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.

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.
