A MacOS (10.10 and up) menu bar app for connecting to your Magic Mouse via keyboard shortcut
Unfortunately switching your Magic Mouse between devices isn't easy.
- The connection consistently fails or unpairs when you try to connect to another Macbook after previously being connected to a different machine.
- Its even worse if you happen to have a vertical mount setup so you have no access to your trackpad without a mouse.
- Its also free (unlike an app like Tooth Fairy)
Simple - MagicBar is able to find your Magic Mouse without you having to select it from a list (but only if you have it paired initially).
Once you run the app with a paired Magic Mouse then MagicBar will be able to connect and even re-pair the device in the future (no more dropping the connection when switching between machines! 👏)
All you need is a keyboard shortcut.
cmd + shift + m: Connect to your Magic Mouse
cmd + shift + option + m: Disconnect from your Magic Mouse
Option to change keyboard shortcuts coming soon.
