Show HN: Kinesis – Control your Mac with the Meta Neural Band

Developer callbacked released Kinesis, a native Swift macOS app that lets users control their Mac with the Meta Neural Band, enabling gestures such as swiping between desktops, opening Mission Control, controlling music, and pinch-and-turn for volume or brightness. Kinesis requires macOS 14 or later and a Meta Neural Band, works on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs, and is built on the developer's earlier neural-band-poc work with Astra; users must unpair the band from the Meta app before setup.

use your meta neural band to control your mac

kinesis.mp4 #

swipe between desktops, open mission control, control your music, and pinch + turn for volume or brightness. pick your own mappings, practice in setup, then keep it in the menu bar.

native swift, built on some tinkering i did with astra in neural-band-poc (feel free to go through that repo to do your own thing), so naturally i wanted to harness it to make it do something useful

be sure to unpair your band from the meta app before you get started

download kinesis, open the dmg, and drag it into applications. needs macos 14+ and a neural band. works on apple silicon and intel.

set your band in pairing mode, connect, and allow bluetooth + accessibility when prompted. enable controls and you're in.

xcode with swift 6.

git clone https://github.com/callbacked/kinesis.git
cd kinesis
./scripts/build.sh
open dist/Kinesis.app

quit kinesis before rebuilding.
