[Off-topic] What apps are there in your menu bar? #32

Closed vincentcox closed 8 years ago

Yes, this is very very offtopic, but my curiosity made me do it... Which apps are there in your menu-bar?

Thanks for the amazing and very extended app-list. This is golden to me! (I actually googled "OS X WiFi app" before I realised it was just the icon you said...)

PS: there are at least two "Remind Me" apps out there… mine is the one by HighOrderBit… freeware, but only on the App Store. (Their website doesn't exist anymore, and it hasn't been updated since 2014.)

As a general note, there are always functionalities that you can program yourself and add to a BitBar plugin; e.g. I plan to migrate all the functions of cmdQuit to my BitBar system management plugin… maybe even Jettison (eject/mount volumes). It's not really important in terms of CPU, because they're idle anyway most of the time, but I need to free up some space. ;)

menubar

I actually have a fairly minimal menubar right now, the only ones you see in that screenshot are:

I usually run Bitbar with a whole bunch of custom scripts (e.g. open pull request count, homebrew packages that need updates count).

I occasionally also use these menubar apps:

Other apps/tweaks you might find interesting:

@JayBrown running a Mac Pro with 16 cores there ;)? What's the CPU/mem impact like with all those things running?

JayBrown commented 8 years ago

MBP mid-2010 (top i7 model), currently at 2%.

(Also open: VLC, TextEdit, BBEdit, iTerm, Vienna, InfoClick, Mail Safari… some of my own launchd background stuff as well.)

pirate commented 8 years ago

Wow, and I was thinking of selling my unused 2011 i7 MBP this year, I guess it's good for a quite a while longer.

JayBrown commented 8 years ago

Just wait until backupd, mds, CleanApp daemon etc. start working. ;)
