You get the basic functionality in the free version, but if you’re planning to make BTT Remote part of your workflow, it’s worth upgrading.īTT Remote includes a trackpad, file browser, media keys and access to the menubar so you can directly control a Mac from the app, however, that’s not it’s true power. It’s free in the iOS App Store, although there’s a $3.99 in-app purchase to unlock all the features. The BetterTouchTool Remote app or BTT Remote is an iOS app that allows you to remotely control a Mac as long as you’re on the same Wi-Fi network. In this tutorial, however, I'll show you a different way to control a Mac using BetterTouchTool: with the BetterTouchTool Remote app for iOS. Instead of relying on developers to implement the features you want, you can add almost anything to a Touch Bar and have it accessible where ever you want. A three-finger swipe down closes one.Īnother great use is to make custom Touch Bars on one of the new MacBook Pros. A three-finger swipe up with Safari open on my MacBook creates a new tab. While it’s not as powerful at pure automation as something like Keyboard Maestro, with BetterTouchTool you can control a Mac in many different ways.įor example, one of my favourite ways to use it is to create custom multitouch gestures on for the Trackpad. Edit2: found out it can also replace bartender so added it.BetterTouchTool is one of the most useful macOS automation apps.

For this price and the lengthy trial period, it's one of my most recommended app. The possibilities are quite-literally endless. Swipe left to split screen and tile left, same with right.

I mimic iPadOS' SlideOver feature using swipe right from left side of the trackpad and map it to a shortcut of Tuck (another great app highly recommended if you like to multitask).įour-finger tap to quickly go back to previous app (map to command+tab)įorce-click three finger and swipe up to go into fullscreen. I mimic iPadOS' copy-paste gesture with the 3-finger pinch in and out. Double tap with four fingers to hide application (map with command+H) Double tap with three fingers to bring up screenshot to OCR (using OwlOCR, free highly recommended alternative to TextSniper)įorce-click with four fingers to quit application (map with command+Q). You first have to map the shortcut 'Show Start Page' with a keyboard shortcut, then map the trackpad gesture to the keyboard shortcut.įorce-click with three fingers to trigger bring up screenshot region. I swipe down with two fingers from top of the trackpad to bring safari to start page. I use three-finger swipes to navigate tabs by mapping ctrl+tab(+shift). So you can do it like me which is double-click menu bar, set action to hide menu bar items to left, delay next action (I use 10s), then repeat the action to auto-hide it.įinally, these are how I use the gesture for my trackpad: Replacement for Bartender: BTT has an action for hiding the menu bar item to its left and there's a convenient trigger by double-clicking the menu bar.

I also use keyboard shortcuts to launch specific folders in finder, apps, map to app-specific shortcuts, etc.

I have a Galaxy buds and Bluetooth Speaker so I can use keyboard shortcut to toggle between each device. Powerful keyboard shortcuts: one notable feature is connecting to a bluetooth device. You can also use keyboard shortcuts and link it to window snapping (e.g. Window-snapping: you can replace 'Magnets (paid)' or 'Rectangle (free)' with the BTT's built-in snap areas in which you can control which area of the screen will trigger a snapping. It replaced 'CopyLess 2' (which is amazing in its own right). It's quite customizable and feature-rich, and has everything I want in a clipboard manager. First I'll talk about the use cases in addition to controlling the trackpad and mouse gestures because they're less known.Ĭlipboard manager: you can use keyboard shortcut (or any trigger) and choose the built-in BTT clipboard manager.
