Frequently asked questions

Deftbox is a native macOS utility that adds a Finder extension, automatic input-method switching, per-app and per-website input rules, mouse customization (click bindings, gestures, smooth scrolling), and a searchable clipboard manager.

macOS 26.0 and later. Older versions are not supported.

Deftbox is available exclusively on the Mac App Store. Search for “Deftbox” or use the download link on this site.

Accessibility is required to switch the system input source from the main app. Input Monitoring is required for the mouse event tap that powers click bindings, gestures, and smooth scrolling. The Finder extension uses the Finder Sync entitlement.

No. Deftbox runs entirely on your device — there are no analytics, ads, or telemetry servers, and we never collect data about how you use the app. Purchases are handled by Apple through the Mac App Store, so we never see your payment details either. See the Privacy Policy for details.

The extension is sandboxed and only acts on items you explicitly invoke through it. It is bundled and signed together with the main app and goes through Apple's App Store review.

Quit Deftbox, then drag Deftbox.app from Applications to the Trash. Deftbox is sandboxed, so its data lives in its container under Library/Containers if you want to remove that as well.

Email us at support@deftbox.app. We read every report.

Deftbox is a paid app sold through the Mac App Store. The current price is always shown on its App Store page.

Purchases are processed by Apple, so refunds are handled by Apple rather than by us. Go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with the Apple Account you used for the purchase, and request a refund for Deftbox.
