I'd like to suggest a simple feature to make the BetterTouchTool Configuration interface cleaner and easier to navigate.

It would be great to have an option to hide Settings sections and features that we don't use or are just not compatible with our Mac/devices.

For example:

- Hide Touch Bar settings if the Mac doesn't have a Touch Bar.
- Hide Notch Bar settings since are deprecated or if the Mac does not support them.
- Hide Siri Remote since I don't have one.
- Hide any other sections that a user simply doesn't need.

Ideally, this could be managed through a simple "Customize sidebar" menu, with checkboxes to show or hide individual sections.

This would not disable or remove any functionality. It would simply declutter the interface and let users focus on the features they actually use.

The goal is simple: a cleaner, more adaptive interface that shows only what's relevant to each user.

I think this would make BetterTouchTool much easier to navigate, especially for who only use a subset of its many features.

**Mockup**

I made a quick mockup, not the best, but just to give the idea. Something like **Hidden Settings (N)** reminds the user that something is hidden. Maybe also clicking on it would show the popup with checkboxes, so it would be very intuitive to show again a section.

**First-launch setup**

I would also suggest introducing a welcome screen on first launch, allowing users to select which features they intend to use.

This would serve two purposes:

1. Help users discover the full range of features available in BetterTouchTool (there are so many! ❤️‍🔥).
2. Let them choose which sections should be visible in their Configuration interface from the beginning.

Thanks for considering! 🙏
