Camera preview
Start the camera and confirm tracking before desktop control is active.
Experimental closed beta
Webcam gesture control for safer desktop experiments.
IQPalm lets Windows beta testers move, click, scroll, pause, and stop desktop control with simple hand gestures. Processing stays local and control starts disabled.

Closed beta
Preview first. Enable control only when ready.
This is a Windows-first test build. The app opens with gesture control disabled and keeps emergency stop visible.

How it works
Simple control path, clear safety boundaries
The MVP is intentionally narrow: preview the camera, enable control manually, use a small set of gestures, and stop immediately if anything feels wrong.
Gesture detection
Hand landmarks are processed on the user's machine for local control.
Action guardrails
Cursor movement, click cooldowns, pause, and emergency stop stay narrow.
Beta feedback
Report camera, calibration, false gesture, and install issues without sharing video.

Download status
Available build, honest release state
The portal now separates what is available from what is still pending. The portable ZIP is downloadable; the Windows installer is not published yet.
The download path points to the portable beta package, not a placeholder installer.
Unsigned build, beta status, and unsafe workflows are shown before download.
Users can report camera, install, accuracy, or privacy issues from the portal.

Beta reality
Useful for testing, not for critical work
IQPalm is not presented as production software. The page sets expectations before users download the build.
Reliable enough for
Cursor movement tests, click cooldown testing, calibration feedback, camera startup checks.
Not acceptable for
Banking, admin panels, messaging, approvals, file deletion, or production operations.
Tester responsibility
Keep PyAutoGUI failsafe available, learn emergency stop, and test in a low-risk desktop area.
Privacy
Local-first privacy model
IQPalm needs camera access to detect your hand, but the beta is designed so video is processed locally and not recorded or uploaded.

Download
Portable beta available, installer pending
Download the portable Windows beta only after reading the safety limits. The installer is not published yet.
Beta support
Use IQPalm only if you can test safely.
The portable beta is available from the download page. Contact support if camera access, installation, calibration, or false gestures block testing.
Contact: support@atiqsoft.com. Do not send videos, screenshots, or private files unless a sanitized reproduction is specifically requested later.
