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.

Menu Bar Icons Hidden Behind Notch
Your menu bar icons are hidden behind the notch? You're not alone.
The notch only leaves so much room. Once your menu bar fills up, the extra icons hide behind it where you can't see or click them.

The problem
What happened to the Mac menu bar
Since 2021, MacBooks have had a notch at the top of the screen.
Up until macOS Sequoia, menu bar managers like Bartender, Ice, and Barbee helped tame the clutter up there. If you are replacing one now, our Bartender alternative for Mac comparison covers the current choices and their tradeoffs.
Enter macOS Tahoe. macOS 26 changed how the menu bar works, and tools built for the old way haven't all kept up.
The menu bar has quietly become a dumping ground for apps.
ExtraBar takes a different approach. It gives you a command center of your own, and clears up your menu bar along the way.
The fix
Here's how ExtraBar fixes it
Your menu bar isn't a dumping ground. Pull an app out, add it through ExtraBar, give it a custom icon and menu, choose where on your screen it shows up.
Before & after
The difference is night and day
On the left, icons swallowed by the notch. On the right, a clean bar with a menu personalized to you.
Meet custom menus
A cleaner menu bar is just a side benefit. ExtraBar lets you build custom menus for each app, keeping only the actions you actually use, plus custom actions of your own, powered by deep links.
What's a deep link?
A link that does one specific thing. Instead of just opening an app, it takes you to an exact spot inside it, or runs an exact action.
What's a deep link good for?
- Skip Notion's menus and open the exact page you need
- Skip scrolling Slack and jump straight to a channel
- Skip searching your calendar for the link and join the Zoom call directly
- Skip the apps and menus entirely and run your macros, shortcuts and scripts
ExtraBar is a home for your deep links
Add the ones you use most and they're always a click away.
See what your apps can do with deep linksOnce you try deep links, there's no going back.
Don't worry, they're everywhere
Most popular apps already have their own deep links built in.
Deep links (also referred to as URL schemes) are often found in the app's documentation, and some apps let you copy them right from the app's UI.
A couple of tools make them easy to track down:
- Ask your favorite AI how to deep link to a specific thing in any app, then paste in what it gives you.
- Raycast is a goldmine of deep links. Find an action, hit ⌘K, and choose Copy Deeplink.
Find it once, drop it into ExtraBar, and it's yours for good.

Save a stupid amount of time
If you've never used a deep link, get ready.
Stop searching WhatsApp for the same person every single day. Add a deep link that opens the chat with them the second you click.
Do that across the apps you live in and you have no idea how much time you'll get back.

Any Questions?
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.
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.
If you try it out, and it doesn't fit your workflow, you will get a full refund, no questions asked.
If you want releases published after that window, you will be able to extend update access separately later.
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.
You own your data. Nothing is stored in the cloud. You can back it up, move it, or delete it anytime.
You can save your setup to a file and load it on another Mac.
