Touch Bar fans: what would you put on your trackpad edges?

Hey everyone I m Tigran, and I made a little Mac app called EdgeSlide.

I know the Touch Bar had its haters, but I actually missed it when I switched Macs. I liked being able to change the volume without looking for the right key. So I thought, why can t I just do that on the trackpad?

Now I slide a finger along the right edge for volume, use the left for brightness, and tap a corner to mute. All four edges and corners are customizable, so you can do things like switch tabs or skip ahead in a video. The shortcuts can change with the app you re using, too. And because I kept setting off shortcuts with my palm while typing in other apps I tried, I built in protection for that.

I m still figuring out what should be set up by default. What s one thing you do on your Mac all day that you d put on a trackpad edge? And is there an app you d want a preset for?
