touchless-mac 0.1.1 makes setup feel like a finished product: one command installs it, the hand models come in the box, and touchless-mac doctor tells you exactly what's left to switch on.

Install (Apple Silicon Mac):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qualixar/touchless-mac/main/install.sh | bash
touchless-mac doctor
touchless-mac

or brew install qualixar/tap/touchless-mac.

What's new

  • One-line installer: downloads this release, checks the SHA-256 fingerprint, installs to ~/.local, no sudo.
  • The two hand models are included in the download (Apache 2.0, unchanged; see models/NOTICE.md).
  • The app finds its models from any folder, and lists every place it looked if they're missing.
  • touchless-mac doctor checks models, camera, Accessibility and calibration.
  • A missing permission opens the right page of System Settings for you.
  • --version, a corrected hint in get-models.sh, and contributing, security and conduct files.

Learning Rust with it? The full video tutorial builds this app from an empty folder: https://youtu.be/ml6cmS3Jgkc. The chapter tags ch1-cargo to ch6-calibrate are unchanged.

The build isn't signed by an Apple developer account yet. The installer and Homebrew handle that; if you download the archive in a browser, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine <folder> after unpacking. Tested on Apple Silicon (M5 Pro); Intel untested (build from source).

The first release of touchless-mac: control your Mac with your hand through the built-in camera. Everything runs on your Mac; nothing is sent anywhere.

What your hand can do: point to move the cursor, pinch to click, pinch twice to double-click, pinch thumb and middle finger to right-click, touch thumb to ring finger and move to scroll, and wave to switch apps or open Mission Control.

Install from source (recommended):

git clone https://github.com/qualixar/touchless-mac.git
cd touchless-mac
bash scripts/get-models.sh
cargo run --release

Or use the ready-made Apple Silicon build attached below. It isn't signed by an Apple developer account yet, so macOS quarantines it. After unpacking, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine touchless-mac-v0.1.0-macos-arm64, then bash scripts/get-models.sh and ./touchless-mac inside the folder.

See the README for gestures, calibration and options, and CHANGELOG.md for details. If it works for you, a star helps other people find it.
