Gestures for macOS 1.0

First public release.

What it does

Gestures for macOS listens to your trackpad and runs a different action depending on which app is in front. For example, a two-finger swipe can switch tabs in Safari and go back a folder in Finder.

Features

• Gestures: swipes (2/3/4 fingers), pinch, rotate, taps and holds, swipes along the trackpad edge, corner taps, and your own recorded custom gestures
• Actions: common shortcuts (Back, Forward, Close Window, New Tab, and more), system actions (volume, brightness, play/pause, screenshot, switch desktops), items from the active app's menus, and recorded keyboard shortcuts
• Set gestures for all apps, or for a specific app (app settings take priority)
• Warns you when a gesture conflicts with a built-in macOS gesture
• Diagnostic log

Requirements

• macOS 14 or later
• A trackpad (Magic Mouse is not supported)
• Accessibility permission (Input Monitoring is optional)
