I recently got into macOS development [0] and Swift, and I'm currently working on an app where I want to support the Touch Bar. I don't have the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, so I was stuck with having to launch the simulator from inside Xcode. I built this app to make it easier to code and design for the Touch Bar. Not everyone has or even wants Xcode ins… See more

Works very well! Especially with an external monitor, dock on one screen, touch bar on the other!

This standalone build of the Touch Bar Simulator is a really welcome addition. Using, trying, and developing with the Touch Bar now is within everybody's reach! #sharingiscaring

The screenshot icon takes the screenshot of touchbar itself.  See more

@sindresorhus @arunpattnaik to open facetime or screenshot?

@thisdickie @sindresorhus The icon made me think it'll open photo booth. Screenshot-ing the touchbar didn't intuitively cross my mind. But then I'm not a developer, so it could be just me.

@sindresorhus @arunpattnaik I think maybe you're thinking that that button is on a real touch bar as well...it's not...that's just for this app to grab a screenshot of the touch bar. (There is a screenshot button you can add to the system button area, but that's another story).

That's a very good alternative to buying a new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar 😂

@lisadziuba haha this was actually my situation. i was considering getting the new MBP after the superb Apple marketing videos... but after trying the touch bar in Duet Display, it was easy to see the touch bar wasn't for me. saved $1990.00 :)

Looks great! QAs and Designers could use this simulator to test Touch Bar support without installing Xcode and stuff. Screenshot button also would be useful for them 😉 Well done!

@sindresorhus I'm a big fan of the simplicity of your first mac app, Battery Indicator. Looks like you're getting into mac dev deeply!! I'm curious about the mindset behind these apps

@tchret I'm starting out by solving my own problems. Both Battery Indicator and the next app I'm working on, are apps I really want to use myself. I approach app development by thinking - How simple can I make this app while still solving the 95% use-case? I deliberately try to have as few settings as possible, as most users just want a great experience than… See more

This is super cool! It even automatically adjust buttons after I opened Sketch 3. Two suggestions: 1) Allow user to pin the touch bar on the bottom of screen. 2) Allow user to enable the touch bar take up full width of the screen.

for Macbook pro touchbar users - you can already take a screenshot of the touchbar by using the built in keyboard shortcut CMD+SHIFT+6
