An open-source macOS utility for switching between virtual desktops with a hold, slide, release trackpad gesture.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

iWheel maps a three-finger trackpad gesture onto macOS Spaces: the user holds still to reveal desktops, slides while a highlight tracks the gesture, and releases to switch. The page says the utility preserves existing Mac gestures rather than replacing them. It is labeled free, open source, and MIT licensed, with compatibility listed as macOS 26+ on Apple Silicon and links to GitHub for the source or project trail.
