TrackStudio recipe · Edges only

The Minimal Mac Trackpad Layout

Minimal is for people who want the trackpad to stay a trackpad. Brightness on the left edge, volume on the right, media scrub on the bottom. No corner actions, no multi-finger triggers, no surprises.

Only the edges. Nothing else.Built inEditable
What it does

The layout, exactly.

These are the regions and gestures the recipe sets. Apply it to a scene, then change anything in Canvas.

How to apply

Three steps.

01

Open TrackStudio

Launch the app and open the scene you want to change.

02

Open Recipes

Choose the book icon in the sidebar, then select Minimal.

03

Apply and edit

Apply it to the scene. Change any trigger in Canvas; the recipe is a starting point.

Who it is for

Is this your layout?

Use Minimal if you want the edge controls without a new gesture language, or if you share the Mac with someone who does not want the full surface.

What to change

Make it yours.

Add one corner later if you miss Mission Control. The point of Minimal is to start with the least surface and add only what you actually reach for.

Questions

Before you apply it.

Are all gestures off?

Yes. The recipe turns off the corner and multi-finger actions. The three edge rails remain.

Can I add a corner later?

Yes. Apply Minimal, then add one action in Canvas. You do not need a different recipe.

Is it good for a shared Mac?

It is the least surprising layout. It keeps the trackpad close to its default behavior.
