# My touchbar. My rules. [](https://github.com/Toxblh/MTMR/releases) [](https://github.com/Toxblh/MTMR/blob/master/LICENSE) 
_The TouchBar Customization App for your MacBook Pro_
My idea is to create a platform for creating plugins to customize the TouchBar. I very much like BTT and having a full custom TouchBar (my BTT preset), and I wanted to create it. It's my first Swift project for MacOS :)
**Share your presets [here](https://github.com/Toxblh/MTMR-presets)**

Telegram
## Installation
- Download lastest [release](https://github.com/Toxblh/MTMR/releases) (.dmg) from github
- Or via Homebrew `brew cask install mtmr`
- [Dario Prski](https://medium.com/@urdigitalpulse) has written a [fantastic article on medium](https://medium.com/@urdigitalpulse/customise-your-macbook-pro-touch-bar-966998e606b5) that goes into more detail on installing MTMR
**On first install** you need to allow access for MTMR in Accessibility otherwise buttons like Esc, Volume, Brightness and other system keys won't work
🍏→ System Preferences → Security and Privacy → tab Privacy → Accessibility → MTMR
## Examples
- [@Toxblh preset](Resources/toxblh.json)
- [@ReDetection preset](Resources/ReDetection.json)
- [@luongvo209 preset](Resources/luongvo209.json)
- [aadi_vs_anand preset](Resources/aadi_vs_anand.json)

MTMR preferences are stored under `~/Library/Application\ Support/MTMR/items.json`.
The pre-installed configuration contains less or more than you'll probably want, try to configure:
