> Trackpad volume, brightness and keyboard light

Padrail is a menu bar app that gives the edges and corners of your MacBook trackpad jobs of their own. Each step ticks under your finger, and the Mac's own level display shows the change. The middle of the trackpad stays a normal trackpad.

- Slide the right edge for volume, the left edge for brightness and the top edge for keyboard light.
- Swipe along the bottom edge for the previous or next track.
- Double tap the top right corner to mute, or a bottom corner to play or pause.
- Give an app edges of its own: switch tabs in Safari or Google Chrome, scrub in a video player, zoom in Preview.
- Hold Option while you slide for smaller steps.

One time purchase for up to 3 Macs, every update included, full refund within 14 days.

## Questions, answered by the maker

**Which Macs does it run on?**
MacBooks with a built in trackpad, running macOS 13 Ventura or later. It runs on Apple silicon and Intel.

**Is there a free trial?**
No. You can get a full refund within 14 days of buying, no questions asked.

**Is my data private?**
Yes. Padrail has no analytics, no crash reports and no ads. The only things that leave your Mac are a licence check and an update check.

**Will it get in the way when I use the trackpad normally?**
No. A slide only starts when your finger moves along an edge, not across it, so pointing and clicking near the edges work as before. The middle of the trackpad stays a normal trackpad.
