ExtraBar - A command center for your mac

完整上下文原始内容 · Reddit

Hey everybody! ExtraBar is a command center utility for your mac, at first we referred to it as a menu bar manager, but while it does help you tame your menu bar by removing their native icons and managing them through it, it is not a traditional hide/show menu bar manager like Bartender. Background macOS Tahoe introduced several challenges to menu bar managers, and ExtraBar was our attempt to create a simple alternative. After fighting a losing battle with edge cases, we quickly pivoted towards a different approach, which is a customizable menu bar, one that's better referred to as a command center. ExtraBar has 16 different actions for the apps you add to it like open, quit, force quit etc however, it's main power is deep links. Anyone would have used deep links before know how powerful they are, and how much time could be saved on operations your perform every day, that has a deep link. Examples of deep links (there are millions of deep links, those are just random examples): - Open WhatsApp to a specific conversation - Any operation on Raycast like caffeinating your mac or any action from any extension you install - Open Notion or Figma to a specific page in the browser or directly in the desktop app - Trigger a Keyboard maestro macro or a BTT gesture directly by using their native URL scheme (deep links) Read more on Raycast and deep links Video In the video you can see me playing with different actions such as Open with App (Bloom), Raycast - which is literally built on top of deep links, as well as how I customized my CleanShot X menu with just what I need using Raycast Extensions. Core Features - 5 Display Modes: Menu bar, Floating bar, Collapsed mode, Notch mode & Hide/Show launcher style - Built with focus on Keyboard navigation, you can call ExtraBar with your keyboard and navigate the menus however you like with numbers or arrows. - Fully customizable menu bar with 15 actions (Open with, Run Script, Run Shortcuts, Hide/Show, Deep links, Keyboard Shortcuts and more) - Included bookmark manager (seen in video) with cloud sync between devices, web dashboard, soon to be fully cross platform, read more here Comparison As I mentioned ExtraBar is different from apps like Bartender or Barbee as it's not about hiding and showing apps. Instead ExtraBar is about menu bar customization, and turning your menu bar into a command center that's personalized to you. Pricing €15 Summer Sale is running until 1st of August (40% off)

Haha of course! Thank you for suggesting it! I had a ticket with your name on it :-)

deep links are criminally underused, most people don't realize half their apps expose a URL scheme. does ExtraBar surface available deep links for an app automatically or do you have to know/paste the scheme yourself? that discovery step is usually the thing that stops people from ever using them

I have this and it's very useful. I have the Unicorn as my menu showing - could you add a dragon please? And a goblin?

u/UnluckyDuckyDuck楼主回复

I'm glad you find it useful! 😄 You can set the menu bar icon to be any emoji icon you like 🐲 or 🐉 for dragons or 👺 for goblin

Hey and shalom! I bought the app a while ago, the setup process was a bit much so i left it for later and never got back to it 😅 but cool app overall, i just need to actually sit down and set it for my workflow.

u/UnluckyDuckyDuck楼主回复

Shalom! :-) Thank you for the support in our app ❤️ Yeah I definitely get you, it takes some time to setup, but we're brainstorming an idea that will allow users to speed it up with AI :-)

I love every notch-related app, until the notch covers the menu bar :(

u/UnluckyDuckyDuck楼主回复

I feel you. It's not really a notch app, but I personally use it in Notch mode cause that's the cleanest for me, keeps my menu bar minimal, and I like me some minimalism. The upside with ExtraBar is that you have complete freedom to choose where you want your menu bar icons, be it in the notch, in the menu bar, under a single icon or floating in a horizontal/vertical line, or even hide/show launcher-style on demand :-)

huh. I'll try it out. I just/finally upgraded to tahoe and Bartender 6 is not working. No response from support, either.

u/UnluckyDuckyDuck楼主回复

Sounds good! It’s not a direct alternative to Bartender, but it can definitely help you take care of your menu bar. I cleaned like 10 icons from mine and I keep them in the notch now 😄
