Good apps don’t always come with a price tag. These menu bar gems are free — and worth your space.
OpenUsage
OpenUsage keeps track of your AI coding limits across providers like Codex, Claude, and Cursor, so you always know what’s left before a reset hits. It’s plugin-based, and quietly updates in the background, giving you one clear overview instead of ten scattered dashboards.
BucketDrop
BucketDrop is a macOS menu bar app that lets you upload files to your own S3-compatible storage, then instantly copies a shareable URL.
WebWatcher
Unblockd
Unblockd quietly monitors your pull requests across Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab. Instead of noisy notifications, it surfaces only what needs attention, so you can review on your own schedule.
FocusFlow
A calm macOS menu bar companion that keeps your day on track with Pomodoro and custom timers, gentle alarms, and breathing exercises for steady focus and quiet productivity.
Portsly
Portsly lives in your menu bar, showing which apps occupy which ports, so you can inspect processes, open services instantly, and terminate anything misbehaving with a single click.
VPN Bypass
VPN Bypass lives in your menu bar and routes selected apps and domains outside your VPN, keeping work secure while streaming, messaging, and everyday browsing stay fast and hassle-free.
