TocaPad turns your trackpad's edges and corners into controls: slide one finger up the right edge for volume or the left edge for brightness, and double-tap a corner to open Mission Control, show the desktop, lock your Mac, take a screenshot, play or pause, skip a track, open an app or press any shortcut you record. Open source (MIT), with no account and no analytics.
