About iGestures

iGestures turns a mouse button or keyboard key plus a stroke you train yourself into an action. Mappings can be global, per application group or per app, and a searchable library covers window, browser, Finder, editing, media and automation actions. It also supports trackpad modifier gestures, double-click and long-press triggers, and sharing selected mappings as .igesturespack files. It suits people who want quick, per-app shortcuts without memorising keyboard combinations.

iGestures requires macOS 14.0 or later on Apple silicon: the app's Info.plist in the 0.20.4 release sets LSMinimumSystemVersion to 14.0, matching the README. The README says physical-device testing has only been done on macOS 26 or later. The README does not state whether the build is notarized; if macOS blocks the first launch, use Open Anyway. It asks for Input Monitoring, Accessibility and Automation only when a feature needs them. Script actions can run shell commands, so review a script before enabling it. Because builds are ad-hoc signed, macOS may ask for permissions again after an upgrade.
