Pock is a free, open-source macOS application that turns the MacBook Touch Bar into a customizable widget manager, showing things like the Dock, media controls, system status, and weather. It includes PockKit, a framework for developers to build custom widgets.

Use cases

  • display the macOS Dock in the Touch Bar to free up screen space
  • control music playback with gestures from the Touch Bar
  • monitor battery, WiFi, and time in the Touch Bar
  • adjust brightness and volume via a Control Center widget
  • show weather forecast in the Touch Bar
  • build custom Touch Bar widgets with PockKit

When to choose

  • you have a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar and want to maximize screen real estate
  • you want quick access to Dock notifications, media controls, or system info without leaving your app
  • you want an extensible, open-source Touch Bar manager with a widget SDK

When to avoid

  • your Mac has no Touch Bar (Touch Bar was discontinued after 2021 models)
  • you need actively maintained software with recent updates
  • you are unwilling to grant Accessibility or Screen Recording permissions
