About This App

Leap Motion is hand-tracking control software from Ultraleap that lets users control and interact with applications using hand and finger gestures captured by a Leap Motion Controller (a small depth-sensing camera). It is widely used in creative and interactive media applications, including music production, gesture recognition for DJ software, motion capture in TouchDesigner and Max/MSP, VR development, and accessibility interfaces. The software runs as a control panel daemon and exposes hand-tracking data via SDKs for integration into third-party creative tools and applications.

Ultraleap released a new native Apple Silicon-compatible version of their Leap Motion tracking software called Gemini V5, made available in 2023. If you are still running an older Intel-only build of Leap Motion, you should update to Gemini V5, which supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs and is now available at the Ultraleap developer site. Visit the Ultraleap support page and download the current Gemini V5 release for macOS — the installer will serve the native build on M-series Macs. After installation, the control panel and hand-tracking functionality will run natively on your Mac with better performance and battery life. Be aware that integrations with third-party creative software (TouchDesigner, Max/MSP, etc.) may require those applications to be updated separately to work with the new Gemini V5 SDK, as the legacy SDK is incompatible with older external modules — check with the maintainers of any plugins or externals you rely on.
