Raiju

macOS

One stroke, done.

Hold the right mouse button, draw a stroke, and let go to fire the shortcut it stands for: left and right to switch tabs, up to maximize, an upside-down L to close the tab. Raiju is a mouse gesture tool built natively for Apple silicon. Light, fast, and quiet in the background.

What it does

01

Draw any shape

Hold the right or middle button and draw. Not just up, down, left and right: zigzags, checkmarks and loops all work as gestures. Recognized on release, or the moment you finish drawing if you prefer.

02

Follows the app under the pointer

Gestures live at four levels: global, group, app and desktop, matched to the app under your pointer. The same stroke can close a tab in your browser and do something else in your editor.

03

System shortcuts

Send system-wide shortcuts like Mission Control or switching Spaces directly, without first bringing the app under the pointer to the front.

04

Native on Apple silicon

Written natively in Swift, about 1.4 MB to download. Recognizing a gesture takes around 4 microseconds, and it uses almost no CPU while you are not drawing.

05

Works with WGestures settings

Reads your WGestures 2 gestures and preferences directly, so moving over takes one click on first launch. Your gestures and shortcuts work just as before.

06

See your stroke

Your stroke is drawn live as you move. It changes color and shows the gesture name once recognized, so a miss is obvious at a glance.

Draw on this screen

Below is a Mac screen. Hold the mouse button (or your finger on a phone) and draw a stroke, then let go to see which gesture it matched and which shortcut it would press.

  1. Draw left or right: switch tabs
  2. Draw up: maximize
  3. Right, then down, an upside-down L: close the tab

This is a simulated demo with sample data.
