ExtraBar – Customizable macOS menu bar for quick app access and automation

Summary: ExtraBar transforms the macOS menu bar into a customizable command center that enables instant access to Zoom meetings, Slack channels, VS Code projects, and Figma files via deep links. It supports running scripts, triggering automations, and offers full keyboard control to streamline workflows without additional helper apps.

What it does

ExtraBar provides deep links to jump directly into apps and files, runs shell scripts and Terminal commands, and offers customizable right-click menus with 16 action types. It operates in Floating Bar or Inline Mode and includes 36+ app presets for common development, design, and communication tools.

Who it's for

It is designed for developers, designers, and users who frequently switch between projects, meetings, and communication platforms and want faster access without navigating multiple menus.

Why it matters

ExtraBar reduces time spent clicking through menus by consolidating key actions and shortcuts into a single, privacy-focused menu bar interface with no network access or data collection.
