For MacBook trackpads
All your controls, under one finger.
One-time purchase · macOS 14 or later · Apple silicon
Drag along an edge of the trackpad above, or double-tap a top corner. It's live.
The middle of your trackpad works exactly as before. TrackEdge only listens to a thin strip along each edge, and only when a touch starts there.
Slide up and down for volume, in the same steps as the volume keys.
Brightness of the built-in display, with the familiar on-screen indicator.
Double-tap a corner to mute, open an app or a website, press a key combination or run a Shortcut. You choose.
Swipe sideways to skip to the next or previous track. Tap to play or pause, if you like.
Corner actions
Give each top corner of the trackpad a job. Double-tap to open the app you live in, a website you check all day, a key combination or anything from the Shortcuts app.
Or keep it classic: mute, play or pause. Try both corners in the demo
The small things are the whole point. TrackEdge was tuned slide by slide until it stopped feeling like an add-on.
Every step comes with a light haptic click from the Force Touch trackpad, so you can feel the level change without looking.
While you slide, the cursor freezes in place and comes back exactly where you left it.
Resting hands, typing and clicks near the edge don't count. A gesture must start inside the edge.
Hold Shift and Option while sliding for quarter steps, just like the keyboard.
The same volume and brightness display macOS shows for the keys. Nothing new to learn.
Choose what each corner does, put brightness on the right, limit slides to the lower part of the trackpad, require a modifier key, or set how wide the edges are and how fast they respond.
Touches never leave your Mac. The only network traffic is a license check and update checks.
A native app in the menu bar. No Dock icon, next to no CPU while you work.
A short welcome guide grants the one permission TrackEdge needs, then lets you try each gesture on your own trackpad before you close it.
TrackEdge sits in your menu bar. Click it to see both levels at a glance, switch gestures on and off, or adjust how a slide feels. Everything else lives in Settings, set once and forgotten.
No subscription and no account. Your license key arrives by email a minute after checkout, with free updates forever.

Macs with Apple silicon on macOS 14 Sonoma or later: a MacBook with its built-in Force Touch trackpad, or any Mac with a Magic Trackpad.
Yes. The edges and corners work the same on a Magic Trackpad, whether it sits next to a MacBook or on the desk of a Mac mini, iMac or Mac Studio. Gestures are measured in millimetres, so a slide feels the same on the bigger surface, and with two trackpads connected, the one you touch is the one in charge. Brightness needs the Mac's built-in screen, so on a Mac mini, a Mac Studio or a closed MacBook the brightness edge stays off. Volume, media and corners work everywhere.
No. A gesture only starts when your finger lands inside a thin edge strip (10% of the width by default), and TrackEdge ignores palms, typing and multi-finger gestures. You can make the edges narrower in Settings.
Yes. In Settings → Gestures → Corners, give the top-left or top-right corner an action: open an app (double-tap again to hide it), a web page in the browser you pick, a file or folder, press a keyboard shortcut, or run a shortcut from the Shortcuts app. The top-left corner mutes until you change it, the welcome guide asks what the top-right one should do, and a corner without an action stays a normal part of the trackpad. The bottom corners are left to the media strip.
To press the volume and brightness keys and your corner shortcuts for you, and to keep stray clicks near the edge out of your apps. TrackEdge doesn't record what you type, and nothing leaves your Mac.
Download and open TrackEdge, then paste the license key from your purchase email. The welcome guide asks for it, and you can also find Enter License Key in the menu bar.
Open your account and sign in with the email you used at checkout: your key, receipts and activated Macs are there. To move to a new Mac, deactivate the old one in TrackEdge (Settings → About) or remove it in your account.
Yes. It needs the internet once to activate. After that it checks the license now and then and keeps working for 30 days without a connection.
