First comment
Hey everyone 👋
I’m Mahmoud, the maker of Winq.
Winq started with a small frustration. I work across many windows all day, and so much of my time went into moving my hand to the mouse just to switch focus or click something. I wondered whether the camera already on my Mac could handle that for me.
Winq lets you control your Mac with your face:
👀 Look at a window to focus it
😉 Wink your left or right eye to click
🙂 Use face gestures to trigger shortcuts
🏝️ See every action confirmed in a small notch island
It works with your built-in camera and doesn’t need any extra hardware. [Everything runs on-device.]
Launch offer: the first 100 users get a free lifetime license 🎁
Winq is still early, and I’d really value your feedback:
Which gestures would you want to map?
Where did calibration or detection feel off?
Would this help you, or someone you know, with accessibility needs?
I’ll be here all day answering questions. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
