Padlet
Side project
macOS
Trackpad edge controls and extra gestures from the macOS menu bar
Padlet turns the edges of your trackpad into controls: slide along a side for volume or brightness, double-tap a corner to mute, swipe the bottom edge to skip songs. It also adds gestures macOS doesn't have, like three-finger middle click, corner force clicks, an app switcher on the top edge and edge swipes, each mapped to one of dozens of actions, with per-app overrides.
