Your whole menu bar, one click away.

Open Control Center and every menu bar item — even the ones hidden under the notch — appears in a HUD in the middle of your screen. Click a tile and that item’s real menu opens, right where it belongs. Nothing in your actual menu bar is ever touched.

01 MENU BAR HUD

Under the notch. Off the screen. All right here.

microMenuBar mirrors every app’s menu bar item — real icons, real order — and shows them as a HUD the moment you open Control Center. What you couldn’t see is back, in the order you know.

or ⌃ ⌥ ⌘ M
1

Open Control Center

Or press ⌃⌥⌘M anywhere. Close it and the HUD goes with it.

2

Every item, live, in order

Top right is the right end of the real bar. Items that were hidden by the notch or pushed off-screen get a marker.

3

Click for the real menu

Press a tile and that app’s own menu opens at its real position. Right-click is forwarded too.

MacBook with a notch or an external display — the order is always the same.

Every detail, taken care of.

02CONTROL CENTER

Linked to Control Center

Shows up automatically when you open Control Center and disappears when you close it. Nothing to memorize — and you can turn it off in Settings.

Hands off the real thing

The HUD is a live mirror refreshed every second. It never moves, hides or reorders anything in your actual menu bar — so nothing can break.

Your own apps in the menu bar

Put Slack, Teams or any app in the menu bar with its Dock badge (unread count). Click for the app’s own menu — or to bring the app to the front.

Quiet when there’s nothing new

Choose what happens without a badge, per app: dim, hide, or always show. Icons catch your eye only when they should.

08 PRIVACY

It only touches the menu bar.

Accessibility is used to list menu bar items, forward your clicks and read Dock badge counts. Notification content and keystrokes are never accessed.
