ExtraBar is a macOS menu bar application that transforms your menu bar into a customizable command center. It provides power users with instant access to apps, deep links, and custom actions, requiring zero permissions to work out of the box.

Key features include creating custom actions for any app or file using deep links and triggering macOS Shortcuts. Users can jump directly to specific screens, settings, or content in any app with a single click, eliminating the need to navigate through menus. The app allows switching between inline mode, which looks like a native menu bar, and floating bar mode, a separate customizable bar that blends with macOS. Additionally, users can assign custom keyboard shortcuts to any action to launch apps, trigger workflows, or run scripts instantly.

ExtraBar works by letting users build precise Mac actions and trigger them from the bar. It is built for action rather than icon management, distinguishing it from apps that hide or organize menu bar icons. Optionally, accessibility permissions can be enabled for enhanced keyboard navigation, but the core functionality requires no special permissions.

The benefits include speeding up workflows by providing quick access to daily tools like Zoom meetings, Slack channels, VS Code projects, Figma files, and more. Use cases involve designers opening specific Figma files and prototypes, developers jumping into code projects, managers accessing team dashboards, and power users creating automation chains.

Target users are designers, developers, managers, and power users who need efficient workflow automation. The app integrates with various applications through deep links and supports custom actions without collecting data or requiring network access.
