Speak it.We'll find it.
Accent is a local macOS accessibility tool that gives an LLM sight. Ask in plain words — in any language — and a glowing box highlights exactly where to click. Built for parents, grandparents, and anyone who's ever felt lost on screen.
Modern apps are a maze of unlabeled icons.
Tooltips disappear. Menus hide. Accessibility loses to design polish. For anyone who didn't grow up clicking, every app becomes a guessing game.
For grandparents
Computers got smarter. The icons got smaller. Accent reads what's on the screen and walks them through it, one click at a time.
For non-English speakers
Half the world runs English-only software. Speak in your language; Accent finds the right control and explains it back to you.
For everyone, sometimes
Even fluent power users get lost in unfamiliar UIs. Accent is a universal “where is the button?” for any app, any time.
Three steps. Under a second.
Voice in. Bounding box out. The whole loop runs locally — Accent transcribes for speech, a vision classifier for the screen, an LLM to choose what matters.
Listen
Hold ⌘ + Space.
Ask whatever you want, in whatever language. Accent transcribes locally, on-device. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Look
We see what you see.
Our CV classifier scans every clickable element on screen — buttons, icons, dropdowns — and tags them with bounding boxes the LLM can reason over.
Lead
Found it.
A glowing yellow box highlights exactly what to click next. A short caption tells you what it does. That's it.
Pick a question. Watch us find it.
A simulated Google Meet window. Choose a query — Accent transcribes, classifies the visible UI, and highlights exactly where to click.

A little character with a magnifying glass and a lot of patience.
Accent's mascot reflects the state of the system, in a single glance. So you always know what it's doing — and trust that it's not watching when it shouldn't be.
Built like a native tool — not a cloud bolt-on.
Every choice — local-first, voice-first, overlay-first — is in service of the people who need this most.
Speak any language
Ask in Spanish, Tagalog, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic — anything Accent can hear. Captions stay native to your locale.

WCAG-aware contrast, screen-reader announcements, large overlays, and configurable voice speed.
The whole story, in 90 seconds.
Watch a real Mac, real voice, real screen, real overlay.
Give your Mac a magnifying glass.
