I literally can't survive without BTT and its trackpad gestures. company use windows and I'm not interested in even trying any alternative app nor do I believe they are as close to BTT. how likely are we going to see any future release supporting windows ?
If I had to bet on a Windows version of BetterTouchTool ever becoming a reality, I’d honestly struggle to come up with an event that feels less likely.
BTT is the product of over 15 years of work by a single developer, Andreas. It’s deeply woven into macOS, relying heavily on the Cocoa frameworks and Objective-C, areas where Andreas has exceptional, painstakingly developed expertise. That tight integration is a big part of why BTT is so powerful and flexible.
Porting it to Windows wouldn’t just be a technical challenge. It would mean rebuilding much of it from scratch in an entirely different ecosystem, likely without the same system-level hooks and accessibility.
I get the frustration, though. As far as I'm aware (and I haven't looked very closely) there isn’t anything that matches BTT on Windows, which makes switching platforms that much harder.
Interesting fact, Andreas developed BTT in the first place due to personal frustrations he had when he moved from Windows to macOS (correct me if I'm wrong @Andreas_Hegenberg).
all correct
Definitely no windows version in this life!
Thank you for the input, knowing what I know now, I much rather appreciate seeing his work manifested in macOS at least. we could've not have it in the first place.
我和你一样都在windows上寻找替代方案 对我来说最重要的是鼠标滚轮移动到屏幕顶部时可以切换浏览器标签页 这个功能我离不开
