SlideWand v1.0.0
SlideWand v1.0.0 — first release
Wave your hand to change slides. No clicker, no keyboard, no standing next to the laptop.
Install
- Download
SlideWand-macos.zipbelow and unzip it. - Right-click
SlideWand.app→ Open (one time only). The app isn't Apple-notarized yet, so Gatekeeper needs this manual OK on first launch — after that it opens normally with a double-click. - Grant Camera access when prompted.
- Grant Accessibility: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → add SlideWand. (macOS never prompts for this one — the app opens that Settings page for you on first run and shows a banner until it's granted. It starts working the moment you toggle it, no restart needed.)
Then start your slideshow (Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides, PDF — anything that advances with arrow keys), make sure it's the focused window, and wave.

Privacy
Everything runs on-device with Apple's Vision framework. The camera feed is processed in memory and never saved, uploaded, or transmitted. The app makes no network connections at all.
