Use your trackpad's edges as sliders

Aden Edge turns the edges of your Mac's trackpad into sliders. Slide one finger along an edge and feel a tick as the level moves. Two fingers, and swipes in from the edge, work as always.

Turn it on

1. Open Settings and choose Aden Edge. Or search "Aden Edge" in ⌘K.
2. Switch on Trackpad edges.
3. If Aden asks for Accessibility, add Aden in System Settings. Skipping tracks, shortcuts and zoom need it.

Out of the box:

• Left edge: screen brightness.
• Right edge: volume.
• Bottom edge: slide right for the next track, left for the previous one.

Change what an edge does

Each thing an edge can do is a row with a little trackpad that shows its edge.

• Use the switch to turn a row on or off. Only one row per edge is on at a time.
• Choose … to rename it, move it to another edge, or change what it sends. Remove is there too.
• Choose Add for a new one: MIDI knob, Zoom with keys held, Shortcut per step, Volume, Brightness or Next and previous track.

Control your DAW

1. Under In a DAW, pick your DAW, like FL Studio or Ableton Live.
2. Turn on Note height or Timeline zoom to zoom where the pointer is. If your DAW zooms with other keys, choose … and change Keys held.
3. For a knob, turn on MIDI knob, then turn on the input called Aden Edge in your DAW's MIDI settings.
4. Use your DAW's MIDI learn on a knob or fader, then slide along the edge.

The edges go back to Everywhere when you switch to another app.

Make it feel right

Under Feel, turn Haptics off or on, make the edges Narrow or Wide, and set the Sensitivity.
