spaniakos

Thanks to the above presets spaniakos preset is an all in one preset solution with different bars embeded into one master.

Media bar: Brightness, mute, volume control, spotify control.
Crypt bar Various Crypto values preset, Some are in $ and some in €
Info: weather info, CPU, disk, Network meter, Bluetooth, DnD (Do not Disturb), Day/Night mode, Countdown timer (tomato) , language selection , battery % date with day, month , time (12H format), AM/PM

@darkomen78

Battery, CPU, Network, (reserved for disk activity), Music Prev, Music Play/Pause, Music Next, Music Track, Sound volume down, Sound slide, Sound volume up, Input language, Screensaver

Only two custom things here (and an icon for the battery) :

CPU button is more based on what you can see in Activity Monitor. You must copy the AppleScript file cpu.scpt to the folder : /Users/Shared/MTMR/
The last button "power lock", simply start the screensaver (and lock the current session). I prefer that than a full sleep or a sleep display. Now, i'm seeking for a disk real-time activity button.

@DanDolog Yandex Music Preset

Widgets:

Telegram, Google Translator, Music Controls, Yandex Music, Currency (RUB to USD), Yandex Weather, CPU, Battery and invisible "Exit MTMR" button

@trumad plexWidget

Pay attention to these variables at the start of the apple script which you'll need to personalise for this to work:

set plexUrl to "YOUR.PLEX.URL.OR.IP.COM" (Your plex URL - domain/IP only, no https:// or port etc)

set plexToken to "YOUR_PLEX_TOKEN" (https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token/)

set playerName to "PLAYER_ID_FOR_COMPUTER_MTMR_IS_USED_ON" (It's important to set a player name so that the currently displayed music is that which is playing on your touchbar mac, not some other device. The player name can be found by visiting http://YOUR_PLEX_URL:32400/status/sessions?X-Plex-Token=YOUR_PLEX_TOKEN in a browser while music is playing. In the "<Player" section of the XML output, look for a "title" attribute which shows the name Plex is giving your computer. Alternatively, in Plex settings view Authorised devices and copy the name from the top of the relevant entry)

Touching the plex display on your touch screen will focus the Plex Media Player app, if you're using it. If you're using plex in a browser, maybe consider installing the app instead.

Hopefully someone finds this useful. If there are any bugs or improvement that can be made to my apple script or anything, please let me know!

@Aarons preset

Main:

DEV group:

The DEV group can be used to start programs used for developing purposes (I might add some stuff there). One could also use it for shortcuts (I prefer to use the Clion and PyCharm native touchbar instead of MTMR)

SONOS group:

The SONOS group leverages the Menu Bar Controller for Sonos to control the volume of my SONOS speakers.

@SonyMiner preset 2021-05-13: Made som changes Moved main bar groups to the right so they are easier to access from the right hand. Also moved to the right all the sub-groups. Also replaced text in the groups for icons.

Home

Dock Page

HomeKit Page

Features

Dock on a separate page
Dedicated HomeKit Page — control your Smart Home from Touch Bar! (requires set up HomeKit controlling Shortcuts, i.e. simple conditional switch on/off).
Active Noise Cancelling control via pressing the Headphones button (works with AirPods Pro or Beats Solo Pro via NoiseBuddy)
Spotify widget — single tap for play/pause, long tap to open Spotify window, plus next track button (prev track button also available, uncomment it in configs to use it). Thanks to @bobrosoft for Spotify script.
Input source icon
MTMR native battery/charging widget
Date & Time widget with two timezones (actually it's two widgets side by side). Set desired timezones in config (by default your computer timezone and Moscow Time). Tap on the first widget opens Calendar, and tap on the second launches the native macOS Countdown Timer through the 'Start Timer' Shortcut.
Keyboard illumination controls
Sound mute button
Show Desktop button — alternative for 'spread with 4 fingers' touchpad gesture and ⌘+F4 shortcuts on non-Touch Bar Macs. Very useful for dragging&dropping files to full-screen apps (Safari, VSCode, Photoshop, etc).

How To

Install NoiseBuddy: https://github.com/insidegui/NoiseBuddy
Install iStats: https://github.com/Chris911/iStats
Create /Users/Shared/MTMR/ older and drop there spotify.scpt
Of course, add items.json as MTMR preset
Set up the NoiseBuddy shortcut on ⌃ ⌥ ⇧ ⌘ + { as shown here. The main idea is to use a hotkey you won't definitely ever need. If you want to change it, don't forget to tweak it in preset as well.
To use the Timer function, you need to add Start Timer Shortcut to your Shortcuts by launching it.
