ByeCtrlClick is a gaming utility for Mac that stops Control-click from opening context menus. Hold Control to crouch, sprint, or use an ability, and your click stays a normal left click. Real right-clicks still work, so Finder and everything else behave as usual. Gaming Mode gets your Mac ready for a session by quitting the apps you pick and keeping your system awake. It lives in your menu bar, so every toggle is one click away.

  • Stop Ctrl-click opening context menus

  • Quit chat and sync apps before you play

  • Check FPS, GPU and RAM while gaming

  • Get Ctrl shortcuts to reach your game

ByeCtrlClick features


Say goodbye to Control-click menus

On a Mac, Control plus click means right-click. That’s handy in Finder, but in games it eats your clicks. ByeCtrlClick removes the Control flag from left clicks only. Real right-clicks from your mouse or trackpad keep working.


Get your Mac game-ready in one click

Gaming Mode quits the apps you choose, like chat or sync tools, and can relaunch them when you’re done. Optional settings keep the display and system awake, pause Time Machine backups to cut disk load, and reduce transparency for less compositing work.


See how your game runs

Turn on Apple’s Metal performance HUD for frame rate and GPU details. Prefer something simpler? The built-in overlay is a small floating panel that shows CPU, GPU, and RAM usage.


Make Ctrl shortcuts reach your game

Does Ctrl+Space never make it to your game? Gaming Mode can pause the macOS shortcuts that use Control while you play, then restore them afterwards. The built-in key conflict check shows where a combination gets lost.


Keep everything in the menu bar

Every toggle is one click away. Hide the Dock icon if you like, and let ByeCtrlClick start at login so it’s ready when you are.


Stay local and private

Everything runs on your Mac. ByeCtrlClick needs Accessibility access to change click events, and the app itself doesn’t collect any personal data.
