Self-Promotion Wednesdays Neverclick 0.4.2: Use local computer vision to select text without a mouse

Post image

Text selection and dragging are now available in Neverclick v0.4.2. Select two hints to perform a text selection or drag.

Neverclick uses local computer vision to detect UI elements on your screen so that you can perform mouse actions without a mouse. I made this when I was suffering from hand pain. The computer vision system runs 100% offline and it's optimized quite well so you don't need a powerful gpu to run it.

Not vibe coded btw.

Does it really need 500 mb of RAM?

The amount of RAM that it needs is proportional to how much screen real estate you have. On a single 1080p monitor it requires about 200mb, so if you have 2 or 3 monitors, ~500mb is about what I'd expect. It's pretty lean for a computer vision app, they usually require gigabytes. There's no bloat in there, it’s not an Electron app, it's mostly raw C++.
