Hey, Product Hunt community! 👋 I'm thrilled to introduce Badgeify, a tool I've created to enhance the Mac user experience. As a long-time Mac user, I've always felt our menu bars could do more. That's why we built Badgeify — to unlock the full potential of this often-underutilized space. Key features: • Add any app to your menu bar for quick access • Real-time notification badges for all your apps • Customizable icons and app grouping • One-click app launching • Universal compatibility with macOS apps I'd love to hear your thoughts! What features would make Badgeify even more helpful for you? We're here to answer any questions and eager for your feedback to make Badgeify even better. Thanks for checking Badgeify!

@kjosephabraham Thanks for your support, the feature I'm most excited about is my recently launched App group, which lets multiple apps share one menu bar icon.

Wow, Yuexun! Badgeify looks like a real menu bar game-changer for us Mac enthusiasts. 🍎 Love how you've tackled the challenge of making that space more functional. The customizable icons and app grouping sound super handy for keeping things tidy. Quick question though - have you considered adding any keyboard shortcuts for power users? It'd be awesome to toggle those grouped apps without reaching for the mouse. Also, any plans for integration with productivity apps like Pomodoro timers or to-do lists? That could be next-level stuff! Either way, can't wait to give Badgeify a spin and declutter my menu bar. Keep innovating! 🚀👨‍💻

Hey @yuexunjiang! Badgeify sounds like a game-changer for macOS users who love keeping their workspace tidy and efficient. The ability to add any app to the menu bar and track notifications seamlessly is a fantastic idea, especially for those of us who prefer a clean desktop with a hidden Dock. The customizable icons and app grouping features also sound like they'll really personalize the experience. I'm curious, how does Badgeify handle resource management in terms of performance? Looking forward to trying this out and seeing how it fits into my daily workflow. Great work on developing such a useful tool!

@steven_wang_0804 Thanks, Steven. Badgeify is currently very stable. It only gets the number of notifications from the Dock, which means it uses minimal resources. Updates to the menu bar are also on-demand, meaning that if you have not received any messages, there is essentially no performance consumption. Feel free to download and experience it, and if you have any feedback, please feel free to contact me.

hey @yuexunjiang, hats off to you for creating badgeify. it sounds super handy for mac users and your idea of maximizing screen real estate is dearly appreciated. but, could the slight delay while switching apps be an area you can improve on? Just a thought! Keep up the good work though.
