Touch Bar Simulator

Touch Bar Simulator is a cool tool for those using the latest MacBook Pro models. Instead of the usual function keys, these models come with a Touch Bar that gives you quick access to buttons for your apps.

Accessing the Touch Bar Without a MacBook Pro

If you don’t have a MacBook Pro handy, no worries! You can still check out all the software features by launching the Touch Bar simulator right from Xcode. It’s pretty easy!

A Simple Solution

The Touch Bar Simulator is a great alternative if you want to interact with the Touch Bar without going through the hassle of setting up Xcode. That can take a lot of time and resources, so this app saves you both.

Easy Launch and Features

You can launch the Touch Bar Simulator from almost anywhere on your computer. Plus, it doesn’t depend on Xcode at all! One cool feature is its transparency slider, which lets you adjust how much you see through the bar. There’s also a button to take screenshots!

Taking Screenshots Made Easy

The screenshot button captures what’s currently on your Touch Bar and saves it as a JPG file right to your Desktop. It only grabs the buttons area and skips over any transparency effects.

If you prefer keyboard shortcuts, you can use Command + Shift + 6 to take a screenshot too! And if you want to save it directly to your clipboard instead, just hit Command + Control + Shift + 6.

Testing Apps Without a Device

This simulator is perfect for checking how an app behaves without needing an actual Touch Bar device. You can run tests easily outside of Xcode too, so you're not wasting any system resources.
