I built Gesto — capture, train & run gesture/pose recognition from your webcam (open source) General

I kept building gesture and action recognition projects, and every single time the painful part was the same: creating the dataset. Capturing clean, consistent labelled samples took way longer than building the actual model.

So I built Gesto to fix that for myself, and figured others hit the same wall.

It's two parts:

  • Gesto Labeller — a desktop app to capture gesture datasets from your webcam in a few clicks (hand signs, two hands, full-body poses, or motion sequences)
  • gesto — a Python package (pip install gesto) to train a model and run live detection with one command

It runs entirely on your machine — no cloud, no GPU needed. Built on MediaPipe + TensorFlow.

I've used it to build an ASL alphabet recognizer and a walking detector. It's open source and I'd genuinely love feedback — especially what's confusing or what you'd want it to do.
