Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about mac-apps.
Buying & Licensing
Within a few minutes of completing checkout, you'll receive an email from Creem (our payment processor) with your license key. If you don't see it, check your spam folder or contact baishuang81@gmail.com.
Open the Creem customer portal link from your purchase confirmation email to retrieve your key. You can also email baishuang81@gmail.com with the email address you used at checkout.
Yes. If your Apple ID matches the original purchase, MidClick will activate automatically on a new Mac — no need to re-enter your license key. For users without an Apple ID, you can manually deactivate the old device from the Settings panel.
Not yet. Send details of your team to baishuang81@gmail.com and we'll see if we can put something together.
Installation & Use
Download the .zip file, double-click to unzip, drag MidClick.app to your Applications folder, and open it. The first launch will walk you through granting Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions.
MidClick supports macOS 11 Big Sur or later on both Intel and Apple Silicon. We've specifically tested on Intel iMacs from 2015 onward.
macOS requires explicit user permission for any app that sends synthetic events or listens to global input. Accessibility allows us to send the middle-click; Input Monitoring allows us to detect your three-finger taps. Both are standard system permissions.
MidClick is designed for trackpads only. If you're using a mouse with a middle button, you already have a middle click and don't need us.
Yes. Use the Blacklist mode in Settings to add apps where MidClick should be inactive. Conversely, Whitelist mode disables MidClick everywhere except your specified apps.
Privacy & Security
No. We don't collect analytics, telemetry, or any data about your behavior. The only data we receive is an anonymous hash of your Apple ID (or device) when you activate a license. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Yes. All core features work without internet. License verification happens once every 30 days in the background and falls back gracefully when offline.
Uninstalling MidClick removes all local data, including the daily counter and your license info. There's no data left on your Mac after uninstallation.
Technical
MidClick only triggers on the specific three-finger tap pattern, leaving all other gestures (two-finger scroll, four-finger Mission Control, etc.) untouched. In rare cases you may need to disable MidClick in specific apps where conflicts occur — use the blacklist for this.
First, make sure both Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions are granted in System Settings > Privacy & Security. Then verify MidClick is enabled in the menu bar (icon should be colored, not greyed out). If issues persist, restart MidClick from the menu bar.
Yes. Open Settings from the menu bar and adjust the Sensitivity slider. Lower values mean a lighter touch is required; higher values are more forgiving.
Open an issue at https://github.com/oldbig/mac-apps/issues with your macOS version, Mac model, and steps to reproduce. We respond within a few days.
Open MidClick Settings → Feedback tab. Click 'Detect' to auto-fill the current app, add a note, and submit. These reports help us improve compatibility. You can also open a GitHub issue directly from the app.
Palm rejection controls how strictly MidClick rejects contact from large surface areas (palms). Standard mode works for most users. Relaxed mode allows slightly larger contacts if your fingertips or tap style are being falsely rejected. Strict mode rejects more aggressively for users who palm the trackpad while typing.
Only if you explicitly opt in. An opt-in toggle in Settings → General → Performance diagnostics writes anonymous local log files (memory, callback counts). Data never leaves your Mac — you can attach the log when reporting bugs.
