RoostBAR - Menu Bar Player
Your streaming, out of the way
Only for Mac
$4.99
Mac
A compact player that lives in your Mac's menu bar. Run almost any streaming site. Keep it on top, or send it behind what you are working on. Save your layout for later.
RoostBAR lives in your Mac's menu bar, tucked away until you need it.
Click the icon, pick a service, and a compact player opens. Set up to two windows at once, each can have their own settings and sizes.
No Dock icon to hunt for. No browser tab to lose track of.
WATCH WHILE YOU WORK
Player windows can float above everything or be set to hide underneath. While you write, code, or answer emails RoostBAR is ready for you whever it lands. Drop the opacity to see straight through a window, or switch it to audio-only and keep just the sound.
WINDOWS THAT SNAP TOGETHER
Windows magnetize to the menu bar and to each other. Drag one and the stack comes with it. Tidy everything back into place with a keystroke, or save a layout and restore it whenever you like.
TUCK IT AWAY
Send a window up to the menu bar and the audio keeps playing. Click its icon to bring the picture back exactly where it was.
THE BOSS KEY
One chord hides every window and mutes every sound instantly. The same chord brings it all back.
BRING YOUR OWN SERVICES
Start from a catalogue of popular streaming sites, or add any site on the web by URL. Each service keeps its own separate login, so signing into one never touches another.
MADE FOR THE MENU BAR
• Global hotkeys — summon, hide, tidy, close, wake
• Per-window volume, independent of system volume
• Click-through mode so a window stops catching your clicks
• Apple Passwords autofill for signing in
• Opens at login and remembers your layout
• Zoom that sticks per service
IMPORTANT
RoostBAR is an independent player and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any streaming service. It includes no subscriptions and no content. You sign into services you already pay for using your own accounts, exactly as you would in a browser. Some services may not permit playback outside their own apps.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Welcome to the new User interface.
So many windows popping up all the place, it was unruly.
With the overhanging tab on the side you get easy access without losing your place.
-Removed reference to the PRO version. there may still be one one day, but not anytime soon.
-Updated the 'mute' menuIcon to be more inline with the rest of the apps
-Fixed ability to open and also close the app when selecting it from the menu bar (App still goes away if you clock anywhere on the desktop)
-Fixed wording for notification when user minimizes a window to the menu bar
-Hover over About RoostBAR now shows the hotkey list correctly
Oh and sneaky hint, the 'Add custom service' works for most websites. Use that information as you wish.
