Gesture Guard v0.1.6 — new camera approach (this is the big one).

Instead of the engine opening the camera as a separate process (which macOS won't grant permission to without a paid Apple cert), the app window itself now captures the camera with the standard browser camera API and streams frames to the local engine for processing. macOS grants the camera to the app the normal way, so it just prompts.

Install (macOS, Apple Silicon)

  1. Open Gesture Guard_0.1.6_aarch64.dmg, drag Gesture Guard to Applications.
  2. In Terminal: xattr -cr "/Applications/Gesture Guard.app"
  3. Launch it → Allow the camera prompt for Gesture Guard.

The live feed should appear. Use the Camera dropdown (now shows device names) to pick your built-in FaceTime HD Camera instead of the iPhone. Then test: yawn, touch your nose, or have a second person step in — the feed blurs / shows "Be Right Back".

Windows

  • Gesture Guard_0.1.6_x64-setup.exe (or .msi). SmartScreen → More info → Run anyway. Allow the camera when prompted.

If the camera is blocked: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera → enable Gesture Guard.
