    Handy app, very helpful. Nice to have apps folder or most others available from top menu bar as well. Many thanks, C

  • Convenient!

    I wanted a way to launch apps directly from the menubar, and this does just that. I would love there to be a feature whereby you can pin individual apps to the menu bar to launch them in one click, rather than having to select them from a list. For example I use mission control quite a lot so if I could pin it directly to the menu bar, that would be great.Overall though the implementation is pretty good, and I would recommended this app.

  • Very useful

    A great little app that's been on the Mac for many years. No bloat: gives you a whoel bunch of useful stuff from the menubar.Hard to argue with its value when it's free. (Though some may try.)

  • Brilliant

    I wanted a launcher for the menubar and this app is just perfect. Lightweight, simple, easy to configure.Highly recommended.A couple of suggestions:- allow users to pick an icon for the ‘Custom’ category- make the ‘XMenu’ sub-menu available on right-click only so that a regular (left-)click on the menubar item only shows the configured items

  • Totally brilliant and simple

    This app is great. Loads any bunch of text files into a menu so fairly customisable.

  • Fantastic App

    I have used this app for several years and when I installed Lion I thought that Lauchpad may replace it. I have now removed Launchpad from the dock and returned to using XMenu. I notice the last two reviewers mentioned not being able to fix in the menu bar - you can and have been able to do this for quite some time. All you have to do is add it to the Login Items in your user profile. Once in your Login Items it then starts automatically each time you login and becomes irreplaceable. I just noticed that this version has a Preference option to do this for you.To be honest I was expecting Apple to have a similar feature in Lion but Launchpad is no substitute for this. This is the best launcher I have seen for Mac OS.

  • Real time saver...

    Gives you a menu bar Icon. Click the icon you get a drop down menu giving you a shortcut to your most used folders and apps. Customise with as few or as many apps/folders as you like. Simple to configure and a pleasure to use. One reviewer considered this is what launch pad should have been, I agree. There are certain apps & folders you come back to time after time, get there faster. Some apps you wish had a menu bar shortcut, now they do!!!! Bonus, it's free, I would have gladly paid a couple of quid.

    I love this application - it helped me clear out my dock (something I'm always trying to do) and it's got a lot of options. The only thing I wish is that you could set a menubar link to any folder of your choosing. As it stands you have to put an alias/symbolic link (shortcut) in the Xmenu folder in ~/Library/Application Support/XMenu and then you click on that, and the folder appears underneath it.But overall I think it's great!

  • Good, but needsa few more things

    I think that this would be 5-star with the ability to move it along the bar, I want it closer to the middle, not right next to Spotlight. And to be able to add your own items, or exclude items. So I just want Documents, Apps, Music and Videos showing up under the Home option.

  • Great idea, missing one thing though....

    dazzameebad

    The only reason i haven't given this 5 stars is because you have to manually load it each time.Please update soon. Other than that it's a must have app that enables you to de-clutter your dock.

  • Cant see the point

    It doesn't do anything that cannot be done under OSX as far as I can see - apart from putting the folders on the menu bar rather than the dock.
