Scenes and presets

Your trackpad changes with what you are doing.

A scene is a layout that turns on by a held key, a shortcut, or by itself for an app, headphones, an external display, a time of day or the power source.

Hold to change.

Hold a key and the pad lays out again: the edges become window buttons. Let go and your layout comes back.

  • Fn, Option, Control or Command, or a shortcut you record
  • The middle of the pad is free inside a scene, and holds only
  • A name pill appears after the key has been held a moment

A scene is a whole new pad.

Hold Control and the edges become window buttons. Or let the app, headphones, display, time or power pick one.

Automatic.

A scene can turn on by itself and give your layout back the moment the rule stops. Nothing to remember, nothing to press.

  • An app in front, headphones, an external display, a time of day or the power source
  • Every condition you set must hold
  • A held key or a gesture beats it, and the first scene in the list wins

Let the Mac pick the scene.

An app, headphones, an external display, a time or the battery turns a scene on, and your layout comes back when the rule stops.

Per app.

Give an app its own layout. It stores only the zones it changes, so the rest still follows your default.

  • Zones that follow the default are dimmed, changed zones carry a cobalt dot
  • Add an app from the running ones, or search the installed ones
  • Order of priority: the scene, then the app, then your default

Ten ready layouts, each drawn on its own pad. Pick one, keep your own, or let one turn on by itself as a scene.

  • Save the current layout under a name, and switch from the menu bar
  • Apply has an Undo that puts back what you had
  • Use as a scene keeps only what differs from your layout

Night mode

Dark mode, Night Shift, and on a hold the sleeping display and the screen saver.A scene that keeps only what differs from your layout. You choose when it turns on.

Ten presets, drawn.

Each preset is a whole pad. Apply one, keep your own, or make one a scene that turns on by itself.

Set it up in the app.

Rimline opens on the page where scenes and presets lives. Nothing to hunt for.

These buttons talk to the app, so they work once Rimline is installed. Join the waitlist to hear when it opens.
