Here, you can configure a toggle shortcut for the Touché interface, mess around with some screenshot settings, and enable automatic updates so the developer can alert you of updates for the app whenever they’re available. This brings up the following preferences pane: To do that, you’ll go to Touché → Preferences in the Menu Bar: You can also configure a few options for Touché. You can click and drag on anything from the Touché interface, and it will perform just like it would if you were using the actual Touch Bar on the 2016 MacBook Pro. By pressing and holding on the fn key on your keyboard, Touché’s interface becomes a row of function keys. Those include shortcuts to Exposé, Mission Control, display brightness settings, and volume settings, among others. Whenever you’re not in an app, Touché is going to show basic buttons that look like the top of your current Mac’s keyboard. As you probably guessed, Touché will work with those apps as well.
Touche bar update#
Third-party app support will come on an app-by-app basis as developers update their apps to support the Touch Bar. For example, in the Mail app you’ll find email related shortcuts, in the Messages app you’ll find iMessage and Emoji related shortcuts, and in Safari, you’ll find a URL bar with web browsing shortcuts. Right now, it supports most of Apple’s stock apps out of the box, including Mail, Messages, and Safari just to name a few. Just like the actual Touch Bar on the higher end 2016 MacBook Pro, the Touch Bar simulator responds to different apps by transforming its interface to match actions you can perform in said app. Putting Touché in your Applications folder is optional, but when you’re ready to try the Touch Bar on your Mac, simply double-click on the Touché app, and this will launch the Touch Bar simulator:

Touche bar upgrade#
If you have macOS 10.12.1 build 16B2555, then you’ll have to upgrade your version of macOS by downloading it from Apple’s website and going through the installation process manually. Just like the other method, Touché requires macOS 10.12.1 build 16B2657. Last week we showed you a way to simulate the Touch Bar experience with a third-party app that utilizes the resources already in macOS, and now, another app called Touché is bringing a cleaner implementation of the Touch Bar simulator to all Macs. The Touch Bar is an exciting new feature that comes with the higher end MacBook Pro Apple unveiled last month, but you don’t have to buy a new MacBook Pro to experiment with the Touch Bar resources that come baked into macOS on every Mac.
