Get the Touchbar on Any Mac

in tech •  7 years ago 

You can get a touchbar on any Mac. While it isn't touch and its on your screen, it has all the same features and works just like the real touchbar. I have the 13 inch Macbook Pro without touchbar and this is how to do it.

Step 1: Install XCode

Xcode is the IDE by apple for apple products. Just search the app store and downlad it.

Step 5: Thats it, you have the touch bar on the screen. As long as you don't quit out of xcode, it will stay on the screen. You can position it anywhere you want

This is a good way to see whether or not you will like the new touchbar and if the touchbar is for you. As long as you have a Mac that can install Xcode 9.1, you can get this. Good luck.
