Description
AirVeil gently blurs your whole Mac screen as you turn your head, then clears it when you look back. Set a comfort zone for small movements, pause with a shortcut, and reconnect automatically when your AirPods become available. Runs locally, without a camera. Free, source-available beta for macOS 14+ and compatible AirPods.

Could you build this?
Yes Apple's CoreMotion framework natively exposes AirPods head tracking via CMHeadphoneMotionManager, and toggling a blurred overlay window in macOS is standard API functionality.
