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.", "body_md": "use your meta neural band to control your mac\n\n## kinesis.mp4\n\nswipe 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.\n\nnative swift, built on some tinkering i did with astra in [neural-band-poc](https://github.com/callbacked/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\n\n**be sure to unpair your band from the meta app before you get started**\n\n[download kinesis](https://github.com/callbacked/kinesis/releases/latest), open the dmg, and drag it into applications. needs macos 14+ and a neural band. works on apple silicon and intel.\n\nset your band in pairing mode, connect, and allow bluetooth + accessibility when prompted. enable controls and you're in.\n\nxcode with swift 6.\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/callbacked/kinesis.git\ncd kinesis\n./scripts/build.sh\nopen dist/Kinesis.app\n```\n\nquit kinesis before rebuilding.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-kinesis-control-your-mac-with-the-meta-neural-band", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/callbacked/kinesis", "published_at": "2026-09-14 12:01:31+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-14 12:40:21.470570+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Kinesis", "Meta Neural Band", "Meta", "callbacked", "Astra", "macOS 14", "Swift 6", "Apple"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-kinesis-control-your-mac-with-the-meta-neural-band", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-kinesis-control-your-mac-with-the-meta-neural-band.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-kinesis-control-your-mac-with-the-meta-neural-band.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-kinesis-control-your-mac-with-the-meta-neural-band.jsonld"}}
