@willwade Here is the branch with the Mac build.

You can download the DMG as an artifact from the latest action run

When installing the DMG it will do the annoying thing were it wont let you open it and you have to go into system preferences -> security and privacy and allow it from there. You only have to do that when installing, Its fine after that.

When you open EyeCommander you have to grant it permission to your camera, it should ask you for that. When you blink it will ask you for permission to use 'Accessibility' settings, this is what it needs to do a keypress. It should pop up asking for that but if it doesn't you will need to grant it manually.

The keyboard emulator works pretty well for the most part, you can see all the keys its setup to work with here. It should work with most keys, you might have issues if you are pressing CMD or ALT or keys like that but it should be fine with space, enter, letters and numbers etc.

Theres a few differences to note. The only output mode is keyboard. Theres no auto updating. In theory you can use 'launch at startup' on Mac, but I haven't tested it and wouldnt be surprised if it doesnt work, let me know if you need this.

In short, test the specific setup thoroughly before hitting the road with it. I can make tweaks easily now i have figured out the automatic signing.
