Frequently asked questions.

Tenon is a Windows app and signed driver that makes Apple's Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Keyboard behave the way they do on a Mac — smooth scrolling, the full gesture set, media and function keys, and battery in the tray. AirPods are covered too, but for battery level only: Tenon does not do ear-detection auto-pause or tap controls.

Not yet — Tenon is in active development. Join the waitlist and we will email you when the free Windows beta is ready. There is nothing to buy or download today.

Tenon supports the current USB-C Apple Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Keyboard. The trackpad and keyboard connect over Bluetooth or USB; the Magic Mouse is Bluetooth-only. Older Lightning-generation models are not validated yet — the supported-devices page tracks every model. AirPods battery is part of Tenon Pro.

Tenon is built and tested on Windows 10 22H2 (x64), which is the machine it is developed on. Windows 11 uses the same driver model, so support is expected — but it has not been validated yet, and we will not claim it until it has been. Windows 11 coverage is one of the things the beta is for; the supported-devices page tracks the current status.

Out of the box Windows only gives the Magic Mouse jumpy, line-by-line scrolling. Tenon replaces that with smooth, pixel-level inertial scrolling and horizontal swipe, like on a Mac.

Tenon maps the Magic Mouse surface gestures, like two-finger swipe between pages, to native Windows navigation actions.

Yes — that's what Tenon is built for. It drives the Magic Trackpad with its own gesture engine rather than the Windows Precision Touchpad stack, so multi-finger swipes, tap-to-click, and force-click work on Windows.

Tenon reads the trackpad pressure data, so force-click and pressure-sensitive actions are available on Windows.

Tenon restores the Magic Keyboard function row on Windows — brightness, volume, media playback, and the F-keys — and lets you choose which behavior is the default.

Yes. Tenon remaps Command and Control inside the Magic Keyboard's own driver, so familiar Mac shortcuts work on Windows and your other keyboards are left alone. The swap is one global setting; per-app overrides are on the roadmap, not in version 1.0.

Battery levels, and only battery levels: Tenon reads the charge of your AirPods and AirPods Max and shows them alongside your other devices. It does not add ear-detection auto-pause, tap or stem controls, or automatic device switching — those are held in Apple firmware or need kernel-level Bluetooth access Windows does not expose, so they are not on the roadmap.

In the tray and in the app, when the keyboard is connected over USB. Over Bluetooth the Magic Keyboard exposes no battery property for Windows to read, so a keyboard used purely over Bluetooth shows no percentage. The Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad report battery over Bluetooth as well as USB.

No. Tenon's driver will ship with a standard code signature and Microsoft attestation, so Windows loads it without Secure Boot changes or test-signing workarounds.

Tenon Free shows battery and connection status for your Magic input devices — mouse, trackpad, and keyboard — in the tray. Everything else is Tenon Pro: smooth scrolling, the full gesture set, custom gesture-to-action mapping, and AirPods battery. Pro is $50 per year flat for all your Apple devices together, or $90 for two years. Every install starts with a 30-day trial of Pro — no card and no account needed, the trial is enforced by the app itself — and then drops to Free.

Yes. Battery and connection status stay free permanently; everything else is part of Pro. The pricing answer above has the full split.

Magic Utilities is an established, code-signed option, licensed per device (about $15 per device per year) with a 28-day trial and no permanent free tier. Tenon is one flat plan for all your devices, adds AirPods battery and custom gesture-to-action mapping, and keeps a free battery tier. If you only have one device and want something shipping today, buy Magic Utilities.
