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.

Cheick out what is happening in this release 2.1 update Added a tour animation, and how-to guide. When a user opens the app for the first time a ‘Welcome tour’ animation will appear with helpful tips. To see it again, go to Settings-About RoostBAR and you can select the Welcome tour button to watch it again. Note the How-to guide link is here, as well. Give it a watch, it is fun. Full Screen Ultimately RoostBAR is not about Full screen mode, but if the user does select full screen from within the streaming site the main panel now disappears behind the full screen, until the user hits Esc or closes it out.
