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, so naturally i wanted to harness it to make it do something useful

run it

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.

build it

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.
