Sometimes Cluely is running but fully invisible, or the window has drifted off the edge of your display. Try these quick fixes before you reinstall.
Toggle visibility with the keyboard shortcut
macOS: Press ⌘ + | to show or hide Cluely.
Windows: Press Ctrl + | to show or hide Cluely.
If the window was simply hidden, it should reappear instantly.
Force‑quit and relaunch Cluely
If the shortcut doesn’t help, Cluely may be stuck off‑screen, or in a bugged state. Force‑quit the app and open it fresh:
macOS: Press ⌘ + ⌥ + Esc, select Cluely, then Force Quit. Open Cluely again from Applications.
Windows: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, locate Cluely.exe under Processes, click End task, then relaunch Cluely from the Start menu.
The new session resets window coordinates, so Cluely should appear in the center of your primary monitor.
