In plain terms
Free software still costs something to make
So the honest question is not whether you pay, but how — and whether anyone told you.
The free clickers people download answer that question with a bundled toolbar, an installer wrapped by a download site, an ad on every screen, or a build nobody has touched in a decade and nobody can vouch for. ClickTray answers it with a different arrangement, and this page is the whole of it — including the parts that are less flattering.
The exchange
Bandwidth instead of your wallet, your attention, or your input
The usual arrangement
A free clicker from a download portal, wrapped in an installer that brings friends. Or a freeware binary from 2010 that nobody signs, nobody updates, and nobody can tell you is the same file the author uploaded. Or a paid tier for the one feature you actually came for. The payment is there; it is just not itemised anywhere.
Ours
ClickTray offers a slice of your device's spare internet bandwidth to Massive when it can. In exchange, all four tools are free, unlimited, ad-free, and run entirely on your own machine — from a signed installer that updates itself. What you type, record and capture is not part of the deal in any form.
The bandwidth is used by Massive, our vetted partner network, which relays other people’s ordinary web traffic — the same category of arrangement that funds a number of free desktop tools. It reads nothing on your disk, and your own browsing is not touched or recorded.
The specifics
What it is, and what it isn't
The second list matters more than the first, so it is not in the small print.
What it is
- A share of your spare internet bandwidth, offered when your connection is not busy — and only when it can be offered at all. Only one Clearware tray app shares at a time, so if a sibling is already sharing on this PC, ClickTray will not.
- Opt-in at install, in plain language, before anything starts.
- Switchable off at any timefrom Settings or from Massive’s own tray icon. The tools stop while it is off — the app states that on the row the switch sits on.
What it is not
- Not your keystrokes. Nothing you record, type or capture is read, uploaded or transmitted. Macros and screen templates are files on your disk and stay there.
- Not your browsing. Your traffic, history and accounts are not monitored, recorded or relayed.
- Not crypto mining. Nothing here consumes your processor for someone else — which matters more than usual for a tool you will be running alongside a game. The one thing being shared is network capacity.
Good-citizen defaults
How it behaves on your machine
An app that lives in the tray, synthesizes input and shares bandwidth has to be unusually well-behaved about all three, and unusually clear about saying so.
You are asked first
A plain-language dialog at install, before any sharing begins. The arrangement is stated before you commit to it, not discovered afterwards in a settings pane.
It never hides
A visible tray icon, a badge on it while a session is running, a Stop item on its menu, and a working Exit. An app that synthesizes clicks and shares bandwidth cannot also be coy about being there.
Your recordings stay yours
The sharing subsystem has no access to your files or your input. Macros, profiles and captured template images live in your own profile folder, in a separate part of the app entirely.
One switch, and an honest trade
Sharing lives behind a single switch in Settings. The tools stop while it is off — that is the exchange, written on the switch rather than buried, and a running session is never killed silently.
Your control
One switch, and what it actually does
Sharing lives behind a single switch in Settings, and you can also stop it from Massive’s own tray icon. While it is off, the utilities are disabled until you turn it back on.
That is the exchange, and we would rather write it down than have you discover it. It is not a paywall: there is no tier to buy, no feature held back, no watermark and no click limit while it is running. It is the one thing ClickTray asks for in return — and if you would rather not, uninstalling ends it completely and takes the app with it.
Privacy
What we can and cannot see
Every click, keystroke, recording and screen capture happens on your machine. We never receive your macros, your profiles, your captured templates or the names of the windows you point this at — there is no upload step to intercept.
The shared bandwidth carries other parties’ web traffic across your connection. It does not read your disk, your clipboard or your browsing, and it is not a channel through which anything of yours leaves the machine.
The full detail, including the little we do collect, is in the Privacy Policy.
That's the whole arrangement
No subscription, no ads, no click limits, and nothing of yours leaving the machine. Free for Windows.
