why blink
you switch tasks
every
24 seconds1harvard business review, 2022. 137 workers toggled between apps ~1,200 times a day..
that's
four hours a week
just finding
your place again.
and that's the easy part. the real tax is the reset that follows: reminding yourself what you were even doing there, and why.
blink covers the reset. it catches you up the moment you land and points at the next step, so the switch barely costs you anything.
privacy
reading your screen, without the creep.
blink reads your screen so you never have to re-explain the conversation. here's what that does and doesn't mean.
-
asleep until you summon it.
the rest of the time blink is idle. no background watching, no always-on recording.
-
only what you point it at.
when you ask for a draft, blink reads the conversation in front of you, just then. not your whole screen, not the rest of your day.
-
you stay in control, and you can check.
blink writes a draft and stops, you decide what to send. and because it's source-available, you can read exactly what it captures, or run the whole thing yourself.
faq
questions people actually ask.
01 who is blink for?
founders living in claude code, their inbox, and x at the same time. creators and influencers buried in dms and replies. if you want to stop context switching, blink's for you.
02 does blink send messages for me?
no. it writes the draft into the box. you read it, edit it, and hit send yourself.
03 what apps does it work in?
anywhere you type: imessage, slack, gmail, discord, docs, and most native and web apps.
04 can blink see the whole conversation, or just what's on screen?
the whole conversation. it doesn't just grab the last few messages you can see, it reads the full thread, so the draft actually has the context.
05 what happens to what blink reads?
to write a draft, the text on your screen goes to an ai model. some of it is kept to help us improve blink, and you can turn that off anytime. if you'd rather keep everything on your own machine, blink is source-available to self-host.
06 what will it cost?
blink will be a paid product. the beta is hands-on and free while we get it right, and we'll talk pricing with you directly before it ever costs you anything.
07 what do i need to run it?
a mac, a couple of permissions (accessibility and screen recording), and a hotkey to summon blink. takes about a minute to set up.
08 windows or iphone?
not yet. blink is macOS only for now. join the waitlist and we'll let you know if that changes.
09 is blink available to the public?
yes. it's a waitlist for now, only because we onboard everyone ourselves: we set you up, learn how you work, and tune blink to fit. that only works a few people at a time, so we invite in small batches. leave your email and we'll reach out when there's room. the code is public too, so you can read exactly what it does or self-host it today.
blink keeps the threads.
you keep your focus.
a macOS beta. on an iphone or a windows pc? blink is mac-only for now. drop your email and we'll ping you when you can use it.
