Pawgic for Mac
  • English

    • Pawgic vs BetterTouchTool: a smaller input layer

    BetterTouchTool (folivora.ai) customizes a large part of the Mac, and unused pieces can be turned off. Pawgic is narrower: keyboard remaps, a discrete mouse wheel, and mouse or trackpad gestures. It is not a “better BTT”.

    A USB dial is Vibekey. Switching apps by initial is Tabbit.

    Short answer

    • Per-app shortcuts, or a mouse wheel that should reverse without touching the trackpad: Pawgic.
    • Window snapping, Stream Deck, clipboard history, scripts, or conditional automation: stay on BTT. Both can be installed. Test shortcut conflicts yourself.
    • This page does not cite download counts.

    What Pawgic does

    • Global or per-app keyboard shortcuts.
    • Smooth or reverse a normal mouse wheel without changing trackpad scrolling.
    • Mouse and trackpad gestures you define.
    • Built-in text edits such as line start, line end, and delete previous word.
    • Pause keyboard, mouse, and trackpad mappings separately.
    • Settings stay on the Mac, with optional sync through your own iCloud Drive.

    The FAQ limits wheel smoothing and reversal to discrete mouse-wheel events. Trackpads, Magic Mouse, and driver-generated continuous scrolling are outside that path.

    The homepage also lists app switching. That means a gesture or shortcut can send a switch action. It is not Tabbit’s Command-Tab plus a letter.

    How to choose

    Use Pawgic when the input layer is the whole job. Keep BTT when windows and devices already live there. Map a hardware dial with Vibekey.
