Apple's latest hardware update to the MacBook Pro includes a completely new strip of technology called the Touch Bar. It allows you to access controls for your Mac's system, as well as different controls for the apps you use. We dug deep to find out everything we could about what you can do with the Touch Bar in different built-in and third-party apps. Here's everything we know about what you can do with the Touch Bar in different apps so far.
This list will be updated as we find out more, so bookmark it and come back often.
The Control Strip
The Control Strip, which sits on the right side of the Touch Bar, is fully customizable. You can remove controls from the panel or hide it completely. When the Control Strip is hidden, only app controls are visible. In the reverse, you can hide the app control panel, in which case the Control Strip will stretch out across the Touch Bar. Apps will have different configuration options. Some will allow you to customize the app controls. Others may not. It depends on what the developer decides to do with it.
So far, we know that the Control Strip performs the following functions:
- Hold down the fn key on your keyboard to turn the Touch Bar into traditional function keys F1 - F12.
- Siri
- Notification Center
- Do Not Disturb
- Screenshot
- Dictation
- Input Sources
- Show Desktop
- Screensaver
- Screen Lock
- Sleep
Primary system controls
Within the secondary menu of the Control Strip sits your primary system controls. The primary system controls include:
- Screen brightness
- Keyboard brightness
- Playback controls (rewind, fast forward, and play/pause)
- Volume controls (increase, decrease, and mute)
Touch ID
The Touch ID sensor is actually connected to the Power button, which sits to the far right of the Touch Bar, but it is, in fact, part of the Touch Bar. Touch ID on the Mac features a T1 Secure Enclave, which encrypts your fingerprint for more security and keeps it offline. Here are the functions of Touch ID:
- Use Touch ID to log in
- Use Touch ID to switch user accounts (supports multiple fingerprint identities)
- Apple Pay on the Web with Touch ID
Quick Type
Similar to the way suggestive type works on the iPhone and iPad, Quick Type will suggest words depending on what you are currently writing. It is contextual, so it will do things like look up contacts when you are in the CC field of an email. It has the following functions:
- Predictive type
- Emoji suggestions (in Messages)
- Contacts suggestions (email, phone #, etc.)
Finder
Finder is a one-stop shop for practically everything you keep on your Mac, and the Touch Bar is a one-stop shop for practically every function that the Finder has. Here are all of the functions that the Touch Bar can do when you are using Finder:
- Share
- View (icons, list, columns, and cover flow)
- New Folder
- Back/Forward
- View Options
- Quick Look
- New Folder with Selections
- New Window
- New tab
- Move to trash
- Connect to server
- Open With…
- Go to…
- Move to
- Copy to
- Get info
Facetime

When you receive a FaceTime call, you can use the Touch Bar to quickly accept or decline a call, simply by tapping a control on the panel.

Photos
The Photos app has plenty of functionality, and thanks to the Touch Bar, you can access that functionality much more easily. You can view photos and videos, edit images, and more. Here are the functions of Photos on the Touch Bar
![Pro touch gold Pro touch gold](https://image.midifan.com/data/attach/album/2017/0327/7930_1490620030.jpg)

- Timeline Scrubbing
- Audio editing (volume, effects)
- Video Trimming
- Create and assign roles
- Drag to reorganize roles
- Playback controls
Photoshop
Adobe is jumping on the Touch Bar bandwagon with an upcoming update to its most popular photo-editing program. The Touch Bar brings out functions that are normally buried under settings in the Photoshop app. Here are the functions:
- Blending options
- Select and Mask
- Resize
- Layers
- Full screen mode
- Brush control
- Change blend mode

Algoriddim will be adding Touch Bar support for its music mixing app. With it, you can pretty much just use the OLED panel on the Mac as your turntable. Here are just some of the functions available using the Touch Bar with djay Pro:
- Effects
- Sampler
- Filters
- Scratch
- Find queue points using Wave
- Synth pads
- Sync tracks
- Loop

Messages
Of course, since Apple updated Messages in iOS, it only makes sense that they would make sure the Touch Bar worked with the Mac Messages app. In addition to Quick Type suggestions, you can really express yourself. Here are the functions of the Touch Bar in Messages:
- Emoji (organized by categories)
- Emoji suggestions
- Predictive text/text suggestions
- Tapbacks for bubble effects
Pro Touch Cranford
Getting to inbox zero is going to be a much more pleasant experience when you can tap to triage your most important emails. With the Touch Bar in the built-in Mail app on Mac, you'll be tapping your way through all of those unread emails in no time at all. Use the Touch Bar with these functions:
- Reply
- Write new mail
- Emoji (including categories)
- Predictive text/text suggestions
- Text Formatting (Bold, Italics, Underline)
- Copy
- Paste
- Contact suggestions
- Compose Message
- Flag email
- Move To…
- Archive message
- Send

When you use the Touch Bar with Safari, navigating the internet will only be bothersome because you are overloaded with too much information. Touch Bar navigation features make browsing the net a downright pleasant experience. Here's why:
- Bookmarks/recently visited
- New Window
- New Tab
- Scrubbing through tabs
Calendar
I know we have Siri now to set up appointments and check our daily schedule, but the virtual assistant now has to compete with the tactile joy of the Touch Bar. Here's what you can do with it:
- Add new event
- Accept an invite
- Add Time
- Add location
- Scroll through events by day
This list will be updated as we find out more, so bookmark it and come back often.
Siri
Serato Dj Pro Touch Bar
Siri still does just what she always does, but now there's a dedicated Siri button right on the Touch Bar. macOS Sierra brought Siri to the Mac — now the new MacBook brings Siri to the Touch Bar.
Stay tuned
There are likely many more Touch Bar functions that'll show themselves once we get more hands-on time with the new MacBook Pro, so bookmark this page and check back for updates!

? ❤️Apple reminds us all that 'creativity goes on' in new YouTube video
Apple's latest YouTube video knows just how to tug at the heartstrings.
Algoriddim's djay Pro for Mac received a major update today, introducing a range of new features for both hobbyists and professional DJs.
Pro Touch Gold
Through a partnership with Pioneer DJ, djay Pro is now officially certified to work with hardware like the CDJ-200NXS2 and the TOUR1, equipment widely used by professionals.
Seamless plug-and-play integration adds support for Pioneer DJ's DJ Link technology, allowing users to connect up to four CDJs with their Pioneer mixer using a single USB cable through the new LAN Link feature. It's a much simpler setup, and allows for access to full Spotify and iTunes catalogs from the CDJ screens.
'djay Pro is the most modern way to DJ on your Mac,' said Karim Morsy, CEO of Algoriddim. 'This new version adds a host of new features for live performance, music discovery, and preparation. It combines the best of both worlds, content discovery via Spotify and hardware access through Pioneer DJ's state-of-the-art CDJ setups.'
Touch Bar integration has been improved in the new version of djay Pro, adding the ability to manipulate two decks simultaneously, manually select the active deck, and navigate the library to preview and prepare songs. Other Touch Bar features that were added in a previous update let users scratch and slice tracks, apply filters and effects in realtime, and trigger audio samples. Scratch a living synonym dictionary.
djay Pro has long offered Spotify integration, but with the new update, there is improved access to the Spotify Browse feature, letting DJs quickly and easily discover new music based on mood, genre, and popularity.
Today's djay Pro update is free for all customers who own a copy of the software.
djay Pro for Mac can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $49.99. [Direct Link]
