Mac Mouse Fix 3.0.3 is ready for macOS 15 Sequoia. It also fixes some stability issues and provides several small improvements.

Mac Mouse Fix 2.2.5 features improvements to the update-mechanism, and it's ready for macOS 15 Sequoia!

New Sparkle update framework

Mac Mouse Fix uses the Sparkle update framework to help provide a great updating experience.

With 2.2.5, Mac Mouse Fix switches from using Sparkle 1.26.0 to the latest Sparkle 1.27.3, containing security fixes, localization improvements and more.

Smarter update mechanism

There's a new mechanism that decides which update to show the user. The behavior changed in these ways:

1. After you skip a major update (such as 2.2.5 -> 3.0.0), you'll still be notified of new minor updates (such as 2.2.5 -> 2.2.6).
   • This allows you to easily stay on Mac Mouse Fix 2 while still receivi

Mac Mouse Fix 2.2.4 is now notarized! It also includes some small bug fixes and other improvements.

Notarization

Mac Mouse Fix 2.2.4 is now 'notarized' by Apple. That means no more messages about Mac Mouse Fix being potentially 'Malicious Software' when opening the app for the first time.

Background

Notarizing your app costs $100 per year. I was always against this, since it felt hostile towards free and open source software like Mac Mouse Fix, and it also felt like a dangerous step towards Apple controlling and locking down the Mac like they do iPhones or iPads. But lack of notarization led to different problems, including many confused users and several situations where nobody could use the app anymore until I released a new version.

For Mac Mouse Fix 3, I

Mac Mouse Fix 3.0.2 brings several improvements, including smoother scrolling, improved translations, and more!

Scrolling

• You can now stop scroll animations by scrolling one step in the opposite direction. This allows you to 'throw' and 'catch' the page when using 'Smoothness: High', similar to a Trackpad.
• Mac Mouse Fix now sends scroll events earlier in the display refresh cycle, giving apps more time to process the scroll events and display scrolling smoothly. This improves framerates, especially on complex websites like YouTube.com.
• Improved the responsiveness of the 'Smoothness: High' setting, makin

Bug fixes

• Mac Mouse Fix now works properly with Fast User Switching!
  • Fast User Switching is when you log into a second macOS account without logging out of the first account.
  • Before this update, scrolling stopped working after a fast user switch. Now everything should work correctly.
• Fixed a small bug where the layout of the Buttons tab was too wide after starting Mac M

Monetization

Before you upgrade to Mac Mouse Fix 3 from Mac Mouse Fix 2, there's one thing you might want to know:

Mac Mouse Fix 3 will be free for 30 days and cost $1.99 to own.
(It will launch at this price. I might adjust the pricing down the line.)

I know that monetization might not seem good for users at first glance, but

3.0.0 Beta 7 brings several small improvements and bug fixes.

Here's everything new:

Improvements

• Added Korean translations. Big thanks to @jeongtae (on GitHub)!
• Made scrolling with the 'Smoothness: High' option even smoother, by only changing the speed gradually, instead of having sudden jumps in the scrolling speed as you move the scroll wheel. This should make scrolling feel a little smoother and easier to follow with your eyes without making things less responsive. Scrolling with 'Smoothness: High' uses around 30% more CPU now,

3.0.0 Beta 6 brings deep optimizations and polish, a rework of the scroll settings, Chinese translations, and more!

Here's everything new:

1. Deep Optimizations

For this Beta, I put a lot of work into getting the last bit of performance out of Mac Mouse Fix. And now I'm happy to announce that, when you click a mouse button in Beta 6, that's 2x faster compared to the previous beta! And scrolling is even 4x faster!

With Beta 6, MMF will also smartly turn parts of itself off to save your CPU and battery as much as possible.

For example, when you're currently using a mouse with 3 but

• Fixed scrolling in Terminal and other apps! See GitHub Issue #413.

Mac Mouse Fix 2.2.3 fixes several issues and adds polish under macOS 10.13 High Sierra, 10.14 Mojave, and 10.15 Catalina.

It took a lot of time to test and debug the app on older macOS versions, but I'm really glad I did since I wanted to make sure that Mac Mouse Fix 2.2 - the last free version of Mac Mouse Fix - feels really nice and polished for everyone!

What's changed

• Fixed a bug where the 'Keyboard Shortcut...' option wouldn't do anything under macOS 10.13 High Sierra
• Fixed a crash when using the 'Keyboard Shortcut...' option more than once under macOS 10.13 High Sierra and 10.14 Mojave
• Enabled Apple icon rendering on macOS versions before macOS 11 Big

The previous release 2.2.1 added support for macOS 13 Ventura and more!

Accessibility problems

2.2.2 solves a problem where "Mac Mouse Fix Helper" couldn't be granted Accessibility Access in System Settings after updating from Mac Mouse Fix 2.2.0 or earlier. See GitHub Issue #412.

Bug fixes

• Fixed issue where notifications would disappear abruptly instead of fading out with an animation under macOS Ventura
• Fixed bug where links on the "More..." screen and the "Grant Accessibiliy Access" screen would sometimes open over and over again when clicking anywhere in
