Configure the Touch Bar differently with BetterTouchTool

BetterTouchTool is an application that gives us everything that we do not have in the original bar. Some Touch Bar users complain that they cannot find a bar that fits them, other than the volume and brightness control of our Mac. This means that the bar of our MacBook Pro does not allow us to get all the juice for which it was created. With BetterTouchTool, we can customize the general bar or each of the options that we have available in each particular application. With this we will make the most of the functions that our Touch Bar provides us. 

BetterTouchTool fills in some important gaps in the touch bar: option of restricted buttons, applications where the bar is not implemented, absence of tactile feedback… All your wildest dreams in the touch bar, BetterTouchTool makes them possible.

But the application also has a flaw. First of all, their only language today is English. The application is very intuitive, but it doesn't hurt to have it in your language and then you choose how to read it. Secondly, your main virtue can become your main fault. It is totally customizable and therefore somewhat cumbersome at first. Although it has a guide that will be of great help to us.

As I was progressing, the application is very simple. In the left bar, we find the applications, with which we can edit and assign a specific bar. In the central part, we find the buttons that we can activate or deactivate in our personalized bar, for the application with which we are working. And finally, at the bottom, we find the buttons that we can add and edit.

Another function, allows us to create new bars, without counting what is pre-established by Apple or the application itself. These will be added to the left bar. In any case, the results can be checked at the bottom, to decide if they are to our liking.

We can test the application for 45 days and after this period, if we want to purchase it, there is a curious form of payment. The Developer asks us to pay what we value for it, that is, we can buy it from € 4,49 to € 50. However, he recommends us to pay between € 6 and € 10.
