Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Asaf, the maker of ExtraBar.
After creating DockFlow and ExtraDock - macOS apps that improve productivity and unlock unlimited options for Dock customization, I found a new issue in my workflow.
Yes, it is nice to have a complete workspace shift using DockFlow shortcuts, and to have multiple docks for different uses that hide and show whenever you need them, where you need them.
BUT sometimes you need to quickly open your personal Zoom meeting or a client's project when they message you, and you don't want to replace your entire workspace.
Looked at my macOS menu bar and found an incredibly large number of useless icons that I never use.
Most of the menu items in the apps that I use don't have what I need.
So this is how ExtraBar started to bake in my mind.
After a few months of exploration, learning the domain, three pivots for different solutions,
ExtraBar is live, and I can't live without it already.
I'm a developer who constantly switches between Code projects, jumps into Zoom meetings, checks Slack channels, and accesses Figma design.
The built-in menu bar made every one of these tasks slower than it should have been.
Click, navigate, search, click again. Repeat 50 times a day.
Apps like Bartender and Ice help hide icons, but they don't help you actually do things faster.
I wanted deep links, custom actions, and keyboard shortcuts without installing a dozen helper apps.
What makes it different:
Deep links that work:
Jump straight to Zoom meetings, Slack channels, Spotify playlists, Notion pages, Figma files, and Code projects. No more navigating through 5 levels of menus.
Real actions:
Run shell scripts, trigger Shortcuts, execute Terminal commands.
Every item has a customizable right-click menu with 16 action types.
ExtraBar runs in two modes:
Floating Bar (sleek, auto-hide window and customizable) or Inline Mode (native menu bar icons). Switch fast based on your workflow.
36+ app presets:
Smart defaults for dev tools, design apps, communication platforms, and productivity apps. Works out of the box.
Complete keyboard control:
Global hotkey, custom shortcuts for every action, zero mouse required.
Privacy-first: No network access. No data collection. Everything stays on your Mac.
Launch Special: €9.99 until January 31st (regular price €24.99)
Lifetime license. All future updates included. 14-day money-back guarantee.

I'd love your feedback:
What would make this even more helpful for your workflow?
Which apps would you like to see support deep link presets?
What actions are missing that you'd use daily?
Thanks for checking it out.
Happy to answer any questions.

@samtheanalyst Hey there!
Thank you for the detailed comment 😄
ExtraBar is suitable for developers, designers, and super users managing many apps and diverse workflows.
Soon, with the new presets update, it will be a perfect replacement for Barthender, and will also fit people who like to be organized and have a clean setup.
I think the most powerful feature is the deep links.
It unlocks many possibilities for the app, and users are highly creative in their setup.
About the website, we didn't start the optimization session yet, everything went so fasttt
Once the preset version is released, I will focus on the website.
Thank you again!
Let me know if you try it, I will be happy to get your feedback.
This one seems very convenient. It's so sad Apple has stopped caring about improving Mac usability! But it's so great that people are building it for high performers and shortcut lovers!
@pasha_tseluyko They gave us great opportunities to build solutions 😄
Congrats on the launch!
Another great product to your already amazing lineup, insta-buy from me 🎉
I tried it thanks to a friend’s recommendation, and it turned out to be the best product I didn’t know I needed. Having a visual UI for complex automated actions I previously had to do manually is a huge productivity boost - especially great for people with ADHD.
@gabi_balko Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it 🙏
Congratulations on launching another fantastic app! Looks awesome!
@kamil_d Thank you!
Glad you liked it 😄
Means a lot when it comes from you 🙏
Deep links + shell scripts in the menu bar is brilliant. 🤯 I've been using a mix of Raycast script commands and Shortcuts, but having a visual "dashboard" for actions right in the menu bar seems way faster for clicking between Zoom/Slack contexts. Is there a library of pre-built presets we can browse?
@sumit_deepenrich Thank you!
Glad you liked it,
Yes, there is a library of actions in the app.
And more will be available 😄
We build custom settings for popular apps such as Figma, Cursor, and Zoom.
Let me know if you managed to test it ,and for any questions or requests, feel free to contact me 🙏
