Top 10 Essential menu bar tools
10 essential menu bar tools
Add extra features and functions to your Mac using menu bar tools and boost your productivity
At the right-hand side of the menu bar are some useful tools, like the clock, Wi-Fi indicator, battery status and so on. They are not the only items that can be shown here and there are many utilities that add menu bar items. They add extra functions and features that can be accessed with a click, or they show useful information. Some show even more functions and information in dropdown panels or popup windows.
Here are some of our favourite menu bar extras. There are ten, but we don’t expect everyone to add all of them. Try them and see which you like best. Add all of them and you might run out of space on the menu bar, which bumps up against app menus, so only run a few.
