Trackpad & Magic Mouse
Tip-tap
Rest your fingers, then tap another one on the left or right. Combine with the app switcher for a fully gesture-driven app navigation.
Essential automations for your Mac and its accessories.
Mactomator unlocks the true potential of your trackpad, Magic Mouse, keyboard, and other devices, all without tanking your performance. Bind any gesture, button, or key to any action you want.
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 the force-click to whatever you want.
Magic Mouse
Make the Magic Mouse feel like the trackpad
Swiping on the mouse can drive the same live system gestures the trackpad does. It literally lets you use the magic mouse as a trackpad.
⌘
K
P
Keyboard
Key sequences
Tap any key sequence of multiple keys, like a quick double-press, and the action fires the moment you finish it.
Actions
$backup.sh
✓ done
Automation
Run a script
If you need a custom action, simply fire off a shell script or AppleScript.
App switcher
Drive ⌘-Tab with a gesture
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 Dark mode Sleep & lock Move the pointer Per-app scoping
The editor
Dead-simple to setup.
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.
A closer look
Window management, up close.
The action most people trigger first. Snap a window into a fully-customizable grid, walk it cell to cell from the keyboard, or maximize and re-center it in place.
⌥+
1
snap to zone
Snap into a grid zone
Build your own grid, then drop any window straight into a zone.
⌘+
→
hold to walk
Walk it across the grid
Hold a key and step the window from cell to cell, one tap per hop.
Force-click
→ Maximize
Maximize & unmaximize
Fill the screen in one move, then restore it to the exact size and spot it had before.
tip-tap
→ Center
Center it in place
Drop a window dead-center on its screen, at the size it already is.
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.
Regular mice, too
It's not just for Apple hardware. Remap the buttons on any ordinary mouse: the extra side buttons, middle-click, or a modified 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-touch 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.
