Tap2Click adds tap to click to the Apple Magic Mouse: a light touch is a click, two fingers is a right-click, so the mouse is silent. Free, open source, 0.4 MB, macOS 13+. Made by Tourist.com.
Thirty seconds, once.
The icon appears in the menu bar. There is no main window.
macOS asks once. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and switch Tap2Click on. That is the only way a macOS app is allowed to send a click. If the toggle is on but the icon still shows a warning, pick Grant Accessibility permission → Reset & ask again in the menu.
A light touch on the Magic Mouse is a click. Two fingers is a right-click. Done.
Every build is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple. Paranoid? Check it yourself.
