GridBar - Quick App Launcher

Visual Menu Bar Shortcuts

Only for Mac

$5.99

Mac

Your visual action launcher in the menu bar. Apps, URLs, files, shortcuts -- one click away. No subscription. No tracking. One-time purchase. Press a hotkey. Click a tile. Done. GridBar replaces your cluttered Dock, buried bookmarks, and scattered shortcuts with a visual grid that lives in your menu bar. You open the same 10-15 apps, websites, and files every day. GridBar reduces that to two steps: Hotkey + Click. WHY GRIDBAR? Unlike Raycast or Alfred, there are no commands to memorize. Unlike a Stream Deck, there is no hardware to buy. GridBar is visual, instant, and lives right in your menu bar. 6 TILE TYPES FOR EVERY ACTION: - Open App: Launch any installed app with one click - Open URL: Websites, deep links (msteams://, slack://) - Open File/Folder: Direct access to any file or folder - Run Shortcut: Trigger Apple Shortcuts directly - Call: Dial a phone number via FaceTime - Email: Address with optional subject line MULTI-ACTION TILES: One tile can trigger multiple actions simultaneously. Example: "Start Workday" opens Mail + Calendar + Slack + Teams in a single click. 3 DISPLAY MODES: - Grid: Floating panel with a tile grid - Compact: Icon row near the menu bar - Menu: Native dropdown menu BOARDS FOR EVERY CONTEXT: Create separate boards for Work, Personal, Project X. Switch with Command+1-9. Export and import boards as JSON. PRIVACY FIRST: - No tracking - No analytics - No account required - No data collection - All data stays local on your Mac ONE-TIME PURCHASE: No subscription. No monthly fee. Buy once, use forever. BUILT NATIVE: - Swift/SwiftUI from the ground up - Configurable hotkey (default: Command+Shift+G) - 54 languages supported - Menu bar app with no Dock icon GridBar is built for people who want their Mac to work faster -- without a learning curve, without subscriptions, without giving up their data.
