Move the pointer
Index finger up
The pointer follows your fingertip.
Hands-free control for Mac and Windows
Point. Pinch. Your laptop follows.
GestureWright turns your laptop's built-in camera into a pointer. Move it, click, scroll and switch desktops with simple hand gestures, without touching the keyboard or trackpad.
Point
Hold up your index finger and the pointer follows it.
Why GestureWright
A mouse you don't have to touch.
Useful when your hands are busy, messy or tired, when you're presenting from across the room, or when a mouse and trackpad just aren't comfortable.
Everything a mouse does
Move, click, double-click, right-click, drag, scroll, switch desktops, see all your windows and change the volume.
Private by design
Camera frames are processed in memory on your computer and thrown away. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.
Always ready
Starts by itself when you sign in and runs quietly in the background. Hold a fist to pause it whenever you like.
The basics
Four gestures cover most of your day.
Click
Pinch thumb and index
Twice quickly to double-click. Hold to drag.
Scroll
Two fingers up
Move your hand up or down.
Pause or resume
Fist for 1.5 seconds
Stops gesture control until you do it again.
Privacy
Your camera feed never leaves your computer.
GestureWright looks at each camera frame, finds your hand, and throws the frame away. There is no account, no cloud service and nothing to sign in to.
Nothing is recorded
Frames are never saved to disk or sent over the internet.
Works offline
The hand-tracking model ships inside the app. No internet needed after installing.
Pause any time
Hold a fist, or stop it from the Start menu. It can release the camera completely while paused.
Open for inspection
The source code is on GitHub, so anyone can check what it does with the camera.
Getting started
Two minutes from download to waving.
Install one file
Run the Windows setup, or drag the app into Applications on a Mac. Everything it needs is inside.
Allow the camera
Say yes when your computer asks. On a Mac, also allow Accessibility so it can move the pointer.
Raise your hand
Point to move, pinch to click. It starts by itself every time you sign in.
