About ClawMote

ClawMote is a native macOS menu bar application that transforms any wireless mouse into a fully customizable shortcut controller. Users can remap extra mouse buttons to trigger specific actions like Wispr Flow voice input, system shortcuts, or custom keystrokes. This utility reduces keyboard dependency, enabling one-handed control for workflows, presentations, and couch computing.

Company Description

Problem

Many wireless mice include extra programmable buttons that remain idle or are bound to generic defaults, forcing users to repeatedly reach for the keyboard to execute shortcuts, launch applications, or invoke voice‑first workflows. This reliance on the keyboard hampers efficiency for standing‑desk, presentation, and accessibility scenarios on macOS.

Solution

ClawMote is a native macOS menu‑bar utility built in Swift that transforms any HID‑compatible wireless mouse into a fully programmable shortcut controller. The app auto‑detects connected mice, presents a lightweight UI for mapping each button to arbitrary keystroke sequences, system functions, or Wispr Flow voice‑input triggers, and applies the mappings in real time without requiring additional drivers. By offloading shortcut execution to the mouse, users achieve one‑handed control for presentations, remote workstation operation, and accessibility needs, reducing keyboard dependency and streamlining workflow continuity across the desktop environment.

Features

Automatic HID detection and plug‑and‑play onboarding for any wireless mouse with extra buttons (trackballs, air mice, presentation remotes, gaming mice).

Per‑button mapping engine supporting custom keystroke combos, system shortcuts, Spotlight, Fn key emulation, and direct integration with Wispr Flow voice commands.

Native Swift implementation runs silently in the macOS menu bar, delivering low‑latency input processing and minimal CPU overhead.

Secure local configuration storage with no cloud sync, ensuring user data remains on‑device and free from subscription tracking.

Flexible profile management allowing users to switch between context‑specific shortcut sets (e.g., presentation mode vs. coding mode).

Compatibility with macOS 14+ and full support for Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz USB receivers.

One‑time purchase model eliminates recurring fees and eliminates the need for user accounts or online activation.

Target Audience

The primary customers are macOS power users—developers, presenters, remote workers, and accessibility users—who require rapid, one‑handed shortcut execution without interrupting their workflow. It also serves IT departments provisioning standardized input solutions for shared workstations.

Revenue Model

ClawMote is sold as a perpetual license for $20 per user, with no subscription fees, recurring charges, or data‑collection requirements.
