FunOura GitHub

Point at your Mac.

FunOura turns a spare Oura Ring into a cursor, a clicker and a slide remote. No camera and no cloud, just the ring on your finger.

Up and running in four steps.

FunOura is free and open source. You build it on your own Mac from GitHub, and the first build takes a few minutes.

  • macOS 14 Sonoma or newer, on Apple silicon or Intel
  • A spare Oura Ring and its charging dock (tested on Ring 4)

  1. Install the tools

    Apple’s Command Line Tools bring Swift, git and Python. Rust builds open_oura, the program that talks to the ring. Skip whatever you already have.

    Swift, git and Python 
    xcode-select --install
    Rust 
    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

  2. Get FunOura and build it

    setup.sh checks your tools, downloads open_oura, applies FunOura’s small patch and builds the app. It’s safe to run again.

    git clone https://github.com/akashxn/FunOura.gitcd FunOura./setup.sh

  3. Pair your ring

    Pairing gives the ring a new key, so it stops working with the Oura app and your Oura account until you reset it and set it up there again. Use a spare ring, not the one you wear every day.

    Reset it on its charging dock first. Take the ring off the dock, put it back and wait two seconds, then flip the dock, ring and all:

    1. Upside downuntil blue
    2. Uprightuntil red
    3. Upside downuntil magenta
    4. Uprightuntil yellow

    Yellow means the reset has started. A few minutes later the light blinks blue, and the ring is ready to pair.

    ./pair.sh

    macOS asks whether your terminal app may use Bluetooth: allow it. If pairing stops with “Abort trap: 6”, see Troubleshooting.

  4. Open FunOura

    open funoura/FunOura.app

    Click the ring in your menu bar. Allow Bluetooth when macOS asks, and turn on FunOura in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Accessibility. Then open Hands Free and click Calibrate: five quick poses fit the cursor to your hand.
