Pawvis

PawVis turns your Mac’s webcam into a hand-tracked mouse, no extra hardware required. Raise your hand and the cursor follows, dip a finger to click, and fold two fingers to scroll. Map gestures to custom actions like window management or any app/command from a series of common gestures or train your own. Everything runs 100% on-device, and PawVis is free and open source. Enable optional voice control for hands-free commands, or pass computer-use tasks to Codex or Claude Code.
