Press a key on your Mac. Ask "how do I mask a layer in Photoshop?" Spotit highlights the next click. Walks you through every step. You do the clicking. You learn as you go. Next time, you won't need it for that thing.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
We built Spotit because we kept watching people - smart people - get stuck on apps they have been using for years. Hunting through menus. Googling "how do I crop in Figma" for the fifth time. Asking ChatGPT and getting back a wall of text describing buttons they couldn't find.
Spotit lives next to your cursor on macOS.
Press ⌃⌥ anywhere. Ask a question in plain English. Spotit points at the exact next thing to click, on your actual screen. for one tap answers that's it. For longer tasks, it walks you through every step.
You do all the clicking yourself. That's the point. Most AI tools want to do the work for you. Spotit shows you how, so you actually learn it. Next time, you won't need AI for that thing.
It's a Mac app, available today. Free to try.
Three things I'd love your help with:
1. Try it in the app you know least well — that's where it shines
2. Tell me what app you wished it worked better in
3. Roast the onboarding if it's bad
I'll be here all day answering everything.

quick question on the privacy side is it processing the screen locally or is my ui being sent to a server? working on some sensitive client stuff so gotta be sure. clean ui btw. @davidtzuke
Spotit
@vikramp7470 Good question. Active window only, not the full screen. The screenshot goes to our Supabase backend (EU), forwards to Anthropic's Claude Sonnet via OpenRouter for processing, and is discarded after the response. Never stored on our servers, never written to disk on your Mac.
What we log: your question text, the response, confidence score, and which app you were in. We do not log screenshots, audio, or window contents beyond the matched element label.
For sensitive client work specifically: I'd close or minimize the NDA file before pressing ⌥⌘. The active window is what gets captured, so anything else on screen stays private. Fully on-device vision is on the roadmap for a future version. Full privacy policy: getspotit.com/privacy

i'll be waiting for the expansion, i'm not a Mac user. Onboarding seems fine. Maybe more definitive content
Spotit
@intruvurt Appreciate it, Ryan. Windows is on the roadmap and I'll ping you when it's ready.
On "more definitive content" , are you talking about more specific use case demos, more concrete examples in the messaging, or something else? That's the kind of feedback I want to act on but want to make sure I read it right.
Really great idea! I once wanted to build an AI like this that could show where the necessary buttons are located in any program and explain how to do things.

@natalia_iankovych That is where Spotit came from, an idea similar to yours! We'd love to have you as one of our early users, have you tried it out?
@davidtzuke Not yet. These cases are rare. Most often, when I need to do something in Word or Excel, I go to AI, look for instructions, and then try to match the AI’s text response with the interface. By the way, does your system work with Excel in that way?

@natalia_iankovych Spotit works inside any app on your Mac, you just have to install it and speak to it whenever you need assistance!
Loved working and using this project, I hope you guys will have fun using it!
