About the project
A pure-Python tool for using the first-gen Apple Siri Remote (A1513/A1962) on Linux: unlocks it via BlueZ, decodes touch, buttons and tvOS-style gestures, and can emulate a keyboard.
Useful for
- Set the remote up as a keyboard for Kodi, Jellyfin or mpv on a media box
- Use it as a presentation clicker: swipe for the next slide, click to start a video
- Pipe gestures into a script that controls smart-home lights or scenes

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 10, 2026, 17:14 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-10 (UTC), 15:39–17:03: 125 → 135 stars (+10). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +19 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 135 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #171.
- About 11 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
