Daytripper is an open-source hardware laser tripwire consisting of a wireless transmitter and a USB receiver that hides windows, locks the computer, or runs a custom script when motion is detected. It uses a laser ToF sensor with a 120cm detection range and works as a USB keyboard on all major operating systems.
Use cases
- hide all windows instantly when someone approaches my desk
- lock my computer automatically when I walk away
- trigger a custom script when motion is detected near my monitor
- build a DIY laser tripwire alarm
- avoid getting caught slacking off at work
- automate actions based on physical presence detection
When to choose
- you want a physical presence-triggered privacy or automation action on your computer
- you want open-source, hackable hardware with custom script support
- you need a plug-and-play USB device that works across Windows, Linux, and macOS without drivers
When to avoid
- you only need software-based screen locking or window hiding without hardware
- you need motion detection beyond 120cm
- you want a purely software solution with no assembly or purchase required
