Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

Poinky is a macOS voice assistant that lives in the notch: hold a hotkey, ask about anything on screen, and it answers aloud while drawing annotations with a yellow pen. It combines on-device speech-to-text, Claude/Claude Code, and screen annotation into a coherent 'explain by drawing' interaction, with a clean one-command installer and clear privacy story.

Target audience: macOS power users, developers, and productivity-focused users seeking hands-free AI assistance on screen
