Other operating systems have a Drag Lock (Click lock) feature that keeps the drag state active even after you release the mouse button. However, have you ever felt it inconvenient that macOS doesn't have this feature except for the trackpad?
Use DragLocker to enable drag lock with any mouse connected to your Mac. It supports all pointing devices, from the built-in trackpad on the MacBook to the Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and standard PC mice.
DragLocker is perfect for those who suffer from arm or finger strain due to heavy daily mouse usage, as well as for individuals with physical disabilities who find it difficult to hold down the mouse button.
Here are some of the key features of DragLocker:
・Customize Buttons and Methods
You can customize it to drag lock only with specific mouse buttons or choose the method to trigger the drag lock.
・Show Icon While Locked
By setting it to show the icon in the app settings, a lock icon will be shown near the pointer while drag lock is active, letting you know the current state at a glance.
・Play Sound When Locked and Unlocked
By enabling the sound feature in the app settings, a sound will be played when any button is locked or unlocked, allowing you to instantly notice changes in the drag state.
・Customize Behavior per App
You can customize drag lock settings for each application, allowing it to work only in specific apps or to exclude specific apps.
DragLocker's high level of customization allows you to tailor the behavior to fit your preferences perfectly. A setup screen will guide you through the basic customization when you launch the app for the first time, making it easy to start using it exactly the way you want.
DragLocker requires accessibility permissions to enable the drag lock functionality. These permissions can be granted from the initial setup screen shown on first launch, or managed later via the app settings.
DragLocker is developed with the utmost respect for your privacy; it does not collect or transmit any click data or personal information, allowing you to use it with peace of mind.
