Powerful automation, small footprint.
Triggers → actions
Dozens of triggers and actions.
If you can think it, we can code it. Pick a trigger, and then an action. A subset of our (many) triggers and actions is shown below.
Gesture and key triggers
Trackpad
Force click
Go beyond what macOS provides and bind force click to whatever you want.
Magic Mouse
Use your Magic Mouse as a trackpad
We let you do literally everything you do on a trackpad on a Magic Mouse. This includes precise pinch to zoom and Exposé. We support more fingers, too.
⌘
K
P
Keyboard
Key sequences
Tap any sequence of multiple keys, such as a quick double press, and fire any action you want, including simulating another key.
Mouse triggers
Any mouse
Universal back and forward
Make your mouse's back and forward buttons work in any app, even the ones that ignore them.
Any mouse
Mouse gestures
Hold a button and drag in a direction to run an action, or to swipe and pinch live.
⌥
+
Mouse & keyboard
Combos and sequences
Press mouse buttons and keys together, or one after another, in any mix.
Any mouse
Wheel and tilt
Turn the wheel a notch up or down, or tilt it left or right, with or without modifiers held.
Actions
$backup.sh
✓ done
Automation
Run a script
If you need a custom action, simply fire off a shell script or AppleScript.
App switcher
⌘-Tab without leaving the trackpad
Open the native app switcher (⌘-Tab) and step through apps from the trackpad or mouse. No keyboard needed!
Menu commands
Fire any app's menu command
Reach into menus of any app and trigger a command by its name. Perfect to automate prev/next actions in apps like Slack.
And plenty more: Media & volume Mission Control and App Exposé Dark mode Sleep & lock Move the pointer Per-app scoping Several actions per trigger Repeat while held Fine volume and brightness Show desktop Toggle full screen Switch Spaces Open apps, files and links Press any key or shortcut Hide and minimize apps Move windows between displays On-screen message when it triggers
Performance
Use a gaming mouse without slowing down your Mac.
If you use a high-frequency gaming mouse and more than one screen, you have surely seen WindowServer take up all your CPU and the system slow to a crawl. With Mactomator, this is no longer an issue.
Mactomator is the first app that lets you lower the polling rate of any mouse, significantly reducing the strain on WindowServer. What's more, it can disable this while you are in Game Mode, so gaming is never affected.
Mice
Use your mouse as a trackpad.
Swipe between Spaces and pinch to zoom live, from the Magic Mouse or any other mouse. You can also configure advanced, precise smooth scrolling for regular mice.
Pinch to zoom on the Magic Mouse
Perform pinch to zoom as you would on a trackpad. It works the same way, not in steps but in one continuous, controllable motion.
Pinch with any mouse
Hold a button and drag up (or in any direction you choose) to perform a real, live zoom gesture, just like a trackpad pinch.
Swipe with any mouse
Hold a button and drag sideways, and you can swipe between Spaces live (or do literally anything else).
Smooth scrolling, inversion, and acceleration
Configure smooth scrolling, invert the scroll direction, and adjust mouse acceleration individually for each mouse.
Displays
Never lose your Dock, move your cursor everywhere.
With Mactomator, your cursor can now move between screens that aren't touching, jumping across the gap. And with DockGuard, your Dock never gets lost again.
Cross where screens don't touch
When your screens don't line up, keep pushing the cursor toward the next screen and it moves across the gap. This also works while you drag windows and files.
Keep the Dock in place with DockGuard
Ever get annoyed when your Dock moves to another screen by accident? DockGuard fixes that permanently.
Keyboards
Per-keyboard layouts.
Regular macOS has one layout for the whole system. With Mactomator, you can completely customize the layout of individual keyboards.
We also let you do quick modifier swaps, so you can use Windows and gaming keyboards much more easily.
A closer look
Simple window management.
One of our many actions. You can snap a window to a fully customizable grid, maximize, recenter, move between screens, and much more.
e.g.
⌥+
1
snap to zone
Snap into a grid zone
Build your own grid, then drop any window straight into a zone.
e.g.
⌘+
→
hold to walk
Move across a grid
Hold the key and step the window from cell to cell.
e.g.
Force click
→ Maximize
Maximize & unmaximize
Fill the screen in one move, then restore it to the exact size and spot it had before.
e.g.
tip-tap
→ Center
Center it in place
Instantly move a window to the center of the screen.
The editor
Dead simple to set up.
Don't believe us? Here's how intuitive it is.
When you
Mactomator will
When you swipe up with three fingers, Mactomator will maximize the window.
Beyond gestures
There's a lot more under the hood.
Ordinary mice, per-device triggers, per-app behavior, profiles you can share and so much more.
Other devices, too
It's not just for Apple hardware. Remap the buttons on any ordinary mouse or keyboard: the extra buttons, middle-click, or a modified single click.
Per-device
Bind a specific device to any trigger. Two keyboards, or a trackpad and a mouse? The same key/gesture can do one thing on one device and something else (or nothing) on another.
Per-app
The same trigger, tailored to each app. A Force click can flip Slack channels in one app and open Mission Control in another. Mactomator runs whichever action fits the app in front.
Shareable profiles
Group your triggers and actions under as many profiles as you like. Export them and share them easily with friends and coworkers.
How it works
Set up in three steps.
Do it once. After that it runs in the background and stays out of your way.
