Trackpad Drag is an ergonomic accessibility utility for macOS. It helps reduce discomfort and fatigue caused by long trackpad presses, dragging, and repeated scrolling, while offering a steadier alternative for users who find fine hand movements difficult.
Main Features
Enter a held-drag state with one shortcut, reducing the effort of continuously pressing the trackpad.
Support hold and locked click modes for left, middle, and right mouse buttons.
Use middle locked scroll to enter a scrolling mode with a shortcut, then move the mouse to keep scrolling up, down, left, or right.
Customize shortcuts to turn high-effort pressing, dragging, and scrolling actions into lighter keyboard-assisted input.
Use app allowlists or blocklists, and configure shortcuts and scrolling behavior separately for different apps.
Localized interface with full Light Mode and Dark Mode support.
Optional iCloud sync keeps settings consistent across devices.
Use Cases
Reduce finger and wrist strain during long drags, file moves, canvas wiring, and timeline adjustments.
Reduce repeated trackpad gestures while scrolling long pages, documents, websites, and design canvases.
Provide a steadier alternative for dragging, clicking, and scrolling if precise hand movement is difficult.
Offer a practical input aid for users who do not prefer macOS three-finger drag or tap to click.
Lower accumulated fatigue from frequent trackpad work.
Privacy
Keyboard input is used locally only for shortcut matching.
The app does not record typed text or upload keyboard content.
Network transfer occurs only if you enable iCloud or WebDAV sync.
Pro Version
Includes a 7-day full-feature trial.
Unlock all Pro features permanently with a one-time in-app purchase.
Restore purchases on another device without paying again.
Ratings & Reviews
This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Fixed an issue where animations in some hidden windows could keep running while the app was idle, causing unusually high CPU usage. This reduces background resource consumption.
• Improved dragging across Spaces: when moving a window with simulated left-button drag and switching to another Space, the held-button state is no longer interrupted unexpectedly.
• Strengthened input-state protection during Space transitions to prevent accidental shortcut triggers or missed key-up events from leaving the left button stuck.
• Fixed known issues.
