01 — THE IDEA
Your movement.
Your way of moving.
A mouse doesn’t have to fit in your hand.
Headmouse translates head movement into pointer movement. Look up or down, tilt left or right, and explore your desktop. A matching blink can trigger a single left click.
Adjust how far a tilt takes you, how quickly the cursor travels, and how much movement it takes to get going. Find the balance that feels right for you.
Read the getting-started guideFind your center.
Face forward and hold still as the initial center is set. Recenter whenever you need.
Make your move.
Move, tune, pause, repeat. Your settings save as you adjust them.
02 — THE ACTUAL CONTROLS
Your desktop.
Your settings.
Four controls. No one-size-fits-all feel.
The native Linux configuration window puts movement and blink settings in one place. Changes save automatically and take effect while running.
- Balance
- Choose how strongly a held tilt maps to a resting position.
- Speed
- Set how quickly your pointer travels.
- Activation
- Adjust the small zone where your pointer stays still.
- Blinks
- Tune how strong a matching pulse needs to be.

03 — THE BROWSER CONTROLLER
The browser
controller.
The project’s browser controller includes Turtle cursor, with settings for position/velocity balance, speed, and activation threshold. This screenshot shows the actual tool.
04 — ROOM TO GROW
One idea.
More ways in.
Starting with one headband and a working Linux release. More head trackers are on the roadmap.
CURRENTLY TESTED
TH21A headband
Initial hardware: the SereniBrain® TH21A, connected over Bluetooth LE. Head movement and blink clicks have been tested on the project’s Linux desktop.
PLANNED
Other head trackers
Support will expand beyond the initial device. Additional models and release dates haven’t been announced.
Platform check
The desktop package targets Ubuntu 26.04 with GNOME 50. Native macOS support is a development handoff, not an available release. Windows desktop control is not currently supported.
05 — YOUR NEXT MOVE
Ready when
you are.
Start with the Linux release, read the setup guide, and make a little room for a new way to move.
HEADMOUSE · EARLY RELEASE 0.3.1The initial release retains its original serenibrain package and command names. Downloads include the project’s personal blink profile; sensitivity may need tuning for you.
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you
make a move.
Is this a SereniBrain product?
No. Headmouse is an independent software project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SereniBrain or its manufacturer. The name identifies compatible hardware only.
Do I need a head tracker?
Yes, for desktop control. The initial release uses the TH21A over Bluetooth LE. Support for other head trackers is planned.
What can blink clicks do?
The current implementation sends a single left click when it detects a matching blink waveform. Right clicks, dragging, and a separate double-click action are not implemented. The estimator is experimental and can also respond to involuntary blinks or similar movements.
Can I use my regular mouse too?
Pause Headmouse before switching to a regular mouse. While active, the initial Linux release owns the pointer position. You can pause or resume from its settings window.
Where does my data go?
The desktop software processes the tracker’s readings locally. Recordings made with the research tools stay on your machine. This website provides project information and downloads; it does not connect to your tracker.
