Your trackpad
has another layer.

Rest one finger. Place another to the left or right. Physically click. GestureEngine turns that deliberate motion into the shortcut that cycles your tabs.

Live gesture Listening

01 Real trackpad input, drawn live.

One motion, three beats

Rest. Aim. Click.

The app shows what it understands before it sends anything.

1

Rest

The first finger becomes a locked anchor immediately.

2

Aim

Left means previous. Right means next. The intent stays visible.

3

Click

A real press fires the shortcut. Touch-only taps do nothing.

Two directions

Stay in motion.

Click leftPrevious tab

Click rightNext tab

Quiet by design

Present when you need it.
Invisible when you don’t.

Lives in the menu bar

No Dock clutter. Pause recognition or open settings from one small status item.

Shows its work

The live surface locks the anchor, previews direction, and confirms every fired gesture.

Tuned to your hand

Adjust wobble tolerance, dead-band width, click timing, and repeat pace.

Works with shortcuts

It sends standard Control-Tab combinations to the app already in front.
