Installation help
Which Mac do I have?+

Open the Apple menu → About This Mac. If you see “Chip” with an Apple M-series name, choose Apple Silicon. If you see “Processor” with Intel, choose Intel.

What if macOS blocks the app?+

After attempting to open it, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, find the EdgeVolume notice, and choose Open Anyway. Only do this for a download you trust. The early-access app is not notarized.

Does it work on Windows?+

Anything I should know before trying it?+

This is an experimental utility using a private macOS touch API. It observes touch input without suppressing cursor movement or macOS gestures. Compatibility and gesture reliability still need testing across more trackpads. Gestures start paused on each launch.

Small app. Open possibilities.
