A macOS demo app that displays the Apple Touch Bar on-screen via the Fn-key or on an iPad connected over USB. It lets users try the Touch Bar on Macs without a physical Touch Bar.
Use cases
- preview the macOS touch bar on a mac without one
- show the touch bar on an ipad over usb
- toggle an on-screen touch bar with the fn key
- test touch bar app layouts during development
- sideload a touch bar client app onto an iphone or ipad
When to choose
- you want to try or demo the touch bar on a mac lacking the hardware
- you need a usb-connected ipad as a touch bar display
- you are developing touch bar controls and want a quick preview
When to avoid
- you run a modern macOS version without the required 10.12.1 build 16B2657 touch bar support
- you need an actively maintained or updated tool
- you want a general touch bar customization utility rather than a demo
