General

What is Purrclick?

A small Windows app that plays a soft sound for every click, scroll and keystroke, draws a ripple under your cursor, and records your screen with all of that inside the video. Fifi the kitten lives on your desktop and drinks the milk your clicks earn.

Will it work on my PC?

If your PC runs Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), yes. Windows 7, 8 and 32-bit Windows aren't supported. The free 7-day trial is the easiest check: if it runs, the paid version will too.

Does it work on Mac, Chromebook or phones?

Not yet. Mac is on our list. Chromebooks, iPhones and Android phones can't run it, since they don't let apps hear taps in other apps.

Will it slow down my PC?

No. Purrclick only wakes up when you click, scroll or type, and sounds are loaded once. While you're recording it uses more, like any screen recorder, and goes back to resting when you press Stop.

How do I uninstall it?

Right-click Fifi in your tray and choose Quit. Then delete Purrclick.exe. To remove your settings too, press Win + R, type %APPDATA% and delete the Purrclick folder. Your recordings stay in Videos > Purrclick until you delete them.

Screen recorder

Does Purrclick record my screen by itself?

No. Recording starts only when you choose a screen or window and press Record. A small bar with a timer shows the whole time, and Stop ends it.

Where do my videos go?

They're saved as .mp4 files in your Videos\Purrclick folder, on your PC only. Purrclick never uploads them anywhere. You can change the folder, or have Purrclick ask every time. All your videos are also listed in the dashboard.

Can someone tell what I typed from the keyboard sounds?

No. Every key plays the exact same sound, so the sounds don't reveal which keys you pressed. They do show when you typed. Anything you type that appears on screen will be visible in the video, like in any screen recording. Keyboard sounds are silent in Windows password boxes, and your microphone stays off unless you turn it on.

Do I need a microphone or a mechanical keyboard?

No. Purrclick makes the click and typing sounds itself, so they go into the video with PC sound on. A mic is only needed if you want your voice in it.

I turned on the mic but my voice isn't in the video. Why?

Most often Windows has the mic muted. Purrclick warns you when it notices this, with a button to open sound settings. You can also check Settings > System > Sound > Input and speak to see the bar move.

Can I record just one window?

Yes. Pick it from the list in the recorder panel instead of Whole screen.

Why is part of my video black?

Some video players, streaming sites and apps block screen capture to protect their content. Those parts can come out black. That's expected.

Can I use OBS or Loom instead?

Yes. The ripple shows in any recorder because it's drawn on screen. The sounds show up when your recorder captures PC audio, which OBS and Loom both can.

Who is responsible for what I record?

You are. Only record what you're allowed to, ask people before recording them, and follow the rules of the apps and sites you record. See the screen recording rules.

Buying and licence

What do I get when I buy?

A unique licence key, sent to your email the moment you pay. Paste it into the app (Licence tab) and your trial becomes the full version, forever.

Is it a subscription?

No. $4.99 once, with all 1.x updates included. Fifi's milk is earned by clicking, never bought.

Should I try it first?

Yes please. The 7-day trial has every feature, recorder included. No card, no email.

Can I use one licence on two PCs?

No. One licence works on one PC. Got a new PC? Email support@purrclick.app and we'll move your licence over.

Where do I find my licence key?

In the email you get right after paying, from our payment partner Polar. Open Purrclick, go to the Licence tab, paste it and press Activate. Can't find it? Check spam, or email support@purrclick.app.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked. See the refund policy.

How do I get updates?

Download the latest version from purrclick.app and open it. Your licence and settings carry over. All 1.x updates are free.

Privacy and safety

Windows says "Windows protected your PC". Is it safe?

Yes. Windows shows this for new apps from small makers until they become well known. Press More info, then Run anyway. Purrclick never changes system files and never records what you type.

Does it read what I type?

No. A key press only triggers a sound on your PC. Nothing is stored or sent, and it stays silent in Windows password boxes.

Do you see my recordings?

No. Recordings are saved only on your PC. We never receive, store or upload them.

What does the app send over the internet?

Only your licence key and an anonymous ID of your PC, to check your licence with Polar. No name, no files, no recordings. Read the privacy policy.

Try it free for 7 days.

Every feature, no card, no email. If you love it, it's $4.99 once.
