Sonar v0.1.0

Sonar lets you scroll, swipe through images, and zoom with hand gestures using your MacBook’s built-in speakers and microphone.

This is an experiment in progress. Gesture accuracy varies, and testing across MacBook models is ongoing.

Install

Download Sonar-0.1.0-arm64.dmg, open it, and drag Sonar into Applications. This build is for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. The app and DMG are signed and notarized by Apple.

Allow microphone access for sensing and Accessibility access to control other apps. Start with the practice examples inside Sonar.

A few things to know

• Scroll, Swipe, and Zoom are the main modes. Support in other apps depends on their controls.
• Distance and Position remain experimental estimates.
• Audio is processed locally. No data is sent back to us.
• Use Sonar away from pets; they may hear the tone.
