Live power monitor, redesigned widget, and a polished menu. • Live power info: when plugged in, see charging wattage with the USB-PD standard AND your current system draw side by side; on battery, see the current system consumption in watts with battery level and remaining time — values update live every second while the popover is open • Instant reaction when you plug or unplug the charger — no waiting for the next refresh tick, no app restart needed • Widget redesign: list is now top-anchored (no more centered drift), a count badge shows total drives at a glance, and the widget now supports small, medium, and large sizes — fitting 2, 4, or 8 drives per layout • New "Hide hubs & controllers" toggle — keep the menu focused on drives if you don't care about hub chips • Removed the manual "Refresh" entry — DriveBar already refreshes automatically when you open the popover and on every drive connect/disconnect, so the button was redundant • Better eject error dialogs: when a volume can't be ejected, the system error message is shown cleanly (no more duplicated lines) and the force-eject prompt no longer references an outdated Finder-window behavior • "Skip eject confirmation" toggle also applies to "Eject All & Sleep" — previously only "Eject All" • Battery-friendly: the live power timer only runs while the popover is open and the toggle is active • Robustness: gracefully shows battery level + time remaining when the system itself can't report exact wattage (e.g. at 100% right after unplug, or on degraded batteries) Requires macOS 13 Ventura.

Now shows live power usage on battery, plus a redesigned widget. • Live power info: when plugged in, see charging wattage and PD standard; on battery, see the current system power draw in watts with remaining time and battery level — updates live every 3 seconds while the popover is open • Widget redesign: list is now top-anchored (no more centered drift), a count badge shows total drives at a glance, and the widget now supports small, medium, and large sizes — fitting 2, 4, or 8 drives per layout • Better eject error dialogs: when a volume can't be ejected, the system error message is shown cleanly (no more duplicated lines) and the force-eject prompt no longer references an outdated Finder-window behavior • "Skip eject confirmation" toggle also applies to "Eject All & Sleep" — previously only "Eject All" • Battery-friendly: the live power timer only runs while the popover is open and the toggle is active Requires macOS 13 Ventura.

Polished translations across all supported languages. • Settings panel: "Skip eject confirmation" and "Thunderbolt detection (experimental)" are now properly translated into English, Spanish, French and Italian (no more leftover German text) • The footer link tooltip and a few alert dialogs that previously appeared in German on non-German systems are now fully localized Requires macOS 13 Ventura.

Quicker preferences and a few welcome polish fixes. • New inline Settings panel — the gear icon slides preferences right into the popover instead of opening a separate window. Compact layout with native checkbox toggles • New option: skip the confirmation dialog when using "Eject All" (requested by a user coming from Mountain) • "Colored icons" and "Hide backup volumes" toggles now apply instantly — no manual refresh needed • Menubar icon updates immediately when switching macOS between Light and Dark mode • "Launch at Login" stays in sync if you toggle it from System Settings • Snappier ejects — removed an unused legacy step that was adding ~100 ms per eject • Fixed misleading tooltips on the volume action buttons Requires macOS 13 Ventura.

Fresh design and more reliable ejection. • Completely reworked menu in native macOS style — dark panel matching Wi-Fi and Battery, with clear sections and hover highlights • App icon in the header, more compact device list • "Hubs & Controllers" now expands inline in the menu • Stubborn USB sticks eject reliably — same behavior as Finder • Data-safe ejection: buffered writes are completed first • "In use" volumes can be force-ejected — blocking processes are terminated Requires macOS 13 Ventura.

What’s New in This Update • Improved USB/Thunderbolt speed readability in the menu for connected devices and hubs. • Fixed an issue where Hub & Controller entries could appear too dark in the submenu. • Improved filtering so Time Machine / backup / snapshot volumes are hidden more reliably when disabled in Settings. • Added notifications for Eject All so successful ejections now provide clear feedback. • Refined eject behavior: the menu now closes only after a successful eject, and stays open if eject fails.

What’s New in DriveBar • Improved menu bar icon: DriveBar now uses dedicated active and error icons for both light and dark appearances, so the status is always clearly visible on your menu bar. • More reliable widget updates: The widget now refreshes immediately when drives are connected or ejected, so you always see an up‑to‑date list of your external devices. • Safer eject handling: Ejecting busy drives is now more robust and no longer causes the app to freeze. If a volume is still in use, DriveBar shows a clear warning and lets you decide whether to try again. • Visual polish and small fixes: Various refinements to icons, colors and menu behavior to make DriveBar feel even more at home on macOS.
