Octobar

Octobar is a modular menu bar toolkit for your Mac. Add the modules you need, leave out the ones you don't, and your menu bar stays exactly the way you want it.

Built around small, focused features:

• Hide Notch: covers the notch with a clean black strip
• Stay Awake: keeps your display awake on demand
• Tidy Desktop: hides every icon on your desktop in one click
• Pack Menu: tucks menu bar icons behind a chevron
• Translate: instant translation for any text
• Read QR Code: scan QR codes directly from your screen
• Color Picker: sample any pixel as HEX, RGB, HSL, or Swift literal
• My IPs: local and public IP at a glance
• Copy File Path: right-click any file in Finder, path goes to clipboard
• New File from Finder: right-click an empty area, create a new TXT, MD, RTF, HTML, or JSON file
• Open Folder, Open App, Open Webpage, Run Shortcut: one-click launchers
• Lock Keyboard: temporarily ignore keystrokes while you clean the keyboard

Free includes 5 module instances. Octobar Pro removes the limit and unlocks every future module.

Future builds add new modules. Pro owners get them free, forever.

Privacy first: Octobar runs entirely on your Mac. No accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, no advertising identifiers. No data ever leaves your device, except a single optional public-IP lookup when you use the My IPs module. Sandbox, hardened runtime, minimal entitlements.

Built for macOS 15+ Apple Silicon. First-class Dark Mode and Liquid Glass support on macOS 26.
