Mac Mouse Fix overview

Mac Mouse Fix is a simple way to make your mouse better.

Features:
  • Switch Between Spaces, activate Mission Control, Launchpad, and Quick Look, or use the side buttons to navigate through pages in your browser. All of that and more. Right from your mouse.
  • New Smooth Scrolling algorithm that strikes a perfect balance between fluidity and control. Allows you to change mouse scrolling direction independently of trackpad scrolling direction.
  • 100% free, light on system resources, and fully open source. Plugs into System Preferences. There is no status bar item. Mouse Fix aims to be as clutter free as possible.

Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. Please consider making a donation to help support development.

What’s new in version 3.0.4

Enhanced Privacy & Efficiency
  • 3.0.4 introduces a new offline license validation system that minimizes internet connections as much as possible. This improves privacy and saves your computer's system resources. When licensed, the app now operates 100% offline!
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug where macOS would sometimes get stuck when using 'Click and Drag' for 'Spaces & Mission Control'.
  • Fixed a bug where keyboard shortcuts in System Settings would sometimes get deleted when using Mac Mouse Fix 'Click' actions such as 'Mission Control'.
  • Fixed a bug where the app would sometimes stop working and show a notification that the 'Free days are over' to users who had already bought the app.
  • If you experienced this bug, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. You can apply for a refund here.
  • Improved the way the application retrieves its main window, which may have fixed a bug where the 'Activate License' screen sometimes fails to appear.
Usability Improvements
  • Made it impossible to enter spaces and linebreaks in the text field on the 'Activate License' screen. This was a common point of confusion, because it is very easy to accidentally select a hidden linebreak when copying your license key from Gumroad's emails.
  • These update notes are automatically translated for non-English users (Powered by Claude). I hope this is helpful! If you encounter any problems with it, let me know. This is a first glimpse of a new translation system that I've been developing over the past year.
Dropped (Unofficial) Support for macOS 10.14 Mojave
  • Mac Mouse Fix 3 officially supports macOS 11 Big Sur and later. However, for users willing to accept some glitches and graphical issues, Mac Mouse Fix 3.0.3 and earlier could still be used on macOS 10.14.4 Mojave. Mac Mouse Fix 3.0.4 drops that support and now requires macOS 10.15 Catalina.
  • I apologize for any inconvenience caused by this. This change allowed me to implement the improved licensing system using modern Swift features. Mojave users can continue using Mac Mouse Fix 3.0.3 or the latest version of Mac Mouse Fix 2. I hope that's a good solution for everyone.
Under-the-hood Improvements
  • Implemented a new 'MFDataClass' system allowing for more powerful data modeling while keeping Mac Mouse Fix's config file human-readable and human-editable.
  • Built support for adding payment platforms other than Gumroad. So in the future, there might be localized checkouts, and the app could be sold to different countries.
  • Improved logging which allows me to create more effective "Debug Builds" for users who experience hard-to-reproduce bugs.
  • Many other small improvements and cleanup work.

Hi everyone! Developer here. Version 1.0.4, fixing a message that Mac Mouse Fix 'will damage your computer' is now available on mousefix.org. I recommend you download it there until the MacUpdate listing is updated from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4. To learn more about what was going on, see this GitHub Issue: https://github.com/noah-nuebling/mac-mouse-fix/issues/95.

@ElbertLol1273 Mac Mouse Fix has since been updated to support Catalina, if you wanna check it out. (I'm the Noah, the developer, so my rating might be biased haha)
