BetterTouchTool lets you customize almost every input on your Mac, from trackpad and Magic Mouse gestures to keyboard shortcuts, mouse buttons and the menu bar. Power users can chain its 600+ actions into automations for nearly any task.

**Key features:**

- Map multi-finger trackpad and Magic Mouse gestures to actions, such as a three-finger click for middle click.
- Set up mouse button chords and smooth scrolling, with Logitech mice supported without extra drivers.
- Create global hotkeys, key sequences and a Hyper Key that acts as all modifiers at once.
- Open a Spotlight-style launcher for apps, windows, files, calendar events, calculations and clipboard history.
- Build floating menus, HUDs, widgets and custom menu bar items with live data.
- Drive Elgato Stream Deck and dozens of other macro pads directly, without vendor software.
- Run different actions depending on the active app, Wi-Fi network or time of day, and script it with AppleScript, JavaScript or a CLI.

A 45-day free trial is available. A Standard license costs $15 with two years of updates, and a Lifetime license costs $25 with updates for as long as the app exists; both cover all your personal Macs and unlock the BTT Mobile companion for iPhone and iPad. BetterTouchTool is also included in Setapp.
