Recents

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 Finder for the menu bar.

Breeze through the most complex menu bar hierarchies with just a few keystrokes: Finbar turns every menu bar into a browsable outline, just like Finder does for your file system.

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

BYOMI (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, essentially a way for you to add “menu items” of your own.
