Control your mouse entirely with the keyboard for accessibility needs or to avoid repetitive strain.
Click precisely inside text editors and code editors using its fast text-detecting vision mode.
Switch between multiple open windows quickly without touching a mouse or trackpad.
Fall back to operating-system accessibility APIs for apps where pixel-based detection struggles.

Neverclick is a Windows desktop application that lets you control your mouse entirely with your keyboard. It uses computer vision to look at your screen, find clickable elements like buttons and text, and label each one with a short letter hint you can type to click it, without needing a mouse at all. Once active, it works inside any application, since it is reading raw pixels from your screen rather than relying on each app to support it directly. You can toggle between looking at just the current window or the full screen, quickly switch between open windows with keyboard shortcuts, snap the click target to the exact edge of a detected element, or move the target anywhere inside a bounding box using number keys. It also supports selecting multiple hints at once, or selecting every hint along a path between two points, which is useful for tasks like highlighting text or dragging items, both listed as coming soon features. Neverclick actually offers two different detection engines. Its main one, called Neverclick Vision, reads raw pixel data and is very fast even on old hardware, with especially good text detection for coding and editing. A second mode called Clairvoyance uses the operating system's built-in accessibility APIs instead, which is slower and less flexible but can sometimes produce cleaner results for buttons in certain apps, and can be swapped to as a backup. A third grid mode simply spaces hints evenly across the screen, useful for clicking empty areas like the desktop. Setup is a standard Windows installer download from the project's website, and hotkeys are configured visually through a graphical settings window with an interactive virtual keyboard rather than editing config files by hand. The app is free with no accounts or subscriptions, supports multiple monitors up to 8K resolution, needs about 40mb of disk space, and does not require a powerful GPU. It currently only supports Windows, Linux and macOS are not yet supported.
Neverclick is a free Windows app that lets you click anything on screen using keyboard shortcuts instead of a mouse, powered by real-time computer vision.
No license information is stated in the README.
Setup difficulty is rated easy, with roughly 5min to a first successful run.
