Product Description:

Take control of your Mac's menu bar and put the empty screen space to use. Create your own custom system-wide menus full of your most important files and folders. Put shortcuts to all of your favorite applications in the menu bar. Create 'Action Buttons' that can launch, hide, or quit groups of applications with a single click. Add free plugins that give you quick access to the contacts in your address book, keep track of your most frequently visited web pages, let you control iTunes without switching from your current application, and more. Aside from being able to add items to your menu bar, MenuStrip can also extend it if it is already too cramped. By becoming a control strip that can be put anywhere on the screen, it effectively extends your available menu space.

  • Create fully customizable drop-down menus in your menu bar
  • Create buttons that can launch, hide, or quit groups of applications at once

MenuStrip CommentaryThe developer is dead (but he keeps his bank account open)! - Version: 3.0.5, 4/3/2007 09:55AM PST

It's now over a year since kposer noted that this seemed to be abandoned software. Nothing new since then - and the same with the developer's other piece of software, iDraw. Their website pages have copyright dates up to 2004 or 2005. Their "contact us" form - to which they don't respond - asks you to select your OS version, but it only goes as far as 10.3.

But they're still happy to take your money!

I does what it says it does, which is a heck of a lot. Smoothly, easily and simply. It would have to be the number one productivity enhancement on my Mac.

My only concern is the lack of a Universal version and what appears to be any sign of future development.

My deepest wish is that MacOSX finally gets the equivalent of Boomerang and an Apps/shortcut menu on the menubar.

MenuStrip CommentaryAbandoned piece of software - Version: 3.0.5, 2/22/2006 10:31AM PST

Unfortunately, Menustrip seems to be an abandoned piece of software. I wrote several times to the developer and never got an answer. Their website looks unchanged since about one year. A pity - this could have become one of the most valuable utilities for OS X.
