history
Project history and usage
BetterAndBetter is a proprietary macOS gesture and input-automation utility from Better365. It maps trackpad, mouse, and keyboard gestures to built-in actions, shortcuts, and user-authored scripts.
Project history
BetterAndBetter 2.0 developed into a broad macOS input-customization utility covering trackpads, Magic Mouse, conventional multi-button mice, and keyboards. Later releases added selectable beginner, normal, and expert rule sets; the official documentation identifies those modes as available from version 2.3.5.
Adoption history
The developer distributes BetterAndBetter directly for Intel and Apple-silicon Macs and maintains tutorials, FAQs, mouse-compatibility guidance, and a library of example rules and scripts.
How it is used
Users define global or application-specific rules that connect action gestures or drawn gestures to presets, scripts, and keyboard shortcuts. The app can also smooth mouse-wheel scrolling, extend multi-button and Magic Mouse behavior, control windows, and synchronize rules through iCloud.
Why package nerds care
It occupies the macOS power-user niche between gesture customization, input remapping, window control, and lightweight automation. Its support for presets, shortcuts, and AppleScript makes it useful as a graphical automation layer.
