Hot corners with privacy in mind! Quickly launch your favourite apps or shortcuts, no Accessibility permissions required.
CCCCorners stands for Confidential, Confidential, Confidential!
Stop ignoring those 4 pieces of real estate on your screen. CCCCorners turns your Mac's hot corners into the ultimate productivity hack, letting you launch apps and run shortcuts in an instant. It’s the powerful, lightweight, and privacy-focused menu bar utility you've been missing.
Unlike other similar utilities, CCCCorners does NOT require Accessibility permissions for its main functionality to work!
***
Features:
• Launch apps, trigger keyboard combinations, and run shortcuts from the Shortcuts app (requires macOS 12 or newer)
• Smart toggle action: activate a hot corner once to launch. Activate it a second time to hide the app's window, minimize it, or quit that app entirely
• Multiple-display support: different hot corners for each monitor
• Assign actions to zones, subzones, and Magic Pointer
• Use optional modifier keys (⌘, ⌥, ⌃, ⇧, fn) for a specific hot corner, zone, or Magic Pointer to activate it. There is also an option to duplicate every hot corner for use with modifier keys – you can have one app assigned to a hot corner and another one that opens only when one of the modifier keys is pressed
• Corners and zones activation delay: you can customize a delay to prevent accidental triggers if you often do something near the edges of the screen
• NEW: Treadmill mode. A great alternative to activation delay for hot corners: instead of waiting until delay time is over, you can "push" the corner harder with a mouse. A visual cue indicates that the function is active – after that, you can either keep pushing the mouse or just left-click to activate the corner
• Choose from 8 menu bar icons or hide the menu bar icon completely! CCCCorners will keep working silently in the background (double-click the CCCCorners icon in Finder → Applications to access the settings window)
Get CCCCorners and start making every corner count, confidentially!

This is exactly the app I was looking for! The developer is hard at work adding new options and updates, and it’s great to see it keep improving:)

Thanks a lot for the review! 😊
Simple App. Works Well. Weird Settings.

I like this app. I will talk about the good below but first, my big problem with the app. When selecting to have this app launch at start up. Instead of adding to Login Items, it adds itself to App Background Activity. I have over 13 menu bar apps and none of them added themselves to App Background Activity and all of them launch at start up. It’s simply not needed for a simple menu bar app like this. Now the good is that this is a simple app and does what it says, but, it’s a convince app. There is nothing this app does that you cannot already do natively in Mac for free. This just makes it a little bit easier. However until the dev fixes the app to add to Login Items and not App Background Activity, I will not be using and cannot recommend this app, even at it’s low price point.

Hello,1. "App Background Activity" section in settings was added in macOS 13. Before that, helper tools and launch agents were already there technically, but they were not shown separately to users.App Background Activity is frequently used by developers to achieve the same goal as login items – a background helper is registered there and used to start components of the app automatically after login. It's just more modern and flexible API than classic login items. There's no difference to you – you can disable any "App Background Activity" item the same way you can disable any login item.2. "There is nothing this app does that you cannot already do natively in Mac for free." – this is completely not true. macOS doesn't allow to assign user apps to hot corners, neither does it allow to assign "Shortcuts" app shortcuts or keyboard shortcuts. There are plenty other options (such as customization of hot corners for multiple displays) that you cannot do natively. Please note, I am not developing software that duplicates existing OS functionality.
Good idea and well optimized!

This app really requires no accessibility rights, and it is well optimized, using low CPU while moving the mouse. Thank you!

Thank you for review! I'm glad the keyboard shortcut worked for you. I'll look into what I can do in that case with Alfred
