v0.1.0

The first public release of TrackpadProMax. It turns the MacBook Force Touch trackpad into a pressure-sensitive, programmable input surface with haptic feedback.

Highlights

  • Pressure gestures: light, medium and hard presses, 1–4 finger taps, corner and edge zones bound to shortcuts, clicks, apps, Shortcuts or AppleScript. A hard press never also clicks the button under the pointer.
  • Mode wheel: four-finger double tap opens a radial wheel. Slide to pick with a haptic tick per step, tap to switch. Normal opens a sub-wheel of your gesture modes.
  • Control surface: slide along the trackpad's edges to set volume, display brightness and keyboard backlight with haptic detents. Hard-press the volume bar to pick and switch audio outputs (AirPods, Bluetooth speakers…).
  • Media surface: now playing, scrub along the bottom edge, swipe for tracks.
  • Window tiling: split the screen into 2, 3 or 4 windows without the cursor. Pick a split, drag the dividers, drag apps into place.
  • App launcher and Quick Settings (Dark Mode, Night Shift, Keep Awake, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mute, Mic Off, Lock Screen).
  • Gesture Discovery HUD and a live pressure visualizer.

See the changelog for the full list.

Install

  1. Download TrackpadProMax-0.1.0.zip. It is a universal app for Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 15 or later.
  2. Unzip it and move TrackpadProMax.app to /Applications.
  3. The app is not notarized yet. Open it once, then choose System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway (or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TrackpadProMax.app).
  4. Grant Accessibility when asked. It is needed for shortcuts, clicks and window tiling.

Good to know

  • Uses Apple's private MultitouchSupport framework for raw pressure data, so it is distributed here rather than on the App Store.
  • macOS asks once for Automation (Music/Spotify info, Dark Mode) and Bluetooth (Quick Settings toggle).
  • Window tiling turns Stage Manager off, because Stage Manager keeps only one app on stage.
  • Tested on a MacBook Air M4 with macOS 27. Reports from other Macs and Magic Trackpads are very welcome.
