01
You move a finger.
An optical sensor on the underside of the band reads micro-motion at your fingertips. A 6-axis IMU tracks the orientation of your hand.
How it works
Sensors. Silicon.
Signal.
Tap turns finger movement into Bluetooth commands. It uses two sensors, an on-device classifier, and the same HID profile your keyboard uses — which is why it works with everything.
02
The chip recognizes the gesture.
A low-power processor inside the housing classifies the motion as a tap, pinch, swipe or air gesture — all in under 40 milliseconds, on-device.
03
It sends a Bluetooth command.
Tap pairs as a standard HID keyboard and mouse. Each gesture is mapped to a keystroke, shortcut or macro — and your devices respond instantly.
Inside the housing
On-device. By design.
No audio or video ever leaves the band. Gesture detection runs locally, in real time, on a low-power processor with no cloud dependency. Your data stays on your wrist.

The gesture library
0 gestures, five families.
Tap recognizes five distinct gesture families. Each can be mapped to a keystroke, shortcut, macro or AI prompt through the TapMapper app.
-
0
Taps
Single and multi-finger taps. Maps to keys, characters and chord shortcuts.
-
0
Pinches
Pinch your thumb to a finger. The default trigger for AI commands.
-
0
Surface swipes
Drag a finger across a surface for scroll, scrub and directional input.
-
0
Thumb swipes
Slide your thumb across an adjacent finger — discrete, deniable input.
-
0
Air gestures
Tilt, rotate and flick your wrist. Cursor control and quick commands.
