What's new in Cloudy.

Every release, in plain words.

Version 1.0.0September 2026

Hello, world. Cloudy moves in.

  • A menu bar pet with moods: it blinks, follows your pointer, thinks, celebrates and naps. Its size is adjustable.
  • Chat that sees your screen: a quick chat box from the cloud, and a full window with saved chats, search and Markdown replies.
  • Attach images with the paperclip, by drag and drop, or as a screenshot of one window.
  • Scan and Answer: the letter shows in the cloud for multiple choice; short answers and code are copied to the clipboard. Past answers live under “Scan answers”.
  • Computer use (Pro): Cloudy flies its own cursor to click, type, scroll and drag, then double-checks its work. Esc stops it.
  • Talk to Cloudy (Pro): hold ⌥Space (customizable) and speak, and Cloudy turns into little sound bars while it listens. Speech is recognised on your Mac, in English plus one more language you choose. The chat window has a mic button too: click, talk, then edit and send.
  • Cloudy's own voice (Pro): replies are spoken in Cloudy's own natural voice, which runs offline on your Mac. By default it speaks when you talked to it; choose When I talk, Always or Never, and the speed. Other languages use the best Apple voice for that language.
  • Teaching on screen (Pro): ask Cloudy to explain something on your screen and it flies its cursor to each spot, drawing arrows, circles, boxes, underlines, check marks and labels step by step while it explains out loud. The drawings stay until you click, press Esc or start talking again, and you can answer by voice to keep going.
  • OpenAI, Anthropic and Google Gemini with your own key; local models through Ollama (Pro).
  • Model and effort picker (Turbo, Fast, Balanced, Smart) right in the composer.
  • Customizable hotkeys with combos, double-taps and chords. Defaults: double-tap ⌥ to scan, ⌃⌥Space to chat.
  • Custom instructions.
  • Guided setup: pick an AI, check your key, grant Screen Recording and Accessibility.
  • Automatic updates, checked once a day.
  • A 7-day Pro trial on every new install.
