NodScroll

Hands-free web browser: hold a gesture, nod to scroll. Private, fully on-device.

Browse hands-free. Scroll with your head.

NodScroll is a web browser you control without touching the screen. The front camera follows your face, and the page scrolls while you hold your chosen gesture and nod: head down scrolls down, head up scrolls up. Release the gesture and scrolling stops.

Perfect for the moments when your hands are busy, messy, or unavailable:

• Recipes while you cook
• Sheet music and chord charts while you play
• Workout plans mid-exercise
• Repair guides and manuals while you work
• Browsing with limited mobility

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick your scroll gesture — one eye closed, a smile, or an open mouth — and try it in the practice area on the intro screen.
2. Enter any web address, or start from the example page that loads on launch.
3. Hold the gesture and tilt your head to scroll. Let go to stop.

The gesture keeps scrolling deliberate, so talking, laughing, or simply looking around never moves the page by accident. You can switch gestures at any time from the menu.

FEATURES

• Head-controlled scrolling up and down, with a small live camera view you can tap to pause or resume
• Three selectable scroll gestures plus a live practice area
• Auto-scroll mode with an adjustable speed slider, for completely hands-free and face-free reading — the camera switches off to save battery
• Favorites, so the pages you use often are one tap away
• Full browser basics: address bar, back and forward, reload, desktop-site mode, and share
• Works in portrait and landscape
• Available in 13 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Hindi, and Arabic

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

All face tracking runs locally on your device with an on-device machine-learning model. Camera frames are analyzed in memory in real time and discarded immediately. Nothing is ever recorded, saved to your device, or transmitted anywhere. NodScroll has no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no trackers, and it collects no personal data. The camera permission is used for head tracking only.

If you decline the camera permission, the browser still works normally — you just scroll by touch or use auto-scroll instead.
