What People are Saying
Features
Recents
Your handiest menu items. Handy.
Finbar remembers every menu item you’ve selected, gradually accumulating a list of your favorite menu items. This list stays relevant across launches, and even when menu items have a dynamic, varying title.
Searching
Less typing. More menu items.
Find the menu item you were looking for faster and with minimal typing, all while eschewing tiresome memorization of its title. Select a menu item with children to narrow the search and keep going within that scope.
-
List mode flattens the entire menu bar into one big list and sorts items by their match score.
-
Outline mode filters the menu bar while preserving order and hierarchy — great for viewing menu items in context.
Browsing
A menu bar browser.
Breeze through the most complex menu bar hierarchies without ever touching your mouse: Finbar makes it easy to reach every menu item with just a few keystrokes.
-
Outline mode turns the menu bar into a browsable outline, just like Finder does for your file system.
-
Menu bar scoping. Select a container menu item to focus on a subset of the menu bar, and view and search just the hierarchy of that menu item.
Themes
Make it your own.
Choose from a growing list of classic themes or create yours from scratch.
Rules
A menu bar without the noise.
Create incredibly intricate rules using the Mac’s tried-and-true rule editing interface, and never see an irrelevant menu item again.
Scripts
Bring your own menu items.
Finbar will automatically pick up any shell scripts or AppleScript files placed inside a designated folder and integrate them with the rest of the menu bar, giving you a way to add “menu items” of your own.
