Use head movements for Mac shortcuts and privacy
HeadOrbit reads AirPods motion through Apple's macOS Core Motion API and maps turns, nods and tilts to actions. It can blur the display, show a posture reminder or press and hold keys for shortcuts such as push-to-talk.
It needs macOS 14 or newer and Motion permission, plus Accessibility permission for key actions. The author calls it an experiment, and motion stops if the AirPods switch to another device.
