FunOura turns an Oura ring into a Mac controller
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.
- 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.
