Flip Screen

A Touch Bar for your Mac, on the glass.

Lay your touchscreen MacBook Pro flat and it becomes a tabletop.

Pro The Touch Bar comes with Pro. Needs a touchscreen MacBook Pro on macOS 27.

Four pages, a swipe apart.

It sits along the edge nearest you, above the camera. Swipe it to change page. Start typing and it becomes the keyboard's typing bar.

Pro

Write on it.

Handwrite with your finger anywhere on the screen and it's typed into the box you're in. Scribble over a word to delete it. Or switch to Sketch and paste your drawing anywhere.

Writing the word friday by finger on the flat screen; Flip Screen reads it and types it into the note, and the Write bar shows what it read.

Type by touch

Tap a text box and a full-size keyboard slides up, split down the middle with MacBook key spacing and the line you're typing right above it. With Pro you also get word suggestions and autocorrect, and you can hold the space bar to move the cursor like a trackpad.
