The 34 Best Mac Menu Bar Apps 🖥

A few months ago, we launched Ask Product Hunt, a community-powered product search engine. To date, more than 2,300 questions have been submitted, with one of the most popular ones being: What is your favorite MacOS menu bar app? 🤔

Community members recommended over 100 different products, including essential menu bar apps like f.lux, iStat Menus, and Caffeine. Lesser known - but equally downloadable – favorites like Rocket, Quitter, and Escape also made the recommendations list.

Mac menu bar apps come in all shapes and colors. Some make you more productive, others are known for just the opposite.

Here are 34 of the best Mac menu bar apps, and if you don’t see your favorite, recommend it here.

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
