The longer answers: how middle click works on a Mac, what macOS does and doesn’t provide, and the measurements behind this app’s claims.

• How to middle-click on a Mac

  Three-finger click, fn+click or a wheel mouse: every way to middle-click on a Mac trackpad or Magic Mouse, side by side, the free ones first.

• Why doesn’t middle-click scrolling work on your Mac?

  On Windows you click the wheel and glide through a page. WheelClick brings that click-and-glide autoscroll to the Mac.

• Magic Mouse middle click, and why it ships outside the App Store

  Rest three fingers on the mouse and click. What the sandbox takes away, exactly why, and what listening to a mouse costs in battery.

• A letter scale for software energy efficiency

  What it would mean to rate apps the way appliances are rated — with WheelClick’s own measured numbers as the first data point.

Comparing apps instead? Every macOS middle-click app is side by side on one page.
