## Useful for

- Control the Mac cursor by moving a closed AirPods case instead of a mouse
- Set up a case tap as a click via Settings > Teach Tap
- Build and run the app from source with zsh ./build.sh

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:03–02:10: 309 → 313 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +28 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 313 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- About 9 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 45
- Issues and pull requests: 12
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 66 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
