CurFlow was recommended to me for creating custom gestures, and I wanted to test whether it genuinely optimizes daily workflow. Its design nails the macOS aesthetic, integrating flawlessly into the interface, which gives a great first impression upon granting the mandatory accessibility permissions.
Performance and the major precision flaw
When testing basic copy and paste commands, I discovered a critical usability issue: out of the box, it is way too sensitive. It demands an eighty-five percent stroke accuracy, and since no one draws a perfectly neat gesture on the first try, you initially fail almost every time. I had to change the settings and lower the level to sixty-five percent to achieve a fluid response.
From there, the technical behavior improves noticeably:
- There is not much to it when mapping actions: you draw the stroke and assign the action.
- It supports script execution through the Shortcuts app, for now making up for the lack of AppleScript.
This is a fairly early version, so it lacks many advanced options. However, it doesn’t need a thousand features to stand out; after adjusting the sensitivity, the app delivers and does what it is supposed to do, proving to be operational and quite promising.
