Overview
Brink is a free menu bar app that turns the edges of your MacBook trackpad into controls. Slide along the right edge for volume, the left edge for brightness and the top edge for keyboard light. Swipe the bottom edge to skip a track, or double-tap the top-right corner to mute.
It shows the same HUD as the keyboard keys, ticks under your finger with haptic feedback as you slide, and keeps the pointer still while you do it, so a slide never moves your cursor or scrolls the page.
