# Haptiker

> Haptiker is a macOS menu bar app (Haptiker for Mac) that turns the edges of a Mac trackpad into sliders: slide along the right edge to change volume, the left edge for display brightness, and across the top edge for keyboard backlight. Double-tap the right edge to mute.

- Current version: 1.0
- Works with built-in Force Touch trackpads and the Magic Trackpad
- Requires macOS 12 or later; Apple Silicon and Intel
- Edge gestures only fire for a single finger that starts on the edge and slides along it; two-finger scrolls and mid-pad swipes are ignored
- Brightness follows the display under the cursor, including external monitors (over DDC/CI) on Apple Silicon Macs
- Price: £4.99, one-time purchase (launch price until October 31, 2026; regular price £7.99). No subscription, no account.
- 7-day free trial with every feature. One license key activates up to 3 Macs.
- Needs macOS Accessibility permission to read trackpad touches; touches are processed on the Mac and never sent. The app has no analytics and only goes online for license checks and update checks.
