Jitouch is an application which adds eight new sets of gestures to the MacBook multi-touch trackpads. These include:
- Switch to the next or previous tab (for Web browsers only)
- Open a link in a new tab (for Web browsers only)
- Minimize a window
- Zoom a window
- Move and resize a window
- Close a window or tab
- Open a recently closed tab (for Firefox only)
- Quit an application
These could be especially useful for trackpad users who can now do these things easily and quickly without needing to use the keyboard. You can see how simple these are to use with the demonstration video:
The Jitouch website says that they will soon be releasing a version which will add gesture capabilities to the Magic Mouse, but for now the program is only useful for MacBook users with multi-touch capable trackpads.
Jitouch costs just US$5.49. Part of the proceeds will be donated to help poor children in Thailand, where the programmers live.

Just another why I love my Mac! It’s been just over a year since I left windows for good. Glad to see they keep coming up with new ideas.
