BetterTouchTool Review

We discussed this application when we compiled a list of the top macOS automation apps available. However, a product such as BetterTouchTool merits a great deal more consideration. Now, the improved version known as BetterTouchTool 3 is available to our great relief.

Concerning the Bettertouchtool

BetterTouchTool is an innovative approach to automating your Mac that gives you precise control over your input devices. These input devices include the mouse, trackpad, touch bar, gestures, and so on.

In actual use, however, BetterTouchTool is capable of much more. It gives you the ability to pick and choose from various triggers and actions. This combination does not necessarily need to be tied to the keyboard or the mouse. First, let's look at the most significant new feature that BetterTouchTool 3 has to offer.

An All-New User Interface

One of the most significant issues with BetterTouchTool was that it featured a user interface that might be described as being rather difficult. BetterTouchTool was, without a doubt, a tool that could be used, but the customization options were quite limited. Even a pro at using macOS would need more practice to become proficient using BetterTouchTool.

(Old UI)

You may get an idea of how complicated the previous user interface was by looking at the screenshot just above this one. There is a greater likelihood of being disoriented in the intricacy than quickly setting up automation. It would seem that BetterTouchTool 3 resolves this issue. It does this by presenting a completely redesigned User Interface.

(New UI)

BetterTouchTool 3 has an incredibly user-friendly and pleasant user interface (UI). BetterTouchTool 3 is user-friendly, so you won't have any trouble learning how to use it even if you have never used any other automation tool for macOS.

Other Adaptations

Regarding BetterTouchTool 3, the redesigned user interface is the one that steals the show. There are a few more aspects that are noteworthy. MIDI device support has been added to BetterTouchTool 3 recently. The developer has included support for more complex MIDI features in the most current iteration of their software. The use of iCloud Drive is one of the various alternatives for syncing. If you want to have the best possible experience with Apple's ecosystem, you will have the option of using iCloud. – The user interface (UI) has, as expected, undergone a few rounds of bug repairs and minor alterations.

An Overview of BetterTouchTool 3

Are you curious about how easy it is to automate tasks using BetterTouchTool 3? Please keep reading to learn about our first-hand experience with the product.

Getting Started

This automation tool for macOS has recently undergone a complete redesign of its User Interface, making it significantly simpler to operate than before.

The Ultimate in Customization

You are aware that BetterTouchTool 3 provides the highest level of customization available across the board. One of the reasons why the tool needs to have administrative privileges to operate on your computer is because of this. Since we can't cover everything at once, we will only focus on the most critical aspects.

Actions That Can Be Customized

You can customize and configure BetterTouchTool 3 in a manner that is dependent upon the action you have selected. Let's look at the screenshot profile we created, for example. As you can see in the following image, the configure tab allows me to personalize the screenshot function's operation fully.

Personalization of Your Various Input Devices

It is said that Apple manufactures input devices that provide the highest level of ease. On the other hand, you could find it necessary to make a few adjustments of your own. For instance, you may wish to personalize the tracking speed of the trackpad as well as the amount of pressure that needs to be applied to make sure clicks. BetterTouchTool 3 offers access to everything, which is a fortunate development.

Window Snapping

The ability to snap windows together is one of the most valuable features we have discovered in BetterTouchTool. And it is worthy of being brought up on its own. You can arrange multiple windows on your desktop very effectively using this method. You are aware that the macOS operating system does not come equipped with a window snapping feature by default. BetterTouchTool 3, on the other hand, accomplishes this by resizing and rearranging your windows in an automated fashion.

Controls on the Touch Bar

The default MacBook Pro TouchBar requires some level of control from you to function correctly. However, this is now feasible with BetterTouchTool 3. You have a specialized control panel for the Apple Touch Bar, as seen in the following image. You can alter the appearance as well as the functionality of your Touch Bar here. In addition, if you are interested, you may investigate the more complex alternatives.

Pricing

Only macOS users may get their hands on BetterTouchTool 3 for now. The developer considers the users' feedback to be a kind and thoughtful individual. For instance, if you cannot find a feature in BetterTouchTool 3, you can request it, and he will probably include it in the next release.
