Six questions.
Short answers. The longer ones are in the docs.
Is it safe, and why is it not notarized?
Rimline is signed with a stable certificate, and each update is signed with its own key and checked before it installs. Notarization needs an Apple Developer ID, so for now macOS asks you to confirm once.
See the first launchWhich Macs does it run on?
Apple silicon and Intel, on macOS 13 Ventura or later, with the built-in trackpad of a MacBook. Rimline was developed and tested on Apple silicon.
Does it clash with the macOS gestures?
The Multi-finger page marks gestures that macOS also uses, and the editor shows a Heads up when two gestures collide. A hold is the clean choice, or turn the system gesture off in System Settings, Trackpad.
Read the troubleshootingIs it private?
There is no account and no analytics in the app, and your touches never leave your Mac. It contacts Polar to activate and check a license, and the update check, which is off until you turn it on in General, asks GitHub once a day.
Read the privacy pageWhat does it need me to allow?
Accessibility, so it can read touches on the trackpad and move windows. Dark mode asks once to control System Events. It does not read your screen contents or what you type.
Does it work with an external trackpad?
Not yet. Rimline works with the built-in trackpad of a MacBook. A separate Magic Trackpad with its own layout is planned, not supported today.
Every edge, in one small icon.
Rimline waits in your menu bar until you reach for the edge of your trackpad.
