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.]

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! 🙏
Winking to click is such a fun idea! 😄 How does Winq tell a deliberate wink apart from a normal blink or someone rubbing their eye? And is there a quick way to pause it during a video call?
The idea of controlling a Mac with just your gaze and a wink is fascinating. Once you get used to it, it seems like it could be really handy for multitasking.
I'd try mapping a glance to summon the app switcher during long writing blocks — hands stay on the keyboard and I still catch when the wrong window stole focus.
probably mapping a wink to mute/unmute on calls, i forget to hit it manually half the time
Can we customize the wink gestures to perform different actions for specific apps?
If seamless interaction can be truly achieved, it will definitely be a major revolution in the history of human-computer interaction.
That little notch indicator makes sense when the input is a wink or a glance. You need to know what the camera picked up without breaking your focus.
