SideTrack is a replacement driver for the Apple MacBook, PowerBook, and iBook trackpads. With SideTrack installed your standard trackpad becomes a powerful multi-button scrolling mouse.

  • Vertical scrolling at left or right edge of pad.
  • Horizontal scrolling at top or bottom edge of pad.
  • Map hardware button to left or right click.
  • Map trackpad taps to no action, left click, left click drag (with or without drag lock), or right click.

SideTrack CommentaryAwesome but... - Version: 1.6, 2/16/2008 12:00AM PST

I love the corner clicking. I played with for a little while, and it is a perfect complement to QuickSilver and Spaces. And the price is well worth it.

However, I am way too accustomed to two fingered scrolling and two fingered right click. I see on your dev page that support is planned for this.

I have set VT to notify me of updates on SideTrack. I will happily purchase it the instant you add that support. I look forward to using ST regularly.

Great work.

hello - i switched from win/dell to mac 11 month ago and i really missed the ongoing move of the cursor reaching the end of the pad - so i'm verry interested in your software.
but now after installing i miss the two finger actions (scrolling with two fingers. two finger tapping for right-click) of the original driver. is it possible to activate theese two finger actions in your driver too?

I was really missing sidetrack on my macbookpro - i had to uninstall it dew to sleeping problem it caused. But with this version(1.5) problem seems to be resolved finally.
I'm really happy to have back sidetrack on my laptop.
Thank you so much - nice job indeed.
