecognitionTo turn what you say into text. This happens on your Mac.

2. Hold the key and talk

Hold 🌐 (the globe key, bottom left), say what you want, and let go. Puckie shows what it heard and what it did at the top of the screen, and sits beside your pointer while it works.

If the globe key opens the emoji picker, set it to do nothing: System Settings → Keyboard → Press 🌐 key to → Do Nothing.

3. Point and speak

Put your pointer on something and say “click this”, “what is this?” or “type hello here”. Puckie acts on what you're pointing at.

4. Undo

⌥⌘Z undoes the last thing Puckie did. Before doing anything that can't be undone, like sending a message, Puckie asks you to tap to go ahead.

Next

Puckie works well as it is. When you want more: a bigger model for answers, a quick check for requests it doesn't know, or a better voice.
