I used to use Bartender, which worked really well, until the newest version, which had so many issues. Since then, I've just basically put up with it.
The new version has improved a bit since launch, you may want to give it another try.
Alternatively there's also this with 1.7k stars already and supporting more services (Despite the name): https://github.com/steipete/CodexBar ( https://codexbar.app )
If I wanted to vibe code my own macOS menu bar apps is this a good starter project to use as a template? Are there any others? Do I just not need one (claude code can do it without a starter template at all)?
I used CC just yesterday to build a native MacOS menu bar app by using plan mode (opus) until there was alignment then to edit mode for the build (I use Zed for the prompting).
CC walked me through the needed Xcode project setup and handled all of the code there after.
I’m sure something more complex would be more challenging but I was happy with a two-shot result for this native menu bar app.
I tried another alternative yesterday as I found myself hitting that /usage command too often and it didnt work too well but yours worked straight out of the box! Great job! I built another tool that should have really been part of the core Claude Code CLI (which you may or may not find useful): https://github.com/agentic-utils/ccs It lets you search and resume past Claude code conversations from anywhere.
Doesn't support the "from anywhere" part, but the resume strategies are pretty cool.
