Motune 1.8.4 improves gesture control across Apple Watch wrist and Digital Crown orientations and refines the brand visuals. • Gesture recognition now adapts to your Watch settings, whether you wear it on your left or right wrist and keep the Digital Crown on either side • Refined transparency in the Motune logo and wordmark for a cleaner appearance

This update includes three main changes: 1. Gesture model settings are easier to scan. The list now shows model titles by default, while model details, validation metrics, and thresholds can be expanded when needed. 2. Settings now includes a feedback shortcut, so you can email me directly if you run into a problem or have an idea. 3. Russian language support has been added. Thanks to chits_82reiki for suggesting it. I also want to share a personal note with this release. Motune is my first app. I spent a lot of time on it, from product design to Apple Watch wrist gesture recognition, and even built a dedicated gesture data collection tool to improve and compare the models. My hope was to make a small utility that feels useful when running, cycling, commuting, wearing gloves, or simply when touching earbuds or speaking to Siri is inconvenient. I also tried to do some growth work on X and Reddit to find people who might need it. I am not very good at marketing, and some of those attempts even got me muted or restricted. Over time, I realized that Motune may still not have found the exact user pain point or the right way to reach the people who would benefit from it. So I have decided to keep Motune free forever. If it helps a few people, that is already meaningful to me. There is no account, no subscription, and no paywall. It is simply a small tool for controlling your current music playback with Apple Watch wrist gestures. If you have any feedback, please tell me. I will keep iterating, fixing issues, improving recognition, and trying to make Motune better.
