The middle click your Mac never had. Three-finger click or tap, fn+click, or Force Click — on the trackpad and the Magic Mouse.
What it does, what it costs, and every gesture it adds — the site explains it properly.
brew install artginzburg/tap/wheelclickOr download the .dmg — notarized, signed, and the same build.
Three-finger click and three-finger tap are free forever, with no account and no countdown. A licence unlocks what WheelClick adds on top: fn+click, Force Click, the Magic Mouse gestures, middle-drag for CAD, autoscroll and per-app rules.
WheelClick's source is closed, so there is no app code in this repository. What lives here is everything that benefits from being public:
- Releases — every version, signed and notarized. The Homebrew cask installs from here.
- Issues — bugs, read by the person who writes the app.
- Discussions — the gestures you wish existed, and anything you're trying to work out.
- Localizations, once there are any to keep.
Broken — open an issue. Please say which macOS version and which Mac; trackpad behaviour differs more between models than it has any right to.
Missing — start a discussion: Ideas for a gesture or a feature you want, Q&A for anything you're trying to figure out. Requests live there rather than in Issues so that an open issue always means something is actually wrong.
Homebrew's own cask index accepts a third-party app once its repository clears 75 stars or 30 watchers. WheelClick has one of each today.
That is the entire difference between
brew install artginzburg/tap/wheelclick # today
brew install wheelclick # afterso if the app earned it, the Watch button is the most useful thing you can click here.
WheelClick is its successor, by the same author — and the middle click MiddleClick gave you, three-finger click and three-finger tap, is free in WheelClick permanently. MiddleClick itself stays where it is: free, GPL-3.0, still on Homebrew, nothing removed.
