![]() In the following video, I briefly walk through the setup of a custom Touch Bar button that invokes Alfred to perform a site search on the contents of 9to5Mac. Not only can you use these buttons to perform basic to complex actions on your Mac, you can also control the look of the button, including its name, color, and corresponding icon. With the alpha release of BetterTouchTool, users can create their own custom Touch Bar buttons with custom actions. Of course, the big news here is the implementation of Touch Bar support for the MacBook Pro. If you want to supercharge the basic gesture controls that Apple provides in macOS’ System Preferences, then you should definitely take BetterTouchTool for a spin. These actions are executed using gestures on input devices like the trackpad, mouse, keyboard, and most recently, the Touch Bar. Have a look at our brief video walkthrough inside to see the customizable Touch Bar controls in action.īetterTouchTool is an insanely deep utility, as it allows users to execute all sorts of custom actions. What I found was a seriously impressive tool that will allow users to have a ridiculous amount of fine-grained control at their fingertips. Being an alpha release, you can expect to find bugs, but I decided to go hands-on with the update to see how the Touch Bar implementation worked. You said in a previous post that my mac was probably struggling as (without me knowing) it was running an old version of VirtualBox in the background.As Chance noted last night, an alpha version of BetterTouchTool was released yesterday with support for the MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar. Is there anything else on that EtreCheck I should change? Any other things I should remove to improve Mac performance? VirtualBox is completely gone now - Was that supposed to lower my RAM? It's still around 40% with no apps open (ATM 70% with 2 safari tabs and finder). ![]() _ist (Not signed - installed )Įxecutable: /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/_helper ![]() I also found this (which came with VirtualBox) which I got rid of just now: I've now binned the aerial companion file and another file which shouldn't have been there. Could I use that or would I need to format the drive first? If, so I wouldn't be willing to do that, and I don't have any other drives. My hard drive with my photos, documents and logic files on it has 1TB (definitely enough). I apologise if I'm causing any inconvenience to you, I'm just trying to make the best of my mac and make sure it hasn't got unnecessary stuff on it :) Download Uninstall previous versions of Daily Tools & Update BetterTouchTool to Latest version before installation. If that's the case, I'd like to remove it. Some features might not work on new Apple Silicon devices. Applications/Aerial Companion.app is related to it. I don't know how to keep that local (I'm not all too tech savvy in case you couldn't tell □).ĪerialCompanion was a 3rd party screensaver I downloaded, but I thought I removed it as it doesn't appear in my screensaver library anymore. As far as I know, I only use dictation for a single shortcut (use it for nothing else) and Siri. I don't fully understand what you means when you say I'm running lots of speech intensive stuff. I'm aware of BetterTouchTools intense CPU and RAM usage, though I would like to keep it. I don't know what LaunchAltLogin is, how do I remove it? Though, I could remove pock and speedtest. I'd like to keep Hand Mirror, Macs Fan Control, Hidden Bar, Rectangle (I presume that' the same as rectangle launcher) as I use them all on a daily basis. Would you happen to know where I can find it, I'd definitely like to remove it since I don't remember the last time I used it. I installed virtual box when downloading blue stacks emulator like 2 years ago, I thought I uninstalled both of them around a year and a half ago, as when I search Virtualbox in finder, nothing comes up. Thank you very much for reviewing this :) changing settings to keep that local might improve overall performance.īetter TouchTool has TWO processes is in the top 6 of Energy usage You are using a lot of network resource running speech recognition. You are still running something CPU top six in Terminal under bash, while macOS generally has moved on to zsh. ![]() If short of RAM, having add-ons like aerial companion does not make sense.ĭitto rectangle-launcher - consider using Misson Control and 'Spaces'ĭitto speedtest helper, use Terminal command networkqualityīettertouchTool ends up showing in the top 6 in both CPU and RAM memory. if not actively using it, you should consider removing it. In my opinion, you do not have enough RAM in your machine to run ANYTHING else while VirtualBox is open. ![]() current version is 7.0.8, or 6.1.44 is staying on the old version 6 track that EXPIRES at the end of this year. ![]()
