Product Description:

SideTrack is a replacement driver for the trackpad (touchpad) found on Apple PowerBooks and iBooks. It brings many of the trackpad scrolling features found on Windows laptops to MacOS X. Most Windows laptops implement trackpad scrolling using drivers made by Synaptics. Although Apple PowerBooks also use Synaptics trackpads, the standard Apple driver uses none of the extended features.
SideTrack supports these features:

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.
Compatible with uControl, including uControl's scroll emulation.

What's new in this version:

Fix panic on wake from sleep.
Many "feel" improvements for tap and drag gestures.

This is a public beta release. This version will expire on December 30, 2003. Since this is a beta kernel extension please exercise appropriate caution.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

MacOS X 10.2 or higher

Awesome 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?

Thank you! - Version: 1.5, 8/29/2007 07:17AM PST

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.
