Controller mapping for macOS
Turn a familiar gamepad into a custom Mac controller.
ConMapper is built for productivity, media control, utility apps, and anyone who wants another way to control their Mac. Connect a controller, choose a button, set an action, and make it fit your habits.
Control mouse actions
Trigger mouse clicks and cursor-related actions, or use gyro cursor movement for desktop control and presentation workflows.
Run Shortcuts
Pick existing Shortcuts from your Mac and run automation flows with one controller button press.
Launch apps quickly
Assign a button to open a specific app, making it faster to switch tools, launch editors, or enter entertainment setups.
App-specific profiles
Create separate profiles for different apps, so Chrome, Xcode, media players, and other tools can each have their own controls.
Layer actions
Use layers to give the same buttons multiple meanings, useful for complex controls, temporary modes, and denser shortcut layouts.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which controllers does ConMapper support?
It is designed for gamepads recognized by macOS and includes support for HID scenarios such as single Joy-Con devices. Actual behavior can depend on your controller model and system connection state.
Why is Accessibility permission required?
macOS requires Accessibility permission before an app can simulate keyboard and mouse input. ConMapper uses it to trigger only the actions you configure.
Are mapping profiles uploaded?
ConMapper is designed to work primarily on your device. According to its App Store privacy information, the developer does not collect data from this app.
