ExtraBar

ExtraBar is a macOS productivity app that turns your menu bar into a customizable command center for quick actions.

You create action lists that live in your menu bar. Each action can be a deep link, an Apple Shortcut, or even trigger Keyboard Maestro or Raycast macros. Choose apps to open with, or open specific folders paths.

Use cases vary by workflow. Developers use ExtraBar to jump directly to specific IDE projects, Designers use deep links to specific Figma files or Notion docs. Team leads create actions that open specific Slack channels or project dashboards. Power users use ExtraBar to gap the bridge between management and hundreds of automation created by tools like Raycast, BetterTouchTool or Keyboard Maestro.

You can create multiple action lists organized however you prefer — by project, by app category, by client, or by context. Actions can be reordered, grouped, and customized. The app supports both inline mode (adds apps to the macOS menu bar) and floating bar mode (separate floating bar). Menu Mode allows users to have everything under a single icon for a cleaner workspace. Configurations can be exported and imported, making it easy to sync setups across machines or share workflows with teammates.

ExtraBar can stay hidden or visible, whatever works for you. Call it with an hotkey, or keep it handy as a floating bar or at the menu bar. Users with macOS 26 (Tahoe) can benefit from added functionality of holding Cmd and dragging away apps from the menu bar, and manage them through ExtraBar, with the custom actions they actually need.

Built native for macOS. No permissions required. Compatible with macOS 12.4+, including macOS 26 (Tahoe).
