Symbar 2 is here. It’s been completely refreshed and rewritten, and is ready to go for SF Symbols 6. This update includes all the latest SF Symbols that are available on Apple Platforms. I’ve also taken care to clean up the UI, improve accessibility, keyboard shortcuts, animations, and search. LATEST SYMBOLS Symbar 2 includes all the latest SF Symbols available from Apple. That’s over 6,000 symbols! And now they’re all quickly accessible from your Menu Bar. NEW DETAILS PANEL When you select a symbol, a brand new details panel will open with a redesigned layout, new controls, and easier to read information. Leave the details panel open to always see the information about your currently selected symbol. Use the new toolbar controls to preview how symbols look at different weights, rendering styles, and with colors applied. IMPROVED SEARCH The search feature previously matched your query against the name of the symbol only. Now search will index on the symbol’s category, common synonyms, and the symbol’s name. Plus, if the initial search turns up no results, Symbar will dig deeper using a new fuzzy search algorithm to provide additional results (which may not be as accurate, but may help you better find the symbol you’re looking for). NEW CONTROLS Make Symbar work just the way you like it. You can now change the primary click action when selecting a symbol. Choose between (1) copying the symbol name, (2) copying the symbol name and opening the details panel, or (3) opening the details panel only. You’ll also notice some of the layout controls have now been moved to the bottom bar to make them easier to use. CONTEXT MENUS Finally! You can now secondary click (right-click / option-click) on a symbol to bring up a menu with additional actions such as favoriting, opening details, or copying the symbol name. PLATFORM AVAILABILITY DATA I’ve added availability data to all symbols for Apple’s newest platform: visionOS! Plus all platform availability data is now both much more accurate and much more granular. This means, where applicable, you’ll see minor OS version availability information (e.g. “iOS 14.1” instead of just “iOS 14”). I hope this update to Symbar was worth the wait, I know it’s been a long time coming so I appreciate your support and patience while I worked on this. I have some exciting updates planned for the near future so stay tuned. And, if you’re enjoying this update, please take a moment to leave a rating or review on the App Store — it really helps :). Happy coding, Sam

Symbar's first update brings a significantly improved interface (pretty snazzy if you ask me!), more information about symbols, keyboard shortcuts for common actions, and a new favoriting system. INTERFACE UPDATES The interface is now cleaner, providing more distinction between the search bar, symbols list, symbol details, and controls. Updated material backgrounds make symbols look even better (and easier to see) in both light and dark mode, and with any desktop background. I've also designed new app and menu bar icons that look even more at home on your Mac. DATA ADDITIONS Platform availability information is finally here - as requested! You'll see which platform each symbol is available on (e.g. "macOS Big Sur 11.0+") in both the symbol detail view and when looking at symbols in the list view. Some symbols from Apple's most recent public release (2.1) had usage restrictions; those restrictions are now correctly reflected in the app. KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS Pressing the escape key when viewing a symbol's details will now dismiss the detail view instead of closing the app. You can press the 'f' key to quickly favorite or unfavorite a symbol. And, if you happen to need to copy a symbol's name again after clicking on it, CMD + C correctly does that! FAVORITING Mark a symbol as a favorite to pin it to the top of the symbols list / grid. Personally, I find this most useful when working on a project where I frequently need to use symbols with longer names in multiple of places (some of them can get quite long!). Although it's also great just to pin some of the more funky symbols for inspiration (you never know when that "ant" symbol may come in handy)! Thank you for all the support and feedback so far about Symbar. I hope this continues to be a useful tool for fellow developers and designers.
