Hey Product Hunt! I'm Brahim, the maker of Magic Knob.
Magic Knob turns the trackpad you already use into a dial for everyday Mac controls. Rotate two fingers to adjust volume or brightness, or click with three fingers to play/pause. You can also assign keyboard shortcuts, media keys, or lock-screen actions.
It lives in the menu bar, with an on-screen overlay when you turn the dial and settings for sensitivity and actions. It supports both built-in MacBook trackpads and the external Magic Trackpad.
You can try it free, without an account or card, and buy a one-time license if it fits your workflow.
Which control would you put on the dial first? I'd love to hear how it feels on your trackpad.
