There’s no doubt that the MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar has a lot of potential, but it’s never really lived up to it.

With BetterTouchTool at your disposal, you can transform it into the brilliant tool that it was always meant to be with you firmly at the helm.

Using an app whose developer hasn’t built in Touch Bar support, or one with lacklustre features? You can now take control and add it to the Touch Bar, letting you launch it or execute custom functions with a quick tap.

The app’s real strength is the power it gives you over workflows. You can set up various triggers and processes to carry out complex tasks right from the Touch Bar. BetterTouchTool even works with trackpad gestures, text shortcuts, keyboard triggers, and plenty more, making it a superb all–rounder.
