MTMR
MTMR is a MacBook Touch Bar customizer that replaces the default interface with personalized buttons and layouts to trigger macOS system actions. It serves as an automation interface and hardware controller, allowing users to execute shell scripts, open URLs, and manage system settings like brightness, volume, and media playback through a touch-sensitive surface.
The project functions as a widget engine and gesture mapper, providing a framework to display real-time system metrics and external data via plugins. It utilizes an event-driven system to assign automation scripts to multi-finger swipe events on the touch interface.
The interface is organized via a three-zone layout system that supports custom button configurations, grouped elements, and integrated widgets for calendar events, weather, and currency rates. It also includes tools for monitoring hardware performance, such as CPU load and battery status, and manages productivity timers and application shortcuts.
