In the following articles, I will share further customizations and apps I have in my setup. In this article I shared how I customize my menu bar. In case you are a Javascript developer, you might want to apply your skills to create your own menu bar app using xbar. If you want to see what other cool menu bar applications exist, check out this curated directory of MacOS menu bar apps. For example, I removed Spotlight and Siri as I don't use them from the menu bar. In case you keep those default apps, make sure to check out System preferences -> Dock & Menu Bar and customize the options to your liking. In case you want to reorder those menu bar apps, hold down the CMD key and drag the app with your mouse into desired place. This is why I started my own project to make a simple and free Weather app for your menu bar. There are some great options, but they are not free. I wish I could share another app that perfectly fits into menu bar, and that would be a weather app. This comes in pretty handy when I'm coding and cooking, a dangerous combo btw :) Missing piece :) Once timer runs out, there is audible alert to remind you it's over. I can quickly set a timer or start a stopwatch. This one I love because of it's simplicity.

It’s easy to use, fast, and gives you exactly what you need. Horo is the timer app you need for your menu bar. On top of this, once clicked, it shows a calendar month view, which comes in handy when I need to quickly check the dates without opening a calendar app. You can configure to show Day, Date, Month and choose a dark/light theme in case you want your Date to stand out. However, the built in date display takes too much space. Sometimes, every second counts, therefore I enable the seconds display on the Digital Clock menu bar. If you want, it will display your events as a companion to the Mac Calendar app. You can use this guide to hide MacOS default battery indicator.

I use the Battery metric from Stats as it shows only the percentage vs the built in battery indicator which shows icon plus percentage and therefore taking double the space. You can configure more metrics in case you need them. It helps me keep an eye on CPU, Network and Battery levels. I love Stats due to it's aesthetics and level of customization. Stats - macOS system monitor in your menu bar These are the apps I have installed in the menu bar 1. What you can see on the right side will depend on screen width and how many menus current application has.

Keep in mind that left side has higher priority and if needed, it will cover the right side.

However, all the remaining space on the right can be customised and used to install additional applications. Left side shows your current application menus, and it can't be customised. Menu bar sits at the top of the screen and it has two main sections, left and right.

This is going to be an article series and I will start by sharing what is in my menu bar. In this article I will share few apps and ways that help me make the most of it. You may end up using your Mac very differently from others. MacOS gives us many different tools to keep us productive.
