BetterTouchTool helps you customize and fine-tune your Mac’s input flow. These include keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, Touch Bar widgets, remote triggers, and more. More than just a central hub for these functions, this app extends the native capabilities of your Mac, allowing you to create the most comfortable workspace.
Key features of BetterTouchTool
Use all input devices
The most unique feature of BetterTouchTool is its extensive list of controlled input devices. To precisely execute the desired actions, you can use trackpads, Magic Mouse, traditional mice, keyboards, the Touch Bar, iPhones or iPads (with the BTT Remote app), as well as Siri and Apple remotes.
Customize the Touch Bar
BetterTouchTool allows you to redesign the Touch Bar, creating the look you want. Your Touch Bar can include special triggers that perfectly suit your workflow: from adjusting existing settings to creating new function keys, and even defining the space between Touch Bar elements.
Create any keyboard shortcut
Say goodbye to Command + C! The limited number of shortcuts you use every day slows down your productivity. With BetterTouchTool, you can not only save new, extended keyboard shortcuts for any device, but you can also create unique combinations, actions, gestures, and even drawings to replace the default options.
App-specific
Sometimes, you want to use different keyboard shortcuts in different apps. BetterTouchTool is perfect for that. For each shortcut you create, you can specify which apps it applies to and which ones it should be disabled. This gives you many options for redefining keyboard functionality in specific applications.
Save to Clipboard Manager
Beyond simply replacing existing shortcuts with new ones, BTT also offers access to advanced features like a built-in clipboard manager that lets you copy multiple items at once and a powerful screenshot tool that lets you adjust images instantly. These features are at least two apps that do not require additional installation.
Create Your Own Widgets
If you are proficient with AppleScript, custom URL schemes, and manipulating web servers with HTTP requests, you can leverage these skills in BetterTouchTool to create your own Touch Bar widgets. Popular examples include cryptocurrency trackers, weather forecasts, and stock price charts.
