- ExtraBar offers a customizable menu bar for Mac users with instant access to apps, deep links, and custom actions without requiring permissions.
- Users can create custom actions for any app or file, use deep links, and trigger macOS Shortcuts tailored to their workflow.
- ExtraBar allows launching any app screen, setting, or feature directly, eliminating the need for menu clicking.
- It features both inline and floating bar modes, with inline mode for native menu bar integration and floating mode for a customizable separate bar.
- A single global hotkey can be assigned to interact with ExtraBar, facilitating easy navigation between apps and menus using numbers or arrows.
- The tool is designed for various professionals including designers, developers, managers, and power users, offering quick access to tools and files.
- ExtraBar supports opening specific files, frames, prototypes in Figma, Slack channels, IDE projects, and Zoom calls directly from the menu bar.
- It enables users to build their perfect workflow with custom actions, keyboard shortcuts, and deep links, enhancing productivity.
- Unlike apps like Bartender, Ice, and Barbee, ExtraBar focuses on action rather than icon management and requires zero permissions to function.
- During the launch month, ExtraBar is available for a one-time payment offering lifetime access, with the price set to increase after January 31.
