macOS 14+ · Apple silicon · your own AI CLI

Empowered. On your Cue.

You ask.Cue shows you.You stay in control.

How it works →

Cue works with an AI command-line tool you already use, such as Claude Code, through the free Cue bridge. Setup guide

01 / See it

Guidance on top of your screen.

Cue answers in a card and, when you ask it to, marks the buttons and fields it means. It never clicks or types for you.

ForecastYou ask
A sales forecast spreadsheet in Safari, with Cue's question box asking: Is there something wrong with the forecast on this spreadsheet?
ForecastCue shows
Cue highlights three spreadsheet cells, B14, C16 and C18, and a card explains what is wrong with each.
EmailYou ask
An email thread about pricing and a launch date, with Cue's question box asking: Is any of the wording here ambiguous?
EmailCue shows
Cue highlights three phrases in the email thread and a card explains how each can be read two ways.
RouterYou ask
The back panel of a router on a support page, with Cue's question box asking: Where do I plug in the internet cable?
RouterCue shows
Cue points an arrow at the router's blue WAN port and a card says the cable from the modem goes there.
02 / In use

Ask about what is on your screen.

You type a question. Cue answers in a card and marks the cells, ports or words it means.

01 · Ask

Ask about what is on screen.

Press ⌥↓, type a question and press Shift+Enter. The question card sits on top of whatever you are working in.

02 · Point

It points at the right element.

Ask Cue to show you and it highlights the spot, with the answer in a card. Here it marks an item in Cue’s own menu.

03 · Step by step

One step at a time.

⌥↑ starts a task. Cue shows the current step; when you have done it, ⌥→ moves to the next one.

03 / How it works

Option and an arrow key.

Cue lives in the menu bar. Press ⌥↓ for a single question or ⌥↑ to start a step‑by‑step task, type, and press Shift+Enter. Cue reads the screen and replies in a card at the bottom of the display.

STEP 01

Ask.

⌥↓ opens a single question.
⌥↑ starts a step‑by‑step task.

STEP 02

Cue reads the screen.

Cue passes your question and screenshots of your displays to the AI CLI you set up, through the Cue bridge. The CLI can ask Cue for more screenshots as it works. An on‑device model finds where elements are, so highlights land on them.

STEP 03

Act, then continue.

You do the step yourself. Then move on, bring the last answer back, or clear the screen.

› ⌥→ Next step
› ⌥← Recall last response
› ⌥ Space Stop / clear
04 / Two modes

A single ask, or step‑by‑step.

A single ask is one question and one answer. Step‑by‑step is a task: Cue re-reads the screen each time you press ⌥→ and gives the next step.

Mode 01 · ⌥↓single ask

Single ask

One question, one answer. For a quick check before you act.

Press ⌥↓, type a question, press Shift+Enter. Cue answers in a card and, when you ask it to show you, highlights the elements it means. ⌥ Space clears it.

Ask Is "Apply changes" safe to click? I just edited the IAM policy.
Cue Wait. Your edit removes s3:GetObject from two roles the analytics service still uses. Re-add them first.
Mode 02 · ⌥↑step‑by‑step task

Step‑by‑step

A goal. Cue walks the screens with you, one step at a time.

Press ⌥↑ and state the goal. After you act, ⌥→ tells Cue you are ready: it re-reads the screen and gives the next step. ⌥ Space stops.

Goal Create an Application Load Balancer for the staging API and point it at the existing target group.
Cue Step 1. Open the EC2 console, then click "Load Balancers" in the left nav. Press ⌥→ when you're there.
05 / When you'd use it

Useful when the screen is louder than you.

Dense, unfamiliar or high-stakes interfaces. The kind where one wrong click has a cascade.

Moment 01single ask

About to click a destructive button.

"Delete cluster", "Force push", "Apply migration". Ask Cue to read the screen and say what is about to happen.

"This deletes 3 production nodes and there's no undo."

Moment 02step‑by‑step

First time inside an unfamiliar tool.

A new console, a fresh CRM, a settings panel you've never seen. Tell Cue your goal and it walks the path with you instead of you bouncing between docs and tabs.

"The next click is the Networking tab."

Moment 03single ask

Reviewing something before you send it.

An invoice with the wrong client name. An email with a stale date. Ask Cue for a second look at what is on screen.

"The invoice line items are for Acme. Subject line says Globex."

Moment 04single ask

About to run a command you half-understand.

With the command on screen, ask "safe to run?". Cue explains what it touches and points out the risky parts.

"This rm includes a symlink to your home folder."

06 / Posture

What Cue is, and what it isn't.

A second pair of eyes you call in. Not a watcher, and not an agent that takes the wheel.

Cue is

  • On cue. Cue looks at your screen only for a request you start. No analytics, no telemetry, no account.
  • Bring your own AI CLI. The reasoning comes from an AI command-line tool you already use and are signed in to, such as Claude Code, run by the free Cue bridge. That tool and its account or subscription are separate and not included.
  • Precise on device. A vision model on your Mac finds where elements are so highlights land on them. It downloads once on first launch (about 2.3 GB).
  • Universal. Works on top of the apps you already use. No integrations, no plugins.

Cue isn't

  • An agent. Cue never clicks or types for you. It answers and annotates; you decide and act.
  • A tour. No tutorials, no badges, no "let me show you around". You ask, it answers.
  • Always watching. No background screen reading. Your request and its screenshots go only to the AI CLI you configured, under that tool's terms.
  • A chatbot. Answers are short cards and on-screen highlights tied to what you are looking at.
07 / Availability
