Alpha version ยท 0.0.64

Turn trackpad paths into real actions.

Bello Gesture maps two-finger secondary-click drags to shortcuts, app launches, URLs, and preset actions in the frontmost macOS app. Version 0.0.64 hardens the global app block list so games and other excluded apps receive native right-click input unchanged.

What ships today

Refresh

The refresh preset ships as a seeded freeform stroke.

Command + R
Previous Tab

Use the preset to jump back to the previous tab in apps that honor the standard tab shortcut.

Control + Shift + Tab
Next Tab

Use the preset to move forward to the next tab without reaching for the keyboard.

Control + Tab

Built for customization from the start

Onboarding that gets you to first gesture fast

The first run walks through permissions, the trackpad setup requirement, and the default gesture surface before handing off to the dashboard.

Add your own rule

Capture a gesture once, choose a shortcut, preset action, app, or URL, then save it as a named rule. Capture more samples when you want the rule to accept more variation.

Freeform gesture matching

Draw a symbol once to start, or record more examples, and Bello Gesture will match future strokes against the learned shape.

Global app block list

Exclude games or other apps where Bello Gesture should pass right-click and two-finger secondary-click input through unchanged.

Requirements and current limitations

Before you start

Enable two-finger secondary click in macOS Trackpad settings, then grant Accessibility when Bello Gesture asks for it. The app is designed for macOS 13.2 and later.

What alpha means here

The current build is focused on core mapping and dispatch, not exhaustive gesture recognition. It works well for short deliberate gesture paths, but some trackpad edge cases still need tuning.
