ShyGlass app blurs Mac screen using AirPods motion sensors when you look away

Developer Max Rovensky released ShyGlass, a Mac menu-bar app that blurs the screen when a user wearing AirPods turns their head past a calibrated angle, using the same head-tracking motion data Apple applies for Spatial Audio. Users set a center position and an adjustable threshold (2° to 30°, default 15°) that triggers the blur effect, which fades away once the head returns to center. A demo video posted last month has drawn over 230,000 views on X.
