Rust Just Made Your Mouse Optional on Linux and Mac

Someone shipped Aegis this week. Hold a hotkey, say something, release. The cursor flies to whatever you named, or the action just fires. That is the whole product.

The twist: it is written in Rust. Not a Python wrapper. Not an Electron app. Native, low-latency, actually fast. This is the kind of voice control that does not feel like a demo.

The workflow in four moves:

  • 🎯 Hold your hotkey
  • 🗣️ Say the target (“search bar”, “close button”, “send”)
  • ✋ Release
  • ⚡ Cursor lands. Or the action fires. Done.

No clicking. No mousing around. Just talk.

Pro tip: This is gold for keyboard-heavy setups. Think vim users who still grab the mouse for 10% of tasks. Aegis kills that 10%. Pair it with a tiling window manager and you have a nearly mouse-free workflow on Linux.

The project is open source at github.com/danielbusnz-lgtm/Aegis. Early days, but the core loop already works.
