Control your music with a wave of your hand.
Gestura turns your phone's front camera into a hands-free remote for Spotify, YouTube Music and any media app — no buttons, no shouting at assistants.
Three small steps, one steady hand.
Gestura runs an on-device hand tracker, classifies your sign, then routes the action to whatever's playing.
Point the camera at your hand
Prop up your phone, open Gestura. The front camera tracks 21 landmarks at ~30 FPS.
Make a gesture
Pick from a small vocabulary: OK to play, open palm to pause, swipe left or right to skip.
Your media reacts
Play, pause and skip — across Spotify, YouTube Music, Pocket Casts and any media-session app.
Runs in the background — even with your phone locked
Open your media app and keep it focused — that's how Gestura is meant to be used. But the camera tracker also keeps running while the phone is locked, so a quick gesture is enough to skip a track without ever waking the screen.
A vocabulary you'll remember in a minute.
Four signs, mapped to the controls you actually use.
Different on each platform — by design.
Android exposes a system-wide media bus, so Gestura can drive whatever you're listening to. iOS has no such bus, so Gestura is the player and you sign in to Spotify or Apple Music inside it.
Gestura sends play / pause / next / previous through Android's
MediaSession bus. If the app shows a play / pause card
in your notification shade, Gestura can drive it — keep listening
the way you already do.
- Auto-start & stop with playing media
- Keeps running while the screen is off
- Hardware volume — up / down via wrist rotation
iOS doesn't let one app drive another app's playback, so Gestura is the player. Sign in to Apple Music (MusicKit) or Spotify (official iOS SDK, Premium required) and Gestura streams through its own player — search a track, pick a playlist, then control it with your hand.
- Search, playlists, queue — inside Gestura
- Touch player or hands-free session
- Foreground only — iOS pauses the camera when backgrounded
— Volume is the iOS system slider · no hardware volume gestures —
Gesture detection uses the camera continuously. Keep your phone plugged in to avoid battery drain, and don't use while operating heavy machinery.
On the App Store and Google Play.
Gestura is in private beta while we polish the on-device tracker. The full release is landing on both stores — drop your email and we'll ping you the day it ships.
