Menuist v4.5 is out! A macOS Finder enhancement app with context menu extensions and menu bar navigation.
Description: Menuist is a macOS Finder enhancement tool that extends right-click menus and adds quick favorite folder access on the menu bar. Packed with practical features including new file creation, code preview, file path copy, QR code file sharing, folder history, quick deletion and folder icon customization, it perfectly fits daily office and development workflows. Problem: The native macOS Finder has bare-bones right-click options missing practical functions like new file creation and path copying. Meanwhile the system menu bar does not include native shortcuts for favorite folders, forcing users to browse directories layer by layer. Cumbersome file operations drag down productivity for office workers and developers, and Menuist fixes these two core shortcomings. Compare: Unlike bloated alternative Finder plugins loaded with redundant features, Menuist is lightweight and requires no complicated setup. Beyond core functions such as new file creation, code preview, path copy and QR code sharing, it supports favorite folder bookmarks, browsing history, instant file deletion, image paste creation and custom folder icon colors. A newly added toggle lets users hide unwanted menu entries to trim the right-click context menu freely. Pricing: Basic features are free. One-time payment of $24.99 for additional setup options. Changelog: This update adds multi-language localization, fixes issues related to compatibility, window pinning and right-click menus, replaces the preview highlight component, and refactors UI and common source code. 📥 Download Link 💬 Support & Feedback

Seems useful, but isn’t price too high? Just asking, you may have your motivation
I get your thought, feel free to tell your target price.
looks useful, definitely something that’s missing. but the price is really high, unfortunately. maybe to add custom actions or just more actions
I fully understand your worry about the high price. This product has been under continuous maintenance for three years. I priced it on a simple logic: one-time payment for lifetime ownership, which averages only the cost of two cups of coffee each year. Thanks to this pricing margin, I’m able to provide occasional discounts down the line. I haven’t figured out a perfect pricing system yet, so I set the price this way. We’re still optimizing and adding small features constantly. All future preset and custom actions will be rolled out via free updates with no extra cost, so the value will keep growing.
Looks very useful, but price is definitely quite steep
This project has been maintained for 3 years with over 50 releases, and the price was only revised once. You can tell me your target price, I will calculate whether a price adjustment is feasible. Discount can be offered on next Reddit campaign or we can cut price directly.
I like how you have all your apps in one place now!
Thanks for your kind feedback! Glad the unified layout brings you a better experience.
absolutely
For some reason menuist is always asking for permissions. I give folder permissions, its good for a few weeks, then it comes back. I’ve tried everything
If you select folders outside the user directory (~/), permission authorization is required again after restart. This issue was fixed in macOS 15 but has reappeared on macOS 26. If you pick the root directory (/), re-authorization is needed after restart under sandbox mode. This problem was resolved before macOS 15, yet I haven’t found a fix for macOS 26 for now.
