Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 1 of the 48 other window managers and launchers we grade
Mouseless lets you click, drag and scroll by typing screen coordinates or using a free-movement mode. It runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. A 14-day trial needs no card or email, and a lifetime or subscription license covers all platforms and versions.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Mouseless, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, and typing coordinates on an overlay is a habit to learn.
- 1
Best for controlling the mouse from the keyboard on any desktop
Mouseless lets you click, drag and scroll by typing coordinates, on Mac, Windows and Linux.
- 2
You can try it first
14-day trial, no card or email required
- 3
It runs on 3 platforms
macOS, Windows and Linux.
- 4
Coordinate clicking
Click by typing a few coordinates on an on-screen overlay.
- 5
All mouse actions
Left, right, middle, back and forward buttons, plus drag, drop, scroll, and double and triple clicks.
- 6
Free mode
Smooth, configurable cursor movement without the overlay, as an upgrade on built-in mouse keys.
- 7
A 2.0 GPA, above 1 of 48
That is against the other window managers and launchers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace Mouseless you would be making keys and buttons remapped below the level of apps. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for controlling the mouse from the keyboard on any desktop
Mouseless lets you click, drag and scroll by typing coordinates, on Mac, Windows and Linux. The trial is 14 days with no card, but the lifetime and subscription prices were not readable, and licenses must be re-validated every 30 days.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | The lifetime and subscription prices sit behind a purchase dialog and are not on record, so there is no figure to compare. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day trial with no card or email, but no free plan after it. |
| Features | C | Every button and action, plus a free-movement mode. It does that job fully, and it is a smaller job. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record, and typing coordinates on an overlay is a habit to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Mac, Windows and Linux, but computers only, with no integrations listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Mouseless is for
- Fits if mouse strain or accessibility needs push you to the keyboard
- Works for people who switch between Mac, Windows and Linux
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay free, because the trial ends after 14 days
- Not for you if you need a price first, as the paid amounts are not published
- Watch out: each license activates on 5 machines and must be validated at least every 30 days
- Skip it if you want phones or tablets covered, since it is desktop only
Good to know
Good for
- People with mouse-related strain or accessibility needs
- Keyboard-centric users across several operating systems
Worth knowing
- The price of the lifetime and subscription licenses sits behind a purchase dialog that could not be read, so no amount is listed.
- Each license activates on 5 machines and must be validated at least every 30 days.
- The site states 25% off for academic emails.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Mouseless you would be making keys and buttons remapped below the level of apps. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 42 of the 48 other window managers and launchers grade higher.
What you could not
- Keys and buttons remapped below the level of apps.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Mouseless’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
