Menu Bar Apps for Mac
A good menu bar app stays out of your way until you need it, then does one thing in a click or a key. These are the Snugbits apps that live in the menu bar.
Every one is a native macOS app: no web views pretending to be apps, no accounts, nothing uploaded. You pay once and keep it.

Questions
What is a menu bar app on Mac?
An app that puts a small icon in the menu bar at the top of the screen instead of living in the Dock. Click the icon (or press its shortcut) to use it; the rest of the time it stays out of the way.
Do menu bar apps slow down my Mac?
Well-made native ones use almost no resources while idle. Snugbits apps are built natively for macOS and do their work only when you use them.
My menu bar is full. Where do new icons go?
On MacBooks with a notch, icons that do not fit can end up hidden behind it. Hold ⌘ and drag icons to reorder them, and quit the ones you rarely use.
Are these apps a subscription?
No. Every Snugbits app is a one-time purchase with no account.
