Good apps don’t always come with a price tag. These menu bar gems are free — and worth your space.
Typester
Pinster
Pinster sits in your menu bar and opens pinned websites in fast, floating popovers, so your favorite tools stay close without the clutter of a full browser.
WeekNumber
A minimal menu bar app that shows the current week number, so you always know where the year stands without opening a calendar or breaking your focus.
Montr
Montr gives precise hardware-level control over brightness, contrast, and color across all monitors, with smart profiles that switch automatically based on displays, time, or power state.
TighterMenubar
TighterMenubar lets you fine-tune menu bar spacing for a cleaner, more compact layout, so all your items stay visible without slipping behind the notch.
ZoneBar
A macOS menu bar app that shows multiple world clocks at a glance, with custom names and a time-travel slider to plan meetings or check if friends abroad are awake.
MiddleDrag
MiddleDrag brings true middle-click and middle-drag to your Mac trackpad with a simple three-finger gesture, making tab management, terminal pasting, and 3D navigation feel oddly normal at last.
YapYap
YapYap is a macOS menu bar app that lets you post to X and LinkedIn instantly, without timelines, distractions, or overthinking, so sharing ideas feels quick, natural, and painless.
