When Apple announced it line of new MacBooks last month, it positioned the TouchBar as its primary selling point. But it’s up to app makers and developers to actually find a useful way to implement the long slender touchscreen. 

One developer did just that, but his creation doesn’t enhance any apps or make the MacBook any more useful; it simply adds a great deal of charm to the device. Instead of populating the TouchBar with links or shortcuts to various features, the bar is completely taken over by a colorful, animate Nyan Cat.

The creator, Vatsaev Aslan, has uploaded the code to GitHub, so anyone with a new MacBook Pro can give their new, pricey notebook some adorable flair.
