GazeBar is free software for Windows. With an eyetracker, you look at a place on the screen, then choose what to do there: click, type, scroll a page. No hands needed.
A circle follows your gaze. Look at a place for a short moment, and GazeBar offers actions.
Click, double click, right click, drag and drop, copy and paste.
Small buttons are enlarged so you hit them easily.
Type anywhere, with word prediction that saves time.
Pages scroll smoothly when you look up or down.
Speed, circle size, delays: everything is changed with the eyes, and each person can keep their own profiles. There is a game mode too.
For people who cannot use their hands: tetraplegia, ALS (motor neurone disease), muscular dystrophy, accidents… and for the family and carers who help them set up their computer.
You need a Windows computer and a Tobii eyetracker. GazeBar is tested every day with a Tobii Dynavox PCEye 5; other models have not been tried yet. The interface is in English and French.
GazeBar is designed by a tetraplegic person with ALS (Charcot disease), for himself. He builds it by voice and gaze, with the help of the AI assistant Claude.
The goal: simple software, shaped by everyday life, where every action takes as little effort as possible. Since November 2026 he uses only GazeBar to control his computer.
GazeBar is free and open source: if you are in the same situation, we hope it can help you too.
