How it works

Three steps from blank corners to real shortcuts.

1

Pick a corner

Choose top-left, top-right, bottom-left, or bottom-right from the visual trackpad map.

2

Assign the tap

Double-tap for frequent actions, triple-tap for advanced actions that need a little more intent.

3

Run it anywhere

Keep the helper running in the background and trigger your shortcuts across macOS.

Why corners?

Spatial memory beats shortcut clutter.

Trackpad Shortcuts gives you a small set of memorable physical zones instead of another list of key combinations to remember. Every action can be disabled, tested, and adjusted.

Eight assignments

Four corners, each with double-tap and triple-tap actions.

Useful action types

Open apps, switch input sources, run Shortcuts, open URLs, toggle system actions, or launch scripts.

Accident protection

Per-gesture toggles, cooldowns, tap timing, and adjustable corner zones.
