- Worth noticing
- The page lists Apple-silicon Macs on macOS 15+, iPhones on iOS 17+, and Watches on watchOS 26+; knock and lid features depend on Mac sensors.
Field notes
The page describes per-feature switches and user-assigned gesture actions, with Mac sensor availability limiting some controls. It specifies Apple-device operating-system requirements and reports testing with a MacBook Pro with M5, iPhone 17, and Apple Watch Series 6. The project also states that sensor readings, phone-screen content, typing, and pairing keys stay on users’ devices; the app itself is not yet available.
