Field notes
ShyGlass calibrates a centered gaze from the Mac menu bar, then compares later AirPods head-motion data against a configurable movement threshold. The page specifies a 2–30° comfort range, separately adjustable full coverage from 5–30°, and a global shortcut for recentering. It requires macOS 14 or later and compatible AirPods with head tracking; AirPods 1 and 2 are excluded. The page also states that screen snapshots remain in memory and are never saved or uploaded.
