Would you like to try something like that to increase your productivity?

An app that lets you control your device only using your hand gestures.

Feels like sci-fi; I can build things like that in under 2 hours.

Not sure if that's anything useful, but I'm planning to modify that a bit so you can record different hand positions that trigger your most frequently used actions.

👉Probably faster to add custom shortcuts.

👉and definitely cooler and more memorable to get work done.
