Good apps don’t always come with a price tag. These menu bar gems are free — and worth your space.
Particulars
Switcher

This menu bar app prevents the accidental closing of applications, for instance pressing cmd q by mistake.
ShotSolve

ShotSolve lets you capture any part of your screen and instantly run a pre-configured GPT-4o prompt on it. From generating code out of Figma designs to UI feedback and contextual help, it turns screenshots into practical answers within seconds, all inside a fast, native interface that respects your privacy and keeps your API key securely stored in the Apple Keychain.
IsThereNet

See when your internet disconnects and reconnects. A green top status line means connected; Red means disconnected (and Yellow means slow internet). The status line does not display in screenshots and does not interfere with menu bar navigation.
Second Clock

This menu bar app shows a second clock for a different time zone in your menu bar. There’s a workaround to have even more clocks.

DownCount
Coin Ticker

Coin Ticker keeps the current values of your crypto holdings in the corner of your screen, giving you a quick, real-time pulse on your portfolio without needing to open an exchange or switch to a browser tab.
Trash Buddy

This menu bar app puts a large, freely movable Trash icon on your Desktop, and can automatically empty the Trash every 30 minutes to 24 hours.
