A Magic Utilities alternative for the Magic Mouse
Magic Utilities is a mature app for Apple’s mouse, trackpad and keyboard, sold by the year. If the Magic Mouse is why you have it, MacFixes Pro covers it for less, and comes with a lot more.
Competitor details checked October 2026. We make MacFixes.
MacFixes Pro adds Magic Mouse tap to click, right and middle click, tap-to-drag, pinch to zoom and a flat pointer for $9.99 a year, against about $14.99 a year for Magic Utilities. Magic Utilities still goes deeper on the trackpad and keyboard.
| MacFixes | Magic Utilities | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $9.99/year or $0.99/month | About $14.99/year |
| Magic Mouse tap to click | Yes, with a sensitivity slider and test pad | Yes |
| Middle click and pinch to zoom | Yes | See their site |
| Trackpad and keyboard settings | Some (scroll direction per device, Hyper key) | Extensive |
| Everything else | 45 Mac fixes and the Pro apps | Focused on Apple input devices |
Why look for a Magic Utilities alternative?
Mostly the yearly licence. If you use it for tap to click on the Magic Mouse, you pay every year for a feature that doesn’t change.
How MacFixes is different
The Magic Mouse is one part of MacFixes, not the whole app. The same subscription covers the Pro apps, and the 42 free fixes — volume per app, window snapping, cut and paste in Finder, clipboard history — stay free.
Taps are tuned with one slider, and a test pad tells you after every tap whether it counted and why not, instead of leaving you to guess.
When to stay with Magic Utilities
If you rely on its trackpad and Magic Keyboard settings, MacFixes doesn’t replace those. If you only want tap to click and nothing else, our one-time MagicMouseTap ($0.99) is cheaper than either.
Questions
Does it work with the USB-C Magic Mouse?
Yes: the original Magic Mouse, the Magic Mouse 2 and the USB-C Magic Mouse.
Can I run it alongside Magic Utilities?
Not for tap to click — two tap-to-click apps make every tap click twice. Quit one while you try the other.
