Mac Mouse Fix
Free 30-day trial (based on usage, not calendar days), then $2.99 one-time · Open source
Price checked at source September 18, 2026.
Brings Trackpad-style gestures — Mission Control, App Exposé, Launchpad, smooth momentum scrolling — to a plain third-party mouse, with a 30-day free trial then a $2.99 one-time purchase.
Our take
The pitch, straight from its own homepage, is "Make Your $10 Mouse Better Than an Apple Trackpad": hold a side button and drag to trigger Mission Control, App Exposé, Launchpad, or Show Desktop, plus smooth momentum-based scrolling and full button remapping. Built by a single developer (Noah Nuebling) as open-source software, free for 30 days of actual use (not calendar days) and then $2.99 (plus tax) to own, one-time, no subscription. Requires a mouse with at least five buttons to unlock all the trackpad-style gestures; the app does not currently support Apple’s own Magic Mouse.

What it does
Trackpad-style gestures from a mouse
Mission Control, App Exposé, Launchpad, Show Desktop, and app-specific swipe gestures via a held side button.

The deal
- Free for 30 days of actual use
- $2.99 one-time purchase (plus local tax) to own, no subscription
- Source code available on GitHub
Worth knowing: Full trackpad-gesture support requires a mouse with at least 5 buttons; fewer buttons still works but with less access to features. Apple’s own Magic Mouse is not currently supported.
