A light touch on your Magic Mouse is a click. No more loud clicking at night. The people around you will thank you.
Download for MacOne job, done quietly. Tap2Click lives in your menu bar and stays out of the way.
The Magic Mouse click is loud. A tap is not. Work late without waking anyone.
A quick, light touch on the surface becomes a left click. Scrolling and swiping work exactly as before.
Tap with two fingers to open the context menu, just like on a trackpad.
Two taps in a row open files and select words. Can be turned off in the menu.
Fast, Normal or Relaxed. Pick what feels natural for your hand.
Under half a megabyte. Written in Objective-C, no frameworks, no background CPU. Launches at login.
Everything is one click away: turn it on or off, choose the tap speed, toggle double-tap and right-click, set launch at login.
Three steps. Thirty seconds.
Open the DMG and drag Tap2Click to Applications. Launch it. The icon appears in your menu bar.
macOS asks once. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and switch Tap2Click on. This is required to send clicks on your behalf.
Rest your hand on the mouse as usual. A quick touch of the surface is a click. That's it.
The short version.
It is made for the Apple Magic Mouse (any generation). The touch surface is what makes tapping possible. Other mice have no touch surface, so there is nothing to tap.
Rarely. A tap must be short and still: a resting or sliding finger is ignored, and so is any touch during a physical click. If you do get stray clicks, choose a faster tap speed in the menu.
That is the only way a macOS app is allowed to send a click. Tap2Click never reads your screen, keystrokes or clipboard. The source code is open, you can check.
Tap2Click is not in the App Store (Apple does not allow the touch API there). If macOS blocks the first launch, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway.
No. It listens to touch events the mouse already sends and does nothing else. CPU use is zero when idle.
Yes. No trial, no account, no analytics. It is a free app from the Tourist.com team, made for our own homes where clicks at night were a problem, and shared in case yours is the same.
Tap2Click is a small side project of the Tourist.com team. We build a social travel app that connects solo travelers with each other and with 55,000+ local businesses around the world. Tap2Click started because our own Magic Mice were too loud at night, and we thought yours might be too. No price, no catch, just a gift.
