These 11 Touch Bar hacks will turn your MacBook Pro into a legendary machine

The new MacBook Pro Touch Bar is here, so it's time to say goodbye to productivity.

From composing catchy tunes to playing games or making fart noises, Apple's latest MacBook Pro feature has inspired a slew of quirky apps and hacks that you'll want to try out.

We're not saying they're all useful, but there's no denying they're entertaining AF.

Here are some of our personal favorites:

TouchSwitcher and Rocket

These apps are extremely helpful and make great use of the Touch Bar. After launching TouchSwitcher you'll be able to easily access and switch between all open applications on your MacBook without having to individually cycle through them.

Long gone are the days of wasting time looking for apps on your dock.

Similarly, Rocket allows you to switch between apps quickly, but lets you launch any app on your MacBook Pro’s dock, not just the ones in use. You can also use Rocket anytime, anywhere on your Mac, since it's a standalone menu bar app. This means you're not just confined to your touch bar.

Doom

Yes, the new Touch Bar runs Doom! Facebook iOS engineer Adam Bell brought the game that's been played everywhere from an early 2000s digital camera to an old Nokia phone, to the Touch Bar to prove you can play yet another squished little version of the classic game.

Bell configured the Touch Bar so it would display his health, ammo, weapons and other stats while the game itself appeared on the laptop's main screen.

I mean, it's obviously not an ideal setup, but hey, it works.

Nyan Cat

If nothing else, at least buy a new MacBook Pro to watch that adorable, rainbow-loving Nyan Cat fly across your Touch Bar. Using code posted to GitHub by Vatsaev Aslan, you can have one of the internet's favorite memes by your side to lighten the mood while you work.

KnightTouchBar 2000

Who wouldn't want to turn their MacBook Pro into Kitt from Knight Rider? With the KnightTouchBar 2000 from GitHub, you can zone out to the repeating Knight Rider theme song (this could get super irritating) while watching your Touch Bar mimic the illuminated front of everyone's favorite Pontiac Trans Am.

Touch Bar Piano

Thanks to app developer, Graham Parks, your fingers can easily take a break from typing on laptop keys to tickle some virtual ivory keys.

With 128 different instruments, such as drums, strings and even choir "aahs" at your fingertips, Touch Bar Piano allows you to master the art of playing music on your Mac.

Pac-Man PacBar

Celebrate your love for 80s arcade games by bringing the beloved Pac-Man to your MacBook Pro Touch Bar. "PacBar," as it's called, lets you use your laptop's arrow keys to move a little tiny Pac-Man left, right, up and down to escape ghosts. It's available for free download on GitHub and the joy and nostalgia it will bring you is also priceless.

Lemmings

iOS engineer and app designer, Erik Olsson, is throwing it back to the 90s by allowing you to transform your Touch Bar into a stage for some cute little green-haired lemmings to walk across.

With this perfect merger of 90s simplicity and modern day tech you can let the lemmings strut their stuff across the length of your laptop or stop them in their tracks with a simple tap.

Be sure you have some bumpin' Lemmings music playing in the background.

TouchBarDino

Pac-Man and Lemmings might be old-school but if you truly want to travel back to rudimentary graphics and utility, we suggest TouchBarDino. Guide your tiny little dino to safety by tapping on the screen by tapping on the screen to hop over cacti, but be warned, it's quite addictive.

TouchBar Santa

'Tis the season for Santa to grace your Touch Bar, falalalala la la la la. Perfect for the holidays, TouchBar Santa, available on GitHub, will have jolly old Saint Nick scampering across your laptop in his classic red suit.

What better way to get in the Christmas spirit while you're doing your last minute online shopping?

TouchFart

You've heard of "touch to start" and now there's "touch to fart."

After you drop thousands on a new laptop, you deserve to act a little immature. TouchFart is here to help. The downright dumb app, available on GitHub, serves as a modern day whoopee cushion for Apple lovers. Thanks to two fart-related emoji (💩 and 💨 ) that will appear on your Touch Bar, you can prank friends with mortifying sounds at the push of a button.

Happy hacking and don't forget to use your Touch Bar to the fullest.
