What people say

Rated 5.0 / 5 by verified buyers on Gumroad.

It works! Control is the keybind for sprinting in Minecraft and I have previously used a mod to achieve this (so I can run and click at the same time), but this tool is so much more convenient! Many thanks to the developer <3 — great menu bar settings menu and easy to use.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does ByeCtrlClick block normal right‑clicks too?

No. Only context menus triggered by holding Ctrl while left-clicking are blocked. A regular right-click or two-finger tap on the trackpad keeps working exactly as before. Curious why macOS does this at all? Here's the full explanation.

Is ByeCtrlClick a subscription?

No. You pay once and the app is yours forever — no recurring fees, no ads.

Does the app collect any data?

No. There is no tracking and no analytics. The only connections the app makes are a one-time licence check with Gumroad and the update check through Sparkle. See the privacy policy.

Why does it need Accessibility permission?

To filter mouse events system-wide, macOS requires Accessibility access — there is no other way to decide whether a click should open a context menu. You grant it yourself in System Settings and can withdraw it at any time.

Can I pause ByeCtrlClick temporarily?

Yes. The app lives in your menu bar — one click on the toggle disables or re-enables blocking instantly.

Does it work on Windows or Linux?

No, ByeCtrlClick is built exclusively for macOS.

How do I get updates?

ByeCtrlClick updates itself through Sparkle, and every version is listed on the changelog page.
