Hey people, I wanted to share my Touchbar setup. I have tried GoldenChaos and found it to be very overwhelming. I think the touchbar is most useful when you always know what it will display. For me that’s music controls, and they’re glorious.
Here’s a photo of my touchbar using buttons to trigger specific playlists and of course manage Likes, Playback, Brightness and Volume.
On the right you can see the blue symbol, that’s a custom shortcut to connect to my HomePods
The whole thing is based on just a few BetterTouchTool Triggers and some AppleScripts. Some actions can not be scripted though, for example adding a track to the library or creating a radio station from the current song. That’s where Keyboard Maestro helps me out with some GUI automation.
I have never used the standard Apple touchbar but I love this custom one. Check it out, I have attached the setup for BetterTouchTool and the Keyboard Maestro scripts.
