About:
Flic is the official driver and manager for the Flic smart button on macOS. It facilitates the Bluetooth Low Energy connection between the physical button and your Mac, enabling it to trigger keyboard shortcuts and automation workflows. This service runs in the background to ensure your Flic buttons remain paired and responsive.
Key Features:
  • Seamless Bluetooth LE pairing and connection management
  • System-wide keyboard shortcut mapping for button presses
  • Background service operation for instant response
  • Support for single, double, and long-press actions
Use Cases:
  • Triggering custom keyboard shortcuts for apps like Photoshop or VS Code
  • Controlling media playback (play/pause/skip) globally
  • Executing AppleScript or automation workflows from a physical button
Alternatives:
  • BetterTouchTool – More versatile automation tool that supports Flic as an input device among many others, but requires more complex configuration.
  • Keyboard Maestro – Powerful macro tool that can be triggered by Flic if mapped to a keystroke, but is a broader automation platform.
