The Mac menu bar is one of the defining characteristics of the Mac. Someone once called it ‘the north star’. 😎 It’s the best place to show little tidbits of information. But there is only so much room! In other words: you’re gonna have to choose. I mean; this handpicked directory already includes 200 sources in 20 categories. And they’re all real menu bar apps. (Although sometimes it’s difficult to decide whether an application is really a menu bar app or not. If a menu bar icon is solely a shortcut to opening some main app then I tend to ignore it. Do feel free to disagree. 😉) And please feel free to get in touch anytime or to submit new menu bar apps for inclusion. MacMenuBar.com is a one-man operation. I curate and maintain everything on here. Not powered by AI. 🤗
Thank you, we're(One Switch) been selected.
Yep! And you're welcome :)
Great execution Luuk. Looks awesome with all the categories. Thank you for including EasyFinder(). Did you use it? Would love to get your feedback on it.
Yes, I did! And it really works like a charm. :)
🙏🏼
Great job !
Thanks Denis! Appreciate it!
Looks awful on iPhone
Maybe cause it was meant to be seen on a desktop? 🤷‍♂️
I'm sorry to hear that. On my iPhone SE the site looks fine. I will look into the matter, thanks!
Great work! Maybe this will get me to finally finish the half-finished menu bar app languishing in my projects folder. Is there any way to put an icon or some sort of indication showing that a particular project is open source? I noticed that some mention it in the description and some don't. As someone who primarily learns by looking at and playing with other people's code it'd be super helpful with such a large collection.
Hi Jim, thanks for your feedback! Good idea, I'll put it on my to-do-ist. *thumbs up* And let me know when your menu bar app is launched!
UPDATE: Now it's a curated directory of 500+ Mac menu bar apps!
This looks really promising. Great job!
Thanks Bruce! It was a lot of work, but really fun to do. And the collection is still growing. :p
Great job ! I love things like this as a way to find great new tools. Only thing I feel the site is missing is a "browse all" option...
Hi Dean! A browse all option is really a good idea. Thanks you. :)
You should make these icons as .svgs, they'd probably show up a little sharper on the site. Other than that, I love this!
That's a good suggestion, thank you Jack!
No CloudApp under Cloud Apps??!? CloudApp is the best cloud app there is. It beats Droplr and Drop Share in every single feature category!
Hi Charles, you can find CloudApp here:
Great collection. One suggestion. It would be useful to see the price for each if possible.
Hi Csaba, thanks for your feedback. I have thought about that, but prices do fluctuate a lot. It is impossible for me to keep track of them on MacMenuBar, in such way that the numbers are reliable. But of course you can always click on the hyperlink! ;)
