Best Multitouch Alternatives in 2026

Multitouch, from Ryan Hanson, is one of the deepest gesture engines on the Mac. It maps trackpad and Magic Mouse gestures, remaps keys and mouse buttons, runs scripts, and includes Rectangle Pro in full. It costs $15.99 one-time with a 30-day trial and a license for three devices.

We make TrackStudio, so read this with that bias in mind. The list below names where each alternative is the better buy, including the cases where you should stay with Multitouch.

What Multitouch does well

Multitouch supports trackpad and Magic Mouse gestures by finger count. It has a large action catalogue for browsers, keystrokes, clicks, scripts, and window management. It also remaps keys and mouse buttons, supports a Hyper Key, and includes Rectangle Pro in full. The vendor lists macOS 14 or later and a three-device license.

That is a lot of capability for $15.99. The trade-off is configuration: Multitouch is a rules-and-actions app, not a visual surface. If you want Rectangle Pro and Magic Mouse gestures, it is still the best bundle in the category.

The short list

Prices, trials, and macOS requirements checked on vendor pages on November 2, 2026. Regional pricing and taxes vary.

1. BetterTouchTool — the widest alternative

BetterTouchTool is the platform answer. It covers one- to five-finger gestures, tip-taps, force clicks, edge swipes, continuous gestures, per-app conditional groups, 600+ actions, scripts, keyboard and mouse remapping, window snapping, Stream Deck, and a clipboard manager. It costs $15 for two years of updates or $25 lifetime, with a 45-day trial and macOS 12 or later.

Choose it if: you want one app to automate every input device and you are willing to learn it. Stay with Multitouch if: you mainly want gestures, Magic Mouse support, and Rectangle Pro without the wider platform.

2. TrackStudio — the visual surface alternative

TrackStudio is the app we make. It maps the whole trackpad as a visual surface: left, right, and bottom edges, four corners, custom areas, center gestures, per-app scenes, media scrub, and haptics. It costs ₹499 one-time and runs on macOS 13 or later. There is no trial listed.

Choose it if: you want to see and arrange the surface, and you care about per-app scenes and haptics. Stay with Multitouch if: you need Magic Mouse gestures, key/mouse remapping, scripts, or Rectangle Pro. TrackStudio does not do those.

3. GestureCraft — the cheap, simple alternative

GestureCraft maps trackpad taps, holds, swipes, keyboard shortcuts, and mouse buttons to Shortcuts, apps, window snaps, keystrokes, or scripts. It costs $7.99 one-time for up to three Macs, with a 14-day money-back guarantee and macOS 14 or later. It is native, notarized, and event-driven.

Choose it if: you want a few rules without a large action catalogue. Stay with Multitouch if: you need Magic Mouse pinch/rotate, deep gesture range, or Rectangle Pro.

4. Curflow — the drawn-gesture alternative

Curflow maps drawn paths on a trackpad or any mouse to navigation, tabs, clipboard actions, app switching, keyboard shortcuts, and AppleScript actions. It costs $15.99 Standard or $29.99 Pro, with a 14-day trial and macOS 14 or later. It is gesture-triggered only; it does not have separate keyboard or mouse-button rules.

Choose it if: you think in strokes and want any mouse to work. Stay with Multitouch if: you want discrete multi-finger gestures and a large action set.

5. Trill — the guided alternative

Trill starts with ready-made sets for Everyday, Browser, Windows, Media, Writing, and Developer. You can record a gesture by doing it. It adds haptics, a Caps Lock Hyper Key, and drag-to-snap window management. It costs $29 one-time for three Macs, with a 24-hour trial and macOS 14 or later.

Choose it if: you want a guided start and a polished all-in-one. Stay with Multitouch if: you want Magic Mouse gestures, key/mouse remapping, or Rectangle Pro.

6. Mactomator — the mixed-desk alternative

Mactomator covers trackpad and Magic Mouse gestures, any mouse, keyboard sequences, scripts, menu commands, per-device and per-app scoping, a window grid, mouse polling control, display gaps, and per-keyboard layouts. It costs €4.99 for a year of updates or €39.99 lifetime, with a 30-day trial and three machines.

Choose it if: your desk has a trackpad, a mouse, multiple keyboards, and multiple displays. Stay with Multitouch if: you want a simpler deep-gesture app with Rectangle Pro included.

7. Jitouch — the free alternative

Jitouch is free and open source, with character gestures and Magic Mouse support. The official build is Intel-only and the code has been frozen since January 2023. It is not notarized, and there is no confirmed macOS 26/27 support.

Choose it if: free and character gestures matter most. Stay with Multitouch if: you want a maintained app with support and a current macOS build.

Who should stay with Multitouch

Stay if you want the combination of deep gestures, Magic Mouse support, key and mouse-button remapping, scripts, and Rectangle Pro. That bundle is still the best value in the category. The alternatives above are better when you want a visual surface, a simpler rule model, a lower price, or a different desk-wide scope.

The bottom line

Multitouch is still the best deep-gesture toolbox with Rectangle Pro. BetterTouchTool is the wider platform; TrackStudio is the visual surface; GestureCraft is the cheap simple option; Curflow is for drawn gestures; Trill is guided; Mactomator is the mixed-desk tool. Pick the model that matches the job.
