Common problems
My gesture is not working: check Accessibility
Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and enable MidClick. Reopen MidClick and check that your mouse or trackpad gesture is enabled. The receiving app determines how it responds; try a link in another app or check the ignored-app list.
What do I need to use MidClick?
A Mac with macOS 13 Ventura or later, an Intel or Apple silicon processor, and a Magic Mouse, built-in MacBook trackpad or Magic Trackpad. Grant MidClick Accessibility permission during setup to enable your gestures.
Does it work with a trackpad?
Yes. MidClick works with the built-in MacBook trackpad and Magic Trackpad. Choose a three-finger click, three-finger tap or four-finger tap for middle-click in Settings. You can enable each gesture separately, and macOS three-finger drag continues to work alongside them.
Why does it need Accessibility permission?
MidClick uses Accessibility permission to deliver the mouse and gesture actions you enable. Setup explains how to grant it, and you can revoke it in macOS System Settings.
Will every gesture work in every app?
The receiving app decides how to respond to middle clicks, drags and zoom gestures. You can exclude apps and enable keyboard zoom where native pinch is not supported.
Does MidClick collect what I type or copy?
No. Gesture recognition happens on your Mac. MidClick does not log typed keys, read the clipboard or record your screen. Update requests and support messages are described in the privacy policy.

More support details
MidClick is available as a direct macOS download. This guide covers installation, trial use and licensing.
Requirements and compatibility
MidClick requires macOS 13 Ventura or later on an Intel or Apple silicon Mac, with a Magic Mouse, built-in MacBook trackpad or Magic Trackpad, and Accessibility permission. On a trackpad, choose a three-finger click, three-finger tap or four-finger tap for middle-click. On a Magic Mouse, you can also enable pinch-to-zoom and rotation. Receiving apps decide how to handle middle clicks, drags, pinch and rotation.
Install the direct edition
- Download the installer from the official MidClick website.
- Open the DMG, drag MidClick to Applications, then eject the disk image.
- Open MidClick from Applications and follow the setup screen.
- In System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility, enable MidClick and return to the app.
- In Settings → Gestures, choose your triggers and try them in a compatible app.
Do not disable Gatekeeper or System Integrity Protection to install a rejected download. Stop and contact support if macOS rejects the installer.
Find Settings when the menu icon is hidden
Open MidClick again from Applications to reopen Settings. General settings control the menu icon and launch at login.
A gesture is not responding
- Check that MidClick and the trigger are enabled and the trial or license permits use.
- Check Accessibility permission. After a development build, signing or app-identity change, macOS may require permission for the current app again.
- If you use a Magic Mouse, connect it over Bluetooth and disconnect its charging cable.
- Check the ignored-app list. For an app that does not respond to native pinch, try keyboard zoom compatibility.
- After a device reconnects, allow it to settle, then reopen MidClick if needed.
Trial and activation
MidClick counts 14 days of actual gesture use locally. Idle days do not consume a trial day. The local trial counter is not uploaded. Purchase a license through the checkout linked on the home page.
Enter the key from your purchase receipt in Settings → License. Activation requires an internet connection and produces a signed receipt bound to this Mac. Copying a receipt to another Mac does not activate that Mac. The approved paid license covers three Macs and all 1.x updates, for a one-time US$3.99 before applicable checkout tax.
Renew a receipt
Each signed receipt lasts up to 30 days. MidClick schedules renewal after seven days, with a small delay to spread requests. A temporary network failure preserves an unexpired receipt. Reconnect if the app reports that the license needs refreshing. Gestures pause when neither a valid receipt nor the local trial permits use. An imported receipt can also expire; it does not remove the need to renew or obtain a replacement.
Deactivate or change Macs
Connect to the internet and choose Deactivate in Settings → License. The app requests remote release of that Mac's activation and waits for confirmation before clearing its active local license. If the request fails, recovery information is retained; reconnect and retry rather than deleting license files to force a transfer.
Wait for successful deactivation before expecting the seat to be available on another Mac. Removing the app or deleting a local receipt does not itself notify the licensing service or release a seat. If an old Mac is lost or unavailable, contact support for help with the activation. Do not send your full license key in a public post.
Updates and removing the app
Use Check for Updates in the menu or Settings. You can disable automatic checks. Before removing a paid installation, deactivate it online if you want to release its seat. Disable launch at login, quit MidClick, and move it from Applications to Trash. Preferences, trial records, receipts or Keychain data can remain afterward; contact support if you want help removing them.
Refunds
Request a voluntary refund within 30 days of purchase under the refund policy. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
