Handy tool :) That logo is very close to Patreon's, though :P

@andrewdavidj yes, definitely looks identical to Patreon ‘s at least at first glance

thanks for hunting! downloaded installed.. great little addition and actually makes the touch bar useful. shows your dock (scrollable if you have a lot of items on it) - apps and stacks as well as trash. indicators show which app is running and the foreground app is highlighted. keeps the dock on the TB even with other apps are in focus though, so keep that in mind. you can hide it by taping the (X) and it'll slide away to the control strip. i do notice intermittent high CPU usage and lagging especially when it starts up and when sliding to get to either end of the touch-bar-dock . maybe they'll be addressed in an update.

Downloaded, it asked for security and privacy privileges, allowed, tried to open, didn't work, deleted.

@_joemclean Its goes and sits in your menubar. Yes there was no indication of that, took me a min to see that
Joe McLean
@abhilash_kv I saw it blink in the top menu bar and then disappeared.

@_joemclean I had the same issue and it was caused by dock spacers. I removed those spaces and it worked.

My new process : Hide the dock forever, only use the touch bar. It's golden, finally saving some screen space, and its' way faster to change between apps. How to improve it : those little red notifications icons deserve a number inside (like 9 or 9+ if there's too much)

Really well done! I only have an issue with "Esc" and the "X". They are confusing. I think their position should be swapped.

@dark333r Good point.

I don’t have a MacBook with the Touch Bar but this sounds like the only good use of it!
Jorge Dieguez
Why didn't Apple thing of this??? This means more screen... I always felt I wasted screen space by having the dock displayed. This is awesome! Honestly, if it were paid, I would've paid for it. Thanks!

@jorge_dieguez Just download BetterTouchTool and you can customize the entire dock on your own

Can you get the whole screen in touch bar and dock in screen. So we have a touch screen?
