What is EdgeBar?

EdgeBar is a macOS menu bar app that turns the edges of a MacBook trackpad into controls. Slide one finger along the right edge to change the volume and along the left edge to adjust display brightness, with the same on-screen display as the keyboard keys and a light haptic tick under the finger.

Beyond the two main edges, the bottom edge works as a media strip to skip tracks or play and pause, a double-tap on the top-right corner mutes audio, and a Corner Action on the top-left corner can trigger play/pause, Mission Control, a screenshot, screen lock or any user-made Shortcut. Only slides that start on the edge count, so scrolling, clicking and gestures keep working, and the pointer can stay frozen while sliding.

Settings include swapping sides, limiting slides to the lower part of the edge, requiring a modifier key, quarter-step fine control, sensitivity and haptic strength, light and dark appearance and launch at login. It also works with a Magic Trackpad and, optionally, a Magic Mouse. EdgeBar is a one-time purchase with free 1.x updates and requires macOS 13 or later.
