I recently updated my live rig for better potability and bought a NUC and touchscreen to replace my laptop. Trying to use my fat fingers to select rackspaces was cumbersome at best so I heard mention of XotoPad here in the forum from a few years back. I demoed it and immediately bought a license ($USD39), installed it and started making program change buttons and in no time I had a sweet program changer right in front of my keyboard. It does many other musical jobs as well, but this is what I needed for the moment. Control faders will probably be the next use for me.
Anyone needing a control surface for their touchscreen should check it out. Hauke, the author is also very responsive and a nice guy.

Looks nice, and always good to hear of solutions that work and are supported.
The various OSC approaches can do a lot of the same, potentially with more detailed feedback, but can also come with a steepish learning curve. I used to use Open Stage Control a fair bit, which is great but takes some learning (but very nice if you’re already fluent with javascript and html).
