Our verdict on ExtraBar

ExtraBar is a paid macOS menu bar customization app for designers, developers, managers, and power users who want quick access to apps, bookmarks, scripts, shortcuts, and other actions. It creates a separate customizable bar rather than changing the arrangement of existing third-party menu bar items. Users can organize actions into folders and choose menu bar, floating, collapsed, launcher, or notch display modes.

Its strongest fit is automation-heavy work. ExtraBar supports custom menu actions, deep links, keyboard shortcuts, keyboard navigation, Apple Shortcuts, and scripts written in shell, Python, AppleScript, and other languages. Integrations include Keyboard Maestro, BetterTouchTool, Raycast, Obsidian, Notion, Things 3, Drafts, Fantastical, DEVONthink, OmniFocus, Bear, Craft, Todoist, and 1Password. Presets help switch between configurations, while export and import support moving settings between Macs. The app works offline and stores configuration locally.

ExtraBar is sold through permanent licenses rather than a free plan. The One Year License provides one year of access for one Mac and one year of updates. Lifetime Access provides lifetime access for Mac with one year of updates, while the Forever Edition covers up to five Macs, includes forever updates, and includes all future app versions. Each plan includes a 14-day money-back guarantee. Choose ExtraBar if you want a configurable action hub with scripting and ecosystem connections. Choose another option if your priority is hiding or rearranging existing menu bar items, since ExtraBar does not provide those functions.

How long have you used it?

I've used ExtraBar myself and this is my honest opinion — nobody paid or asked me to write it.
