Supercharge your Mac's Touch Bar

EnergyBar replaces your Mac's Touch Bar with a collection of widgets, such as a Dock or a "Now Playing" widget. The goal of EnergyBar is to maximize the Touch Bar's usability, while minimizing some of its flaws such as inadvertent tapping.

Dock

The default placement of EnergyBar widgets allows for consistency and memorization of your Touch Bar use. The areas around the Esc key and above the Delete key have been kept non-functional to alleviate the problem of inadvertent tapping. At the same time EnergyBar allows for customization so that you only have your favorite widgets visible.

Widgets

  • Dock
  • Active App
  • Now Playing
  • Control
  • Clock
  • Esc Key

Changes since version 1.0

  • Dock widget improvements:
    • The Dock can now display both applications and folders similar to the system Dock. Applications are on the left of the separator, folder are on the right.
    • A configuration item to hide the Trash has been added.
    • A configuration item to hide the running applications has been added.
  • The Control widget brightness and volume buttons now support press and hold functionality. Try it and find out. (Exercise caution when changing settings; a small movement of your finger translates to a large setting change.)
  • alt+cmd+esc now opens the "Force Quit" window.
  • Display-only widgets are now visible during customization and can easily be grabbed.
