Your hands should be enough.
Most of us steer our computers through a small plastic mouse or a trackpad all day. GestureWright gives you another way: the camera you already have, and the hand you already use to point.
Why we built it
Pointing at something is the most natural way people show what they want. Yet for a computer, we still reach for a device, grip it and slide it around a desk.
GestureWright started from a simple question: could a laptop's own camera understand a pointing hand well enough to replace the mouse for everyday tasks? Modern hand tracking can follow 21 points on your hand in real time on an ordinary laptop, without special hardware. The hard part is turning that into something that feels steady, clicks where you aim and never gets in your way. That is what GestureWright is for.
It is made by Promintal Consulting Limited, a UK company that builds practical, privacy-first software.
Who it's for
- Anyone who finds a mouse or trackpad uncomfortable to use for long.
- Presenters and teachers who want to move through slides from across the room.
- Cooks, makers and artists with busy or messy hands.
- People who simply like the idea of a computer that follows their hand.
GestureWright is a convenience tool, not a medical or assistive device, and it isn't a replacement for professional accessibility equipment.
What we build by.
Private by default
The camera feed is processed on your computer and discarded. No accounts, no cloud, nothing to opt out of.
Steady beats clever
A pointer that shakes or clicks in the wrong place is worse than no gesture control at all. Every gesture is tuned to be deliberate.
Out of your way
It starts by itself, runs quietly, and pauses with one gesture. You shouldn't have to think about it.
Your settings, your way
Every gesture and threshold can be changed in one plain settings file.
Open to inspection
The source code is public, so anyone can see exactly what the app does with the camera.
Plain words
Clear instructions, honest warnings and help written for people, not engineers.
