  • MTMR

    🌟 [My TouchBar My rules]. The Touch Bar Customisation App for your MacBook Pro

  • Er sorry, you misunderstand me-- I mean customizable by downloading new software, not by turning the itty bitty knobs they give you out of the box. You know, same as linux! (Unless you're one of the cool people who has written their own window manager, most of us just download that shit and tweak it to our liking)

    Some apps I like

    - Better Touch Tool https://folivora.ai/

    - https://www.raycast.com/

    - MTMR https://mtmr.app/ (admittedly hate the touchbar but hey at least i can tweak it)

    - iTerm is def the best terminal app experience

    - the builtin trackpad is by far the best of any OS (esp boosted by BTT), but for plugged in mice i use https://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/

    I guess that's all of them actually, don't use much more than that.
