Think the MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar is pointless? These 4 apps make it awesome
Get more from your MacBook’s Touch Bar with the features Apple forgot
1-BetterTouchTool: it puts you firmly in control. For starters, it lets you add any app to the Touch Bar, not just those whose developers have added Touch Bar functionality. You can quickly launch any app you want, or add a button for certain functionality (for example, going to a specific URL in Safari).
2-Pock: it enables you to maintain a clean, Dock-less desktop while still granting you quick access to apps in the Dock. It does this by adding your Dock and all its icons to the Touch Bar, complete with notification alerts so you never miss updates to your apps. You can even quickly switch between open windows within each app, with previews showing on the Touch Bar.
3-Haptic Touch Bar: A major problem with the Touch Bar is its lack of tactile feedback. it adds haptic feedback to every Touch Bar button, regardless of what mode you’re using it in (from the Function keys to contextual app controls and everything in between). That makes it much easier to use the Touch Bar simply by touch.
4-TouchSwitcher: it makes use of the Touch Bar to offer a much better alternative. Tap the TouchSwitcher icon in the Touch Bar to see the icons of your currently open apps, then just tap one to switch to it. That makes it much quicker than repeatedly tapping Cmd+Tab to get to the app you want.
