EdgeBar transforms your MacBook trackpad into a control surface for volume and brightness. The right edge adjusts volume, while the left handles brightness, with the same on-screen display as keyboard keys. Additional features include Quick Mute by double-tapping the top-right corner and a Media Strip at the bottom edge for media control.

EdgeBar suits Mac users who want quick access to volume and brightness without using keyboard keys. It offers a lifetime license for $5, with free updates within version 1.x. The app runs in the menu bar, using almost no CPU, and requires macOS 13 or later.

EdgeBar does not support older macOS versions before 13.0, and it is not available for Windows users.
