Fist instead of a hotkey: I control macOS with gestures and figure out where the memory goes
Summary
This article presents a macOS hand-gesture control tool built with MediaPipe, Apple Vision, and Swift. It explains how the developer tracks hand poses, compares gesture-recognition methods, and reduces CPU and memory usage. The piece also covers macOS-specific behavior such as camera access, DarkWake, and reaction effects. It ends with a CLI-based workflow, configuration examples, and a GitHub repository for the project.
