Hey everyone! I’m Ahmed, the creator of ScrollPods, a free app born from a personal experience that lets you scroll hands-free by just nodding up or down with your AirPods on your Mac system wide.
The Problem
I often found myself sitting in front of my Mac with my baby boy resting on my chest, trying to sooth him. I wanted an intuitive way to keep scrolling through documents without needing to reach for my mouse and risking upsetting him again. I'm sure most parents will relate to this.
The Solution
I explored existing hands-free technologies but none quite met my needs in terms of functionality, intuitiveness and affordability. Eventually I had the idea, what if I could use the motion sensors already inside my AirPods?
That’s how ScrollPods was born. A simple and intuitive way to scroll hands-free without relying on cameras or compromising privacy.
The Feedback
Since releasing ScrollPods, I’ve received amazing feedback from people with very different needs. From professors doing a lot of reading to individuals with neuromuscular conditions who have found relief from pain by not needing their hands to scroll.
Give It a Try!
ScrollPods is free and I’d love for you to try it if you have a Mac and compatible AirPods. Whether you’re looking for more convenience, comfort or accessibility. You will be ready to scroll hands-free in seconds.
ScrollPods has only strengthened my belief that technology should be intuitive, inclusive and affordable. This is exactly what I want to keep building towards.
