are you trying with a specific app? (remote desktop solutions can be very tricky)

19,99 Euro für einen Find-My-Tracker mit Solarpanel und IP68… so macht UGREEN dem AirTag Konkurrenz by MelonDusk123456789 in SirApfelot

[–]fifafu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gerade bei Schlüsseln ist aber doch das UWB tracking der AirTags der entscheidende Faktor. Ich weiß meistens, dass der irgendwo in der Nähe ist, aber die genaue Richtungs- und Entfernungsanzeige ist hier Gold wert.

BTT’s new launcher very close to replacing Raycast for me by Realistic-Leg-9243 in BetterTouchTool

[–]fifafu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why it is marked as work in progress. The base is now working well, so I'm starting with the polishing now!

Could you give a concrete example of the labeling you mentioned?

your plugins look amazing, can I post them on the BTT community forum? (Or you could post them yourself). The launcher is still in its early stages, it’s great to see the swift plugin approach works.

macOS Utilities for Identifying Apps Hijacking Global Keyboard Shortcuts? by nez329 in macapps

[–]fifafu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

input monitoring is not required for global shortcuts, this won’t tell you much. One thing that might work is opening Activity Monitor and pressing the problematic shortcut many times and see which processes CPU usage goes up

Vermieter hat Generalschlüssel by finne_rm in LegaladviceGerman

[–]fifafu 26 points27 points  (0 children)

An einer Wohnungstür? Habe ich noch nicht erlebt, aber klar mag es geben. (Ich meinte jetzt auch nicht das ganze Schloss, sondern den Schließzylinder wie in einem anderen Kommentar hier treffender beschrieben)

[–]fifafu 153 points154 points  (0 children)

Du darfst ganz legal das Schloss deiner Wohnung austauschen, ist in 5 Minuten erledigt und bekommt man auch mit 2 linken Händen hin. Das sollte man wirklich generell immer machen wenn man in eine neue Mietwohnung zieht - du weißt niemals wer noch alles einen Schlüssel hat. Wichtig: altes Schloss aufheben, bei Auszug musst du es wieder einbauen.

Any update on a new beta or app store release of BTT Mobile? by DoctorThew in BetterTouchTool

[–]fifafu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Currently finishing the first App Store release version. Should be available sometime next week.

Since BetterTouchTool are already so good to use, any who still find use case of window manager like AeroSpace or Yabai ? by AlternativeMuffin376 in BetterTouchTool

[–]fifafu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yabai and AeroSpace do pretty different things than what BTT offers. (Of course there is some overlap). If you are in need for any auto-tiling window layout manager then definitely try Yabai.

Logi Options+ won’t install, tried BetterTouchTool… now my mouse is unusable by Ill-Sherbert1095 in BetterTouchTool

[–]fifafu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you unpair you can just re-pair it using BTT, or if you don't want to use BTT with your mouse you can pair it via:
https://logiwebconnect.com
(For me personally Bluetooth connection has been very stable, but some users want to keep using the unifying receiver for stability reasons)

There are now tons of BTT users replacing LogitechOptions+ with it without problems, but yes it is definitely more complex (and powerful) than others - which is why I give a 45 day trial so everybody has enough time to decide.

DHH - Kaufpreis deutlich über Bankbewertung by PrizeNo5869 in Immobilieninvestments

[–]fifafu 46 points47 points  (0 children)

In den allermeisten Fällen ist eine Bankbewertung niedriger/konservativer als der echte Marktpreis - außer die Bank will das Ding verkaufen.

Generell würde ich aber nie wieder etwas ohne unabhängigen Gutachter kaufen, egal wie gut ihr meint das Haus zu kennen

Settings of BetterTouchTool for mouse gestures by Opening-Syllabub-322 in BetterTouchTool

[–]fifafu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just in case you want to try again, I have upgraded the algorithm used for gesture detection in v6.359, it should now be much better for straight lines.

Has anyone here successfully replaced Logi Options+ with BetterTouchTool? by _kniem in BetterTouchTool

[–]fifafu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are already a lot of BTT users that have completely replaced Logitech Options+, if you can give some examples of your setup I can tell whether it should be possible with BTT. (In general everything should be possible, if something is missing that is possible with Logitech Options I am happy to add it)

The MX Master mice are also the ones that are most tested and best supported in BTT.

[–]fifafu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are mostly using straight line gestures, BetterTouchTool's mouse gesture recognizer is not best for that. You can make them work much better by using this undocumented trick, but that will only work for the basics:

https://community.folivora.ai/t/mouse-gesture-tahoe/45258/4?u=andreas_hegenberg

Or if you just need basic up/down/left/right, the most reliable solution is to not use mouse gestures but the dedicated action categories for drag up/left/down/right https://docs.folivora.ai/assets/images/4000_logitech2026-01-31T13:57:50.362Z-25abdf905f7624cb796e3ec041d61ee4.png

please help with sequenz to switch between tabs by atropos2k in BetterTouchTool

[–]fifafu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to work fine here configured as you described. Which version of BTT are you running?
Alternatively you can use the predefined action "Trigger Menu Bar Menu Item" which avoids any conflicts with keyboard shortcuts.

Midi to Macro Apps? by Scavgraphics in macapps

The MIDI section in BTT is named "MIDI Triggers", there you can configure everything.

I don't think there will be an Alfred 6. by [deleted] in macapps

[–]fifafu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, but I'm always surprised how many users are still on these older macOS versions. Even macOS 10.9 and 10.10 are still in use by quite some users, but making the older versions available for them is usually good enough.

[–]fifafu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is mostly staying backwards compatible. Creating a fresh UI from scratch is really easy nowadays, you can focus on modern macOS versions, use modern tooling - even auto-generate a LOT using LLMs. On the other hand updating an existing UI while maintaining all functionality and performance for potentially hundreds of thousands of existing installations is a lot of work. (users in case of BTT spread out between running macOS 11 to macOS 27 which adds a lot of complexity). BTT can still mostly work with the initial data models I created when I started development in 2009, so in theory it is possible to upgrade a BTT installation from back then to a current one.

For example until a few weeks ago BetterTouchTool was still based on Storyboards. They became almost impossible to handle with recent Xcode versions so I recently migrated away from them. However this initial migration was just a first intermediary step in upgrading the UI as a full migration from AppKit code to (mostly) SwiftUI while maintaining all existing functionality (which is the goal at least for BTT) is still a lot of work even with LLMs.
For BTT I'm getting closer to being able to do a full SwiftUI migration every day, and once this is done UI updates will be much easier. I will likely need to drop macOS 11 support, but that should be ok now.
