M-Bar Launcher ships as a signed but not-yet-notarized DMG. On first launch macOS Gatekeeper will ask you to verify.
/Applications and choose Open. You will see a warning — click Open in the dialog.Requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later on Apple Silicon or Intel.
Open Settings from the popover gear icon, then click + Add Item and choose a type:
.app bundle from /Applications or elsewhere..command shell script — M-Bar Launcher opens it in Terminal on click.git -C ~/project pull) that runs via osascript when the item is clicked.In the Settings window, drag-handle the left edge of any row to reorder. The 3-dot menu on each row offers Rename, Duplicate, Edit and Delete. Changes apply to the popover immediately — no restart needed.
Launcher items are stored per-Mac in UserDefaults under the app's bundle identifier. They survive restarts, sleep/wake, and app reinstalls (as long as the bundle ID stays the same).
Items are not synced across Macs. If you want the same list on another Mac, export via Settings → Export and import on the other machine.
If a .command file or shell item does nothing on click, macOS is probably blocking it. Check System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation and make sure M-Bar Launcher is allowed to control Terminal and System Events. For .command files, also verify the file is executable (chmod +x).
M-Bar Launcher runs as an .accessory app — it has no Dock icon, only an NSStatusItem in the menu bar. If the icon disappears, your menu bar is probably full and macOS is hiding it (common on MacBooks with a notch). Hide some other icons or use Bartender/Ice to reveal it. Force-quitting and relaunching the app also re-adds the status item.
