## About

EdgeBar turns the edges of a MacBook trackpad into controls for volume and brightness. Volume sits on the right and brightness on the left, with the same on-screen display used by the keyboard keys.

The menu bar app also supports quick mute, media controls, haptic feedback, fine quarter-step adjustments, cursor freezing, and optional bottom-quarter tracking. It runs without a Dock icon and requires Accessibility access for trackpad gestures.
