My preset isn’t the most effective in bringing out the magic of BTT as I like to keep everything minimal.
There is many many more things you can do with BTT. So previously on my Global template, long tapping the time will open the Calendar app, while long tapping the decrease volume icon will mute my MBP. For example, doing a two finger swipe left or right along the touchbar strip will reduce or increase volume.īTT supports long taps as well. For example, when I hold on to the control (^) key, the touchbar will look like this:īTT also allows multi-finger touch on the touchbar. If you’re interested by the amount of customisation you can create, check these 2 presets out:īTT even allows keystroke modifiers to tweak the touchbar – giving you more room to put all your customisations. As I like to keep my touchbar minimalistic and less clutter, I didn’t add as many functions as other people do. Impressed? This is just the tip of the iceberg of what this app can do. Spotify is triggered and the song details are listed on the touchbar. Spotify song details as shown (works on Apple Music as well)īam. Notice the play button on the left side of the touchbar? This is what happens when I tap play. Now you might wonder what is the huge blank in the middle for. These are all simple tweaks and customisations. Since I prefer tapping to change brightness and volume, I made it the way I like. I can take screenshots with one tap instead of using a CMD+SHIFT+4. Now I’d like you focus on the right side of the above image. Global templateĪs you can see from my Global template, I can now launch commonly used apps such as Finder and Notes with just one tap rather than triggering Spotlight then typing the F or N. Some examples include toggling the True Tone on/off with ONE tap on the touchbar, even displaying weather information if that’s your thing.
It is crazy how much you can do to make this touchbar your very own experience. You basically create a button on the touchbar and map it to a keyboard shortcut, a pre-defined action listed in BTT, even create a chain of actions.
My Global template – so my touchbar will always look like this unless an app has an app-specific touchbar template This is how my touchbar will look like when I launch Microsoft Word What can BetterTouchTool do
Another awesome thing is that the developer created a forum for users to share their touchbar customisation presets, so everyone gets to enjoy useful and amazing tools for FREE.

What makes this app brilliant is that it allows you to customise and do all the things you want to do on the touchbar.Īpple should have released an app like this along with the introduction of the touchbar.Īpart from customising the touchbar, this app does way more such as customising your keyboard, trackpad and even gives you windows snapping! But in this post, I’ll focusing on the touchbar customisation. When using my friend’s 2017 MBP w/o touchbar, I missed the productivity tools I’ve set up on my touchbar. This app made me WANT to have a touchbar. Until I downloaded BetterTouchTool (BTT). I was having the same opinion as most people – the touchbar is a gimmick, not worth paying extra for it. Besides that I didn’t found the touchbar to increase my productivity even in apps like Premiere Pro, Microsoft Word, etc. But Apple doesn’t give you an option in the touchbar settings to do that unless you revert to the Expanded Control Strip. When I first got my 2018 MacBook Pro, I still preferred tapping to change volume rather than flicking or swiping. The MacBook Pros these days all come with the touchbar.
