AirTouch

What it does

AirTouch lets you control your Mac with hand gestures using your camera. Point to move the cursor, pinch to click, swipe to navigate, snap to close, and use Telepath to start dictation by putting two fingers near your temple.

AirTouch turns your webcam into a gesture engine. Move the cursor with your hand, pinch to click, swipe to switch spaces. No hardware. Just you.

AirTouch turns the webcam you already have into a controller for your whole Mac. Lift a hand, and the cursor is yours. AirTouch drives the cursor itself, at the system level. Every app you own is already supported. AirTouch lives in your notch, asleep. Throw a peace sign and hold — a bar fills, and at three seconds it starts tracking. Even from across the room. Raise your index finger and the cursor locks on, steady down to the pixel. Touch your thumb and index together and it fires a left click — wherever the cursor is. The one move you'll make a thousand times a day. Give a thumbs-up to confirm whatever's in front of you — send, submit, accept. Aim two fingers at the screen and drift up…from airtouchapp.com

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
