Accessibility statement
InputConfig is completely free on the Mac App Store. You don't have to make an account, there are no subscriptions, and nothing is locked. Optimized for Apple silicon.
I built InputConfig because my own hands do not work well, and I run my Mac with it every day. This page says what the app does for accessibility, what it has been checked against, where it falls short, and how to tell me when something does not work for you. Last reviewed November 4, 2026, for InputConfig 1.8.

Who it is for
Anyone for whom a keyboard and mouse are hard to hold, reach or press steadily. A game controller, the PlayStation Access Controller, the Xbox Adaptive Controller with switches plugged in, a MIDI pad, or a knock on the MacBook's case can each run the whole Mac through InputConfig. The same mappings work for gaming, music and everyday work, so nobody has to use a separate "accessible" mode.
Using the app itself
These are the features InputConfig declares on its Mac App Store listing, and what each means in the app:
- VoiceOver. Every field in the binding editor, the input scanner and the Live Visualizers is labeled, and changes are announced.
- Voice Control. The Presets menu holds every folder and Trash action, so the library can be organized by voice, and every control has a spoken name.
- Dark Interface. The app follows the system appearance.
- Differentiate Without Color Alone. State is shown with shapes and words, not only color: a running preset reads as running, not only as green.
- Sufficient Contrast. Text and controls meet the contrast the system setting asks for.
- Reduced Motion. With the system setting on, the app stops its animations.
Beyond the declared features: app-wide text size, bold text and reduced transparency follow the system settings; the keyboard focus ring is visible; the whole app can be driven from the keyboard, from VoiceOver, or from a controller running one of its own presets. While the editor is open, a controller still moves the pointer and clicks, and Escape, Return, Tab, the arrows and Space work from it, so Save and Cancel are always in reach.
What the app does for your hands
- One-stick driving. Steer, accelerate, brake and shift from one stick, the way a power wheelchair drives. See one-stick driving.
- One button, several jobs. Hold, double tap, triple tap and chords, each with its own timing, so a hand with few reachable buttons can still do everything.
- Tuned per control. Deadzones, Full push at, and sensitivity curves are set while watching the stick, so a tremor or a short reach still gives steady control.
- Adaptive hardware. The PlayStation Access Controller is read socket by socket, with its stored profiles listed, switched and edited from the app. The Xbox Adaptive Controller and the switches and pedals plugged into it are inputs of their own. See the guide to adaptive controllers on a Mac.
- Feedback you can feel or hear. Spoken phrases and haptic confirmation on any press.
- An emergency stop. One shortcut, or two controller buttons held together, halts everything and releases every held key, button and note, whatever the preset says. See emergency stop.
- Ready-made starts. Easy Browse, the preset the welcome screen offers first, runs the whole Mac from a controller. The guides cover a Mac without a keyboard, one hand, tremor and limited range, single switches, and setups an occupational therapist can follow.
The full list is on the accessibility features page.
This website
Every page has a skip link, one heading at the top, headings in order, alt text on every picture, numbered captions, tables with named headers, lists marked as lists, and links that say where they go. Arabic and Hebrew pages read right to left. Nothing plays or moves on its own, and the browser tools work with a keyboard. Text can be enlarged without anything breaking.
Limits I know about
- No formal audit yet. This statement is mine, checked by hand against the app and the site. There is no VPAT or third-party WCAG report. When there is one it will be linked here.
- Audio descriptions. The app has no video content, so it offers none.
- Tap the Mac needs a MacBook whose motion sensor macOS publishes. It worked on the M4 MacBooks it was tested on and did not work on an M1 Pro, and the calibrator's status chip tells you whether yours listens.
- Hardware I do not own. Where a page says a device is untested, that is the truth: it is supported from its maker's documentation, not from a unit on my desk.
Tell me when something is wrong
If anything in the app or on this site is hard to use with your hands, your screen reader or your voice, open an issue on GitHub or email [email protected]. An accessibility problem is a bug, and it goes to the front of the line.
