Touchy.js is a lightweight (1.98 kb minified+gzip) JavaScript library for handling touch events in the browser. It wraps touch interactions into finger and hand abstractions, supporting multi-touch gestures with start/move/end event callbacks.

Use cases

  • handle touch and swipe gestures on mobile web pages
  • detect multi-finger pinch or drag interactions
  • track a finger's full touch-drag-release path as one object
  • build custom touch-based UI controls without a framework
  • add touch event support with a tiny dependency-free script

When to choose

  • you need a tiny, dependency-free touch event library for a mobile web project
  • you want simple multi-touch handling with per-finger-count callbacks
  • you're maintaining a legacy project that already uses Touchy.js

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained library with active support and a license file
  • you're building a modern app where pointer events or a framework's gesture system suffice
  • you need broad device compatibility testing and updates
