MTMR
MTMR is a Mac utility that lets you customize the MacBook Pro Touch Bar with buttons, widgets, gestures, and user-defined layouts.
What is MTMR?
MTMR is a Touch Bar customization utility for MacBook Pro models with a Touch Bar. It helps users replace or extend the default Touch Bar with their own buttons, status items, and controls for common actions such as volume, brightness, time, scripts, and app launching. The app is aimed at people who want a more personalized workflow on macOS, especially users who rely on shortcuts or want quick access to information and commands. MTMR stores its layout in a configurable JSON file, which makes it useful for users who prefer fine-grained control over the Touch Bar setup. It is distributed as a standalone macOS app and is also available through Homebrew for users who manage Mac software from the command line. MTMR is published by Anton Palgunov.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
MTMR is a legitimate customization tool for macOS, but it may request Accessibility access so its Touch Bar controls can trigger system actions and shortcuts. That access is normal for this kind of utility, though users should still grant it only if they intend to use those features. Removing the app will stop its custom Touch Bar layout and any related shortcuts or widgets from working. If you no longer use a Touch Bar Mac or do not want custom controls, it is generally fine to remove.
Recommendation: Keep MTMR if you actively use custom Touch Bar layouts or shortcuts on a Touch Bar MacBook Pro. If you do not use those customizations anymore, you can remove it and also clean up its support files to free a small amount of space.
