Hi, we are not limiting it to that. We want to add more to the list. It just takes time... we're still a small 3 people team. Know any great engineers/designers who can help us execute faster? :)

Great idea. Although, you probably will have to turn it on manually.

Paul - that is a great observation and feedback. We believe that future will be about us using touch, voice, and gesture all three depending on context and circumstances. We do plan to keep it simple, and we have some great ideas for it.

Would you want that as a feature? Keep camera on but turn off the light? Hmm...

Andrew - great observation. On top of your menubar, there's Flutter icon. Click on it, and it will give you simple flutter on and flutter off capability.

Yes, that is correct.

Legit concern. This is why we've built an app w/o a server component, so everything happens on your machine. We do not capture anything from your webcam. It all happens on your machine. On top of it, there's a turn off capability which will

Only when tutorial is done and you're using iTunes or Spotify. First time you bring up either of the apps, it will notify you through top menu bar that Flutter is controlling it now. Once that happens, you can control in the background or

Hi Hedgehog - thats a great point. We thought of it, and when you're not doing a gesture, CPU usage should drop to around 2-3%. Let us know if it doesn't. In our test, average CPU usage was around 5%.

Yes, at the moment. We will add support for other OS very soon.

You're right. We use image processing, computer vision & machine learning to detect Flutters. Our entire tech stack is custom written as we are solving some quite challenging & difficult AI problems.

Glad you noticed it. We want you to never think about controlling your music at all. This is one of the things I love too... we listen to music in a background, so controlling it should be in the background too.

Yes, idea is to allow you to listen to music or watch movies without touching keyboard or mouse.

Hi Folks - this version is for the videos on YouTube. That's coming in future version (right now only iTunes & Pandora)

Josh - thanks so much for your kind words. Please use it and let us know your feedback. We'd love to hear more!

hi wmw, it should work as long as you have Mac. If you are on other OS then it will ask you to leave your email address for future invite. Are you on Mac? Can you tell us what happened?

We hated using the keyboard and mouse for controlling music in the background or watching movies on our computers from a few feet away. So we decided to solve this problem by using hand gestures to control music and videos via the built-in
