EdgeBar

EdgeBar turns the edges of your MacBook trackpad into volume and brightness controls. Slide a finger along the right edge for volume and the left edge for brightness. You get the same on-screen display as the keyboard keys. More than two edges: - Quick Mute: double-tap the top-right corner - Media Strip: swipe the bottom edge to skip, tap to play - Haptic feedback: a light tick under your finger as you slide - Fine control: hold Shift-Option for quarter steps - Cursor freeze: your pointer stays put while you slide - Swap sides, limit slides to the bottom quarter, or require a modifier key Lives in the menu bar. No Dock icon, almost no CPU. $9 one-time purchase (normally $14), free 1.x updates, no subscription. Requires macOS 13 Ventura or later.
