MistBar — Clean up your Mac's menu bar

The Tools You Reach for All Day

A paste, a quick note, a glance at your inbox: it all goes faster when the tool’s already there instead of buried in another window.

Clipboard Manager and Snippets

Everything you’ve copied, a keystroke away. Scroll back through your history, pin the snippets you paste over and over, and drag a clip straight into any app. Images and files live here too, so you’re never hunting through another app to find them.

All Your Mail in One List

Every inbox in one place. Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, and Fastmail share a single hub, each with its own unread count. Write, reply, and undo a send without leaving the menu bar, and every account talks straight to its own provider.

(The accent color here is whatever you’ve picked in System Settings, so every MistBar feature matches your Mac.)

The Rest of the Toolkit

Quick Search

One field for your apps, folders, clipboard, and even the icons you’ve hidden away.

App Launcher

Open any app right from the menu bar. See everything you’ve installed or just the ones you want, with your most-used floated to the top.

Organize Apps

Create custom folders, group your apps into them, and hide the ones you never open.

Folders

Get to any folder on your Mac from the menu bar. Pin the ones you use most, browse what’s inside, and drag files straight out to wherever you need them.

Notes

Capture a thought with a shortcut straight into Apple Notes. Pin one to the dropdown, append to it, or edit without losing your place.

Text Expansion

Type a short abbreviation and MistBar fills in the whole thing, whether that’s a signature, an address, or a canned reply, anywhere you type.

AI Usage in the Menu Bar

Live in Claude Code, Codex, or Copilot? Keep an eye on what you’ve used without breaking your flow.

MistBar keeps your current usage and reset time right in the menu bar, then opens up to a full history: weekly trend, token breakdown, and by-model totals. For Claude and Codex it just reads what’s already on your Mac, so there’s nothing to set up.

No Screen RecordingDecluttering runs on Accessibility, so nothing on your screen is ever captured.

Pay OnceBuy it a single time, run it on three Macs, and keep getting updates without a subscription.

Your Data Stays PutMistBar collects absolutely nothing. No account, no analytics, no trackers, and your data never leaves your Mac.

Built for macOS 26Signed, notarized, and native on Apple silicon.

Like every SKJ APPS utility, MistBar is specifically designed to provide a feature-rich and useful experience, then stay out of the way, so it feels like a normal part of macOS rather than one more thing to manage.

Questions

Why Not Screen Recording?

Because MistBar doesn’t need it. It hides icons using Accessibility and a little menu-bar spacing, so nothing on your screen is captured and the purple recording dot never shows up.

Where Does My Data Go?

Absolutely nowhere. MistBar never collects anything, and it all stays on your Mac. The only time it goes online is to check for updates and verify your license.

Is There a Subscription?

No. You pay once and run MistBar on up to three of your Macs, updates included.

Which Macs Can Run It?

Any Apple silicon Mac on macOS 26 (Tahoe) or newer.

Can I Get a Refund?

Sure. Email [email protected] within 14 days and we’ll send your money back, no questions asked, through Lemon Squeezy.
