MacBook Multi-Touch Trackpad

jitouch is a software that expands the set of gestures for your MacBook Multi-Touch Trackpad and the new Apple Magic Mouse.

The additional gestures in jitouch are thoughtfully designed and tested to let you perform simple tasks even more easily and using only one hand such as changing tabs, closing windows, changing spaces, moving and resizing windows, and a lot more.

jitouch also fulfills many missing functions for your Mac, for example, the middle click for the Trackpad and Magic Mouse, the full-screen maximizing function, arranging windows side by side just like Windows 7 but way cooler and faster, moving and resizing windows by grabbing anywhere on the window, showing desktop and Exposé gestures for the Magic Mouse, and much more.

jitouch - very cool!
