During this time, there were even more of them, so it was decided to make a small but relevant selection of all sorts of utilities, toys and applications for the touch panel in MacBooks. Over the past couple of weeks, we've introduced you to a few fun (or weird?) Touch Bar apps in the new MacBook Pros. You can also add a third-party media player to the panel, such as Spotify.Ī big plus of the program is that the main functions of the Touch Bar remain in their previous places, which means that the user does not need to switch to access the Escape key, brightness and sound buttons. On the touch panel, you can display the current time, battery charge, Wi-Fi signal strength, search - in general, everything that we are used to seeing in the menu-bar. Of course, our application supports notifications, so any missed event will remind you of yourself with a red sticker.Īnother equally useful feature is a function that allows you to display the status bar and widgets. According to the developer, this trick will increase the usable area of the main display, because now the strip with programs can be simply hidden. The first option that is definitely worth mentioning is the ability to place a full-fledged Dock on the Touch Bar. What improvements does this utility bring? To do this, you just need to download the Pock utility on the developer's official website.

But can the Touch Bar really be made useful in everyday use?Īs it turned out, yes. On the contrary, this design element is criticized to this day. As planned by the company, the touch panel was supposed to simplify access to various functions, but for many users the appearance of the Touch Bar was not a revelation.
