Blinkling

Blinkling Install

You need Claude Code, signed in. Then it is one pasted line, one command, and on a Mac one permission.

Which computer do you have?

We picked this from your browser. Not sure? Apple menu, About This Mac: “Chip” says Apple M…, “Processor” says Intel.

Steps for a Mac

  1. Paste this line into Terminal and press Return.

    claude plugin marketplace add Arthur031221/Blinkling && claude plugin install blinkling@blinkling

  2. Start Claude Code with this line, then type /blinkling:blinkling. Blink appears.

    The flag lets Blink's chat and this terminal session see each other. Claude Code asks you to confirm it once. Without the flag Blink still works and answers from its own session.

  3. Allow Screen Recording once: switch on Blinkling in System Settings, Privacy & Security. macOS also asks for Accessibility so the Ctrl key works. Allow it the same way.

If macOS still says it cannot open Blinkling

Blinkling is not notarized by Apple. Normally nothing is asked. If it is, open System Settings, Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.

Steps for Windows

  1. Paste this line into PowerShell and press Enter.

    claude plugin marketplace add Arthur031221/Blinkling ; claude plugin install blinkling@blinkling

  2. Start Claude Code with this line, then type /blinkling:blinkling. Blink appears.

    The flag lets Blink's chat and this terminal session see each other. Claude Code asks you to confirm it once. Without the flag Blink still works and answers from its own session.

If Windows says it protected your PC

Blinkling is not signed with a paid certificate, so SmartScreen may ask. Choose More info, then Run anyway.

Steps for Linux

Blink needs a desktop session (X11 or Wayland). On Ubuntu 24.04 it starts by itself.
