About this project

Menu Hub is a lightweight native macOS application designed to streamline the management of menu bar items. Built with Swift 6 and SwiftUI, it offers a clean interface for searching, organizing, and activating running apps without any unnecessary overhead. Enjoy a seamless experience without code injections or cloud dependencies.

Menu Hub is a robust native macOS menu bar manager designed for seamless organization and interaction with menu bar items from running applications. Built using Swift 6, SwiftUI, and AppKit, Menu Hub maintains a high level of performance and reliability by leveraging only public macOS APIs—eliminating the need for Electron frameworks or intrusive permissions such as screen recording.

Key Features:

Effortless Access: Click the intuitive four-petal icon to quickly locate, organize, and activate menu bar items from all running applications.
User-Centric Design: The app features a compact, visually appealing panel that allows for easy searching and managing of menu bar items, making it straightforward to identify and utilize essential tools.
Customization Options: Manage favorites, recent items, frequent accesses, custom groups, and more through the Settings menu, providing a personalized experience tailored to individual needs.
Unread Message Badge: Menu Hub can overlay an unread message count on its icon when accessibility permissions are granted, allowing for real-time updates from supported messaging apps.
Keyboard Shortcuts: Effortlessly navigate and control Menu Hub using customizable keyboard shortcuts, enhancing workflow efficiency. For example, pressing ⌥M toggles the panel, while ⌘F focuses on the search functionality.

Language Support

Menu Hub supports ten languages, making it accessible to a diverse user base. Language settings can be adjusted within the app to fit user preferences or to match the system setting.

Privacy First

User data stays local with Menu Hub. The app does not transmit analytics or any personal information, ensuring a high level of privacy and security.

System Compatibility

Menu Hub requires macOS 14 or later and is suitable for both Apple Silicon and Intel processors, providing versatile support across a range of devices.

Build and Extend

For developers interested in contributing, Menu Hub is easy to build and test locally using Xcode and a Swift 6 toolchain. Continuous Integration ensures that every update maintains quality across chip architectures and follows a robust release process.

Menu Hub is ideal for users seeking to streamline their macOS menu interactions while maintaining control and privacy. Experience a new level of efficiency in managing applications directly from the menu bar.
