02Haemil Back
Side buttons that go Back and Forward.
On a Mac, Safari and Finder ignore your mouse's side buttons. Haemil Back catches them and sends ⌘[ and ⌘] instead. It sits quietly in the menu bar.

02Setup
Three steps and you're done.
- 01
Download and move
Open HaemilBack.dmg, drag Haemil Back to Applications and open it.
- 02
Allow Accessibility
When asked, turn on Haemil Back in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Accessibility. It restarts itself once allowed.
- 03
Then it just runs
It adds itself to Login Items, so it starts with your Mac. Check its status or quit from the menu bar icon.
03Troubleshooting
Most mice just work.
- 01
No per-model setup
Haemil Back listens for the standard macOS mouse buttons 3 and 4, which most side buttons send.
- 02
Vendor software
If Logi Options+, Razer Synapse or similar has remapped the side buttons, set them back to default there.
- 03
Check the log
Still nothing? Open ~/Library/Logs/HaemilBack.log. If your mouse sends a different button number, it shows up there. Tell us in a GitHub issue.
