Engineered from scratch in modern Swift for maximum responsiveness and minimal resource impact.
Compiled directly to ARM64 and x86_64 machine code with modern Swift state observation. Zero Electron or web-wrapper bloat.
Runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs without translation overhead.
Sub-pixel scroll physics are synchronized with your Mac's screen refresh rate (60Hz or 120Hz ProMotion).
Communicates straight to the USB and Bluetooth human-interface bus for sub-millisecond click response.
Code-signed with an official Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple Gatekeeper for clean, warning-free installs.
Event taps consume virtually zero CPU cycles when your mouse is stationary, keeping battery consumption negligible.
Input utilities require macOS Accessibility permissions. We treat your privacy as non-negotiable.
All clicks, scrolls, and gestures are processed in-memory and immediately discarded. Nothing is logged to disk.
Coordinates, clicks, gestures, and active app titles are never transmitted over the internet.
Download, test the full 14-day trial, and activate your license without creating an account or providing an email in-app.

Everything you need to know about compatibility, permissions, security, and licensing.
ApexMouse is a 100% native macOS software utility application (.dmg installer), NOT a physical computer mouse.
You do not buy a physical mouse device from us. Instead, you download and install the ApexMouse software application on your Mac (MacBook Pro/Air, Mac mini, Mac Studio, or iMac) to control and dramatically upgrade the physical USB or Bluetooth mouse you already own (including Logitech MX Master 3S, Razer DeathAdder, SteelSeries, Keychron, or Apple Magic Mouse). ApexMouse is an independent macOS software application and is not affiliated with the ALOGIC Apex Bluetooth mouse or any physical hardware peripheral.
ApexMouse is an all-in-one native Swift utility combining 120Hz ProMotion CVDisplayLink smooth scrolling, 1:1 hardware cursor acceleration bypass, a live 1000Hz polling rate meter, a magnetic Drop Shelf for file staging, semantic element scrubbing, and a radial dial menu. Unlike Mos or LinearMouse which only handle basic scrolling or acceleration, or BetterMouse which lacks integrated shelf staging and live telemetry, ApexMouse delivers full-spectrum mouse optimization with virtually zero idle CPU usage.
Yes, absolutely. Many Mac users suffer from high battery drain and choppy scrolling caused by bulky 500MB+ vendor software suites like Logitech G HUB, Logi Options+, or Razer Synapse. ApexMouse natively handles Logitech (MX Master 3S, G502, G Pro X), Razer, SteelSeries, Keychron, and Apple mice directly at the macOS IOKit level. You get buttery-smooth momentum, customizable side button remapping, and independent X/Y DPI calibration with under 0.1% CPU usage and zero background daemons.
Yes, completely. ApexMouse is signed with an official Apple Developer ID certificate and fully notarized by Apple's security servers. When you open ApexMouse for the first time, macOS Gatekeeper verifies its cryptographic signature and checks that Apple scanned the binary for malicious software. You will see Apple's trusted verification dialog and can launch the app immediately without terminal commands or security overrides.
When macOS undergoes major system updates (e.g. updating to Sequoia, Tahoe, or Golden Gate), Apple's TCC permissions database occasionally desynchronizes app binary signatures. To resolve this:
/Applications/ApexMouse.app.

You can look up all your license keys and receipts at any time without waiting for support:
No! ApexMouse uses real-time IOKit HID device telemetry to isolate built-in and Magic Trackpads. Native Apple multi-touch gestures, fluid pinch-to-zoom, and natural inertia are passed through 100% untouched. External USB/Bluetooth mice get butter-smooth momentum without affecting your trackpad.
macOS requires Accessibility authorisation for utilities that modify mouse input. This allows ApexMouse to intercept mouse wheel events to apply fluid scrolling momentum, and detect extra mouse buttons for quick actions. ApexMouse requires only this standard permission to function.
Virtually zero. ApexMouse is engineered in 100% native Swift 5.10+ and SwiftUI with zero Electron or WebKit bloat. The display link only ticks when active scrolling occurs and goes completely dormant within milliseconds, consuming virtually 0.0% CPU at idle with zero battery impact.
Yes. ApexMouse is 100% native on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs. It runs with zero translation layer or Rosetta emulation, delivering maximum responsiveness and zero battery drain.
ApexMouse processes all mouse events and gestures 100% locally on your Mac — it never logs keystrokes, cursor positions, or visited apps. A brief internet connection is only needed to activate your license key and re-validate every few days (with a 15-day offline grace period), or to send optional crash diagnostics which you can disable in Settings.
The Tip Jar (via Buy Me a Coffee, GitHub Sponsors, or PayPal) is completely voluntary. ApexMouse is built with pride by an independent developer and contains zero ads, zero tracking scripts, and zero investor pressure. Tips directly fund purchases of specialized test mice, high-refresh displays, and continuous software maintenance for every upcoming macOS release.
