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](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

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

[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.

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.
