BetterTouchTool
BTT is at the core of how I interact with macOS. Most of the gestures and shortcuts I use are handled by this application. It also controls the touchbar and a stream deck where those are available.
My favorite preset used to be AquaTouch, which is sadly not being actively maintained anymore.
Instead, I have created my own customizations, inspired by AquaTouch: HydroTouch
