An open-source macOS app that uses an Oura Ring for cursor control, clicks, scrolling, slide and music controls, and offline health and exercise features.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.
For
Mac users with a spare Oura Ring
Worth noticing
Pairing gives the ring a new key and disables its Oura-app/account connection until reset and setup there again; the page recommends a spare.

Field notes

Installation is a local build from GitHub: setup.sh checks dependencies, fetches open_oura, applies a small patch, and builds the app. Pairing requires resetting the ring and assigning it a new key; the instructions warn that this disconnects it from the Oura app and account until it is reset and set up there again, so the project recommends a spare ring. The page says health readings are estimates and that processing stays on the Mac.
