The first release of TouchDown, a fork of Touch Up by Sebastian Hueber.

What's new compared with Touch Up 1.1

Screens that are detected but don't respond to touch

  • TouchDown asks for every permission it needs. Touch Up could be granted Accessibility and still have every click and pointer move silently dropped, because it never asked for the separate permission to send mouse events.
  • Screens that start up as a mouse are switched into multitouch mode on connect, as Windows does. TouchDown also ignores the screen's built-in mouse fallback, which Touch Up sometimes locked onto. Touch stopped working until relaunch, and sometimes even after.

New

  • Calibration, for screens whose touch doesn't line up with the picture: touch and hold five targets, try the result, then save.
  • Settings follow the screen, not the USB port it's plugged into.

Changed

  • Telling a scroll from a drag is reliable now. A quick swipe scrolls; rest your finger for a moment (0.25 s by default), then move, to drag. Small wobbles no longer turn taps into scrolls.

Install

  1. Download TouchDown-1.2.0.zip below, unzip it, and move TouchDown to your Applications folder.
  2. Open it. TouchDown isn't signed by Apple, so macOS blocks the first launch. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway.
  3. When asked, turn TouchDown on under Privacy & Security → Accessibility, then quit it from the menu bar icon and open it again.

Requires macOS 12 or later. Runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

If you've used Touch Up, quit it first. Running both at once doubles every click.

Trouble? See Troubleshooting, or report your screen.
