Description
Magic Mouse owners know the sound: click, click, click at 11 pm, through the whole flat. The trackpad got tap-to-click years ago. The Magic Mouse, same glass surface, never did. Tap2Click fixes that. A light touch is a click, two fingers is a right-click. Nobody wakes up, your finger stops hammering, and everything else on your Mac works exactly as before. For night owls, people working from a shared home, and anyone whose partner, kids or cat sleep next to the desk. Free, tiny, open source.

Could you build this?
No Intercepting Magic Mouse multitouch capacitive sensor events on macOS and translating capacitive contact touch points into system click events requires low-level macOS MultitouchSupport private framework reverse engineering and kernel/IOKit-level event manipulation.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift or Objective-C targeting macOS, utilizing undocumented private frameworks such as `MultitouchSupport.framework` to tap directly into raw capacitive touch sensor streams from Apple devices. The engineer must intercept raw finger coordinate data, implement touch debouncing and pressure heuristics to disambiguate resting fingers from deliberate taps, and inject synthesized mouse click events via `CGEventPost` without introducing latency or cursor jitter.
