I love being able to control my lights from my iMac. My only 'observation' is that it does not seem to see all of the scenes. All in all good stuff!Update: I still LOVE this app. I work from home, so I spend a lot of time at my desk. Being able to control all of the lights in my home from my desk is great. I found the scene I mentioned in my original review. I have an app on my Apple watch that also allows me to control my lights. It's called iConnectHue. There is a scene in the app called Evening Light. It's the scene I use for all my lights in the evening. It would be great if I could use your app to set my lights for the evening when I've finished work.

Seeing as the official Hue app isn't available on macOS, I'm so glad somebody made this. It's exactly what I was looking for – quick and easy changing of brightness and scenes from the menu bar.As an added bonus, you can set up a keyboard shortcut to open the menu, then use arrow keys to navigate between different rooms/zones, and increase/decrease brightness or toggle lights on and off using just your keyboard.Overall, this app is fantastic and well worth the few dollars. Thank you very much!

I've tried other Hue related apps and found them lacking, but this has proven to be a keeper. Easy to use and navigate to insure that you get the exact results you're looking for when adjusting lighting. It provides a nice simply interface, with easy to identify groups and specific lights while allowing for rapid adjustments with a click of your mouse. This may be the one Hue app we've all been hoping to see for the Mac.

There are other apps similar to Hue Menu Bar, but this one has the right combination of features and ease of use. It’s simple to use. Just go to the menu bar and choose the lights, zones, and scenes within to control. It also has keyboard shortcuts and more advanced options like quick actions and scripting to automate your lights right from your Mac. Well done!
