Mac Remapper 1.0.1

Two new macro steps, update notices, and a fix for the menu bar switch.

New

  • Scroll step: scroll up or down by a number of pixels you type in. It scrolls whatever is under the pointer, just like your scroll wheel.
  • Open Webpage step: type a link and the macro opens it in your default browser. You can skip the https://, so "apple.com" works too. Links that don't look valid are flagged in the editor.
  • Update notices: Mac Remapper now checks for new versions at launch and every 12 hours. When a newer release exists, the menu bar menu shows Update Available; click it to open the release page. The check only reads the public release list on GitHub, and nothing about you or your keystrokes is sent. Installing updates is still manual.

Fixed

  • Menu bar switch: the on/off switch at the top of the menu bar menu showed gray while remapping was on, until you clicked it. It now shows blue whenever remapping is on.

Updating from 1.0.0

  1. Quit Mac Remapper from its menu bar menu.

  2. Download MacRemapper.dmg below, open it, and drag Mac Remapper into Applications. Choose Replace when asked. Your profiles and mappings are kept.

  3. Open the app. macOS may ask you to approve it again under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

  4. Turn Accessibility access back on:

    1. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
    2. If Mac Remapper is listed, select it and remove it with –.
    3. Open the app again and click Grant Access….

    macOS ties this permission to each build of an app that isn't signed with an Apple Developer certificate.

Requirements: macOS 13 Ventura or later. It's a universal build, so it runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
