Gaze focus switching: look at a window and it becomes the active one. Per-eye wink clicks: left wink and right wink are separate actions. Face-gesture shortcuts: map gestures to the actions you use most. Notch island: a small live indicator in the notch area shows what Winq detected. No extra hardware: it works with your Mac’s built-in camera, with a short guided calibration. Private by design: all face tracking runs on your Mac, and no video leaves the device.

Partial The app shell, shortcut mapping, and notch indicator are straightforward Mac development, but accurate gaze focus and per-eye wink detection from a webcam require computer-vision work that vibe coding alone won't reliably deliver.
What it would actually take: A build would use Apple's Vision framework or MediaPipe face-landmark tracking from the webcam, with eye-aspect-ratio or landmark-based classifiers to separate left and right winks and gaze estimation for window focus. Calibration, false-positive suppression, and low-latency per-frame processing are the hard parts. This needs computer-vision and signal-tuning expertise plus extensive real-world testing across lighting and face types.
