Features
What Kestrel does.
01
02
A small vocabulary
A handful of deliberate gestures, each confirmed over several frames. Ordinary movement at your desk does nothing.
03
No extra hardware
Uses the camera already in your Mac. No wearable, no dongle, no calibration session.
04
Private by construction
Camera frames are processed on the Neural Engine and discarded. Kestrel has no network access at all.
