Nobody ends up on a menu bar app directory by accident. Visitors arrive with intent: they want a better clipboard manager, a smarter battery indicator, a cleaner menu bar. Your app is the answer to a question they’re already asking.

why advertise here
An audience in discovery mode
Menu bar users are the power users of the Mac. They pay for good software, care about native design, and tell other Mac users what to install.
🔍
High-intent traffic
Most visitors arrive via search, looking for a specific type of Mac app. They compare, click through and download — the shortest possible path from impression to install.
🛠️
Built by one, trusted by devs
MacMenuBar has been independently curated since 2019. Indie developers advertise here — and come back. Most of our slots are booked by returning advertisers.
options & pricing
Three placements
Every placement runs for a full calendar month and is exclusive — no rotation, no sharing. All placements link directly to your site with your tracking parameters.
Top Banner
Displayed at the very top of every page, site-wide. The first thing every single visitor sees, on every visit, on every page.
☑️ Site-wide: appears on all 1,500+ app pages and collections
☑️ Your logo, a short tagline and a call-to-action button
☑️ Designed to match the site — native, not noisy
Sticky Placement
Your app pinned at the very top of the Recently Added page — above every other app, every single time. The page returning visitors check first.
☑️ Fixed #1 position on the most-visited discovery page
☑️ Full app listing: icon, description and download link
☑️ Looks like a listing, performs like an ad
Collections Banner
A full-width banner on the two highest-traffic pages: the homepage (example) and the Collections overview (example), where visitors decide where to dig in.
☑️ Prominent full-width visual on homepage + Collections page
☑️ Room for a real creative: product shot, tagline, CTA
☑️ The largest, most visual slot we offer
