¿Qué es?
HeadOrbit reads the motion sensors built into supported AirPods and Beats earbuds, then turns head turns, nods and tilts into actions on a Mac. No camera is used. Each gesture direction can be assigned to blur the screen, show a posture reminder, press a key, hold a key, or do nothing.
Actions are grouped into scenes that can be switched on or off as a unit. Three scenes ship built in: privacy blur when turning away, a posture reminder that fires when slouching, and a voice input scene that holds Fn when tilting left and presses Return when tilting right. Angles, delays and keys are all adjustable, and the app warns when two enabled scenes claim the same direction.
The app requires macOS 14 or later and AirPods connected to that Mac. It runs in the menu bar without a Dock icon, sends no screen data off the machine, and only contacts GitHub to check for updates.
