Use case

Mac Workflow Automation

Workflow automation is replacing a sequence you repeat by hand with an automation your Mac runs for you.

ExtraBar has an MCP server, so you describe the automation you want, your AI assistant builds it, and the button appears in your menu bar.

If you're clicking it, it could be automated.

Hidden power

The power of AppleScript

AppleScript has been on the Mac since 1993, which makes it older than macOS and older than nearly every app you run.

It can tell a scriptable app to do almost anything: pull today's unread mail, eject every disk, rename a hundred files. And when an app offers no hooks at all, it reaches into the interface and clicks the buttons itself.

Anything you can do by hand can be automated with AppleScript, directly into ExtraBar.

The entrance exam

You do not have to be a power user

In the past, automation was reserved for people who knew how to write code. With AI, those days are gone. If you can find the words to explain what you want, AI can create it.

You do not need to touch the Terminal, have coding knowledge, learn AppleScript, or edit a config file by hand.

Automating your workflow has never been easier. Script it, tell your AI to add the deep links and actions, and it lives one hotkey away.

Don't take our word for it… take theirs.

I've been using ExtraBar for a bit now, fantastic product! It's solved so many of the issues I was having with the regular dock and the additional features are pretty cool. I've submitted a couple bug issues and u/UnluckyDuckyDuck has always been on-top it and has even sent personal betas to me to make the issue is resolved.

Great app! Great Support! Was well worth the money.

That's really awesome! Congratulations on another great app!

I'm absolutely loving some of the updates. Your emails are great because without them I would have missed a few cool things. I have completely reworked my ExtraBar menu. I use the notch layout with icons which are hidden until I hover over the notch. It's great. I sometimes use the new launcher feature which is really useful and looks great.

Love the MCP integration ... makes the app 10x better and easy to use.

I'm so appreciative. I just love the apps you make, they've completely changed the way I use my Mac.

Mike · ExtraBar user

I have found that your program is one of those that I have become dependent upon. Not having it truly caused me sadness, not to mention a disrupted workflow.

David · ExtraBar user

ExtraBar is a compelling new utility designed to reclaim lost productivity by radically reimagining the humble macOS menu bar. Far more than just a notification hub, ExtraBar transforms this often-underutilized space into a fully customizable command center.

Wow this is huge! With one Claude Cowork prompt I had it create an action "Cancel all pending print jobs", and it works perfectly. Thanks for this!

Just got ExtraBar. I now have all three products, and they offer ample options to enhance my workflow.

Steve · ExtraBar user

I post here a few times already, but I really love this app! I put apps that don't fit in my dock, or just place icons to look at them :)

Those apps hide menu bar icons. ExtraBar lets you create custom actions, and add them to the menu bar.

Menu bar managers help you organize existing icons. ExtraBar lets you build a fully customizable bar with your own shortcuts, deep links, and actions - things that don't exist in your menu bar today.
Deep links let you skip navigation and jump straight into specific content.

Instead of opening Zoom and finding your meeting, one click takes you directly there. Same for Slack channels, Spotify, and apps like Raycast, BetterTouchTool, Things 3 and more which support Deep links.
ExtraBar does not have a free trial, but we offer a 14-day money-back guarantee.

If you try it out, and it doesn't fit your workflow, you will get a full refund, no questions asked.
ExtraBar keeps working forever on every version released during your included update window. There is no subscription, and the app never locks when the first year ends.

If you want releases published after that window, you will be able to extend update access separately later.
Yes. If you bought ExtraBar before the one-year update model was introduced, your lifetime updates remain lifetime. You do not need to do anything.
ExtraBar supports macOS 12.4 and later, including macOS 26 (Tahoe).
No. ExtraBar works entirely offline.

There's no analytics, no telemetry, no data collection. Your configuration stays on your Mac. The only time ExtraBar requires internet connection is during license activation.
Your configuration is stored locally in your Mac's Application folder.

You own your data. Nothing is stored in the cloud. You can back it up, move it, or delete it anytime.
ExtraBar supports export and import of your configuration.

You can save your setup to a file and load it on another Mac.

Automate your Mac.
