starman-tech/mousepods is a Python project that reads the motion sensors of AirPods on Linux and uses head movement or earphone tilt to operate the mouse pointer. The latest release in the GitHub repository is v1.0.0. The repository publicly documents the connection method used by AirPods 3, Apple RemoteHID (HID over AACP), and also covers the sensor report formats. The provided information does not list the individual changes added in v1.0.0.
The project connects AirPods sensor information to pointer control on Linux while also explaining how RemoteHID delivers sensor data. The README covers not only the AirPods 3 path but also the separate sensor path of Pro devices. There is a run mode that shows diagnostic information without moving the cursor, and the test suite lists 159 checks. It is written in Python and uses the Apache-2.0 license.
The README distinguishes behavior confirmed on the device from experimental-stage features. So rather than accepting the documented paths and the experimental features as equal, it is worth checking the evidence for each feature. This repository is both an implementation that connects AirPods 3 head tracking to pointer control on Linux and a reference material for looking into RemoteHID.
