Features

Everything it does, in seven parts.

Rimline turns the edges and corners of the trackpad into controls. Pick a part to see it work, or search the whole list below.

Sliders and feel

Volume, brightness, microphone level and keyboard light on any edge you choose.

  • Right edge for volume and left for brightness out of the box, swap or retarget either one
  • Brightness changes the display under the pointer
  • A skip-tracks strip along the bottom edge

Taps, holds and more fingers

Four corners and the middle of every edge, each with a tap, a double tap and a hold, for one or two fingers.

  • Eight places: four corners and the middle of every edge
  • A tap, a double tap and a hold in each: 24 slots with one finger, 24 more with two fingers resting together
  • A tap waits a moment when a double tap sits in the same place

Window control

Snap to halves, quarters and thirds, or hold and aim with a preview before you commit.

  • Halves, quarters, thirds, two thirds, maximize, almost full, center and restore
  • Next and previous display
  • Repeat a snap to cycle a half, two thirds, one third

Scenes and presets

Hold a key, change app or plug in headphones, and the whole pad rearranges.

  • Start a scene by holding Fn, Option, Control or Command, or with a shortcut
  • Start one by itself for an app, headphones, an external display, a time of day or the power source
  • A scene stores only what it changes, so editing your layout updates every scene

Workflows and actions

Nine kinds of action, workflows that chain steps under one name, and rimline:// links.

  • Nine kinds of action, and one search that ranks by name, by kind and by what the action does
  • Open an app, a link or a file, press any keys, run a command or type text
  • Workflows chain steps and waits under one name, run top to bottom with a short gap

Looks and displays

Four finishes, three on-screen display styles, and a pad that lives in the menu bar.

  • Four finishes: Space Black, Silver, Starlight and Glass
  • On-screen display styles: Classic, Pill and Edge
  • Small, regular or large, and a place on the screen

Calm and private

It ignores the trackpad while you type, pauses in games, and keeps your touches on your Mac.

  • A typing guard: touches are ignored while you type, for a time you set
  • Palm care: a touch that starts while the guard is on stays ignored until every finger lifts
  • Auto-pause in games (on by default) and, if you want, in full-screen apps

One window, tab by tab.

This is the real app, every tab, top to bottom. Click a tab, then scroll the window.

The Rimline window on the Feel tab, the whole page: the pad and keyboard with live levels, and the settings for how a slide behaves

The pad and the keyboard drawn live, then the settings for how a slide behaves: sensitivity, response, fine control, the bottom zone, haptics and freeze pointer.

Everything, in one list.

106 things, from the nine kinds of action to the 19 places a window can go.
