Experimental closed beta

Control your desktop with gestures — safely, locally, and only when you choose.

IQPalm turns your webcam into a local gesture controller for moving, clicking, scrolling, pausing, and emergency stop on your desktop.

How it works

A narrow workflow, not a vague AI promise

IQPalm keeps the first release focused on visible camera preview, explicit enable, reliable cursor actions, pause, and emergency stop.

Camera input

Open the local preview and confirm tracking before enabling control.

Local hand landmarks

Hand landmark detection is processed on the tester's machine.

Stable gesture recognition

Gesture state and click cooldowns reduce repeated accidental actions.

Safe desktop action

Only narrow mouse, scroll, pause, resume, and emergency actions are described for beta.

Product view

A real desktop utility with visible safeguards

The public portal shows the current beta honestly: a careful Windows desktop utility, not a production automation platform.

Preview first

Users can start the camera and inspect tracking before desktop control is active.

Local by design

The beta is presented as local-only and does not ask testers to upload video.

Limits stay visible

Unsigned beta status, false gesture risk, and unsafe workflows are shown before download.

Beta reality

Clear limits before anyone asks for the build

The portal should make the risks visible before the download path.

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, with precise limits

IQPalm needs camera access to detect your hand, but the beta is designed so video is processed locally and not recorded or uploaded.

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.
