A menubar clock that says "twenty to nine" instead of 8:38. Click it for the exact time and a calendar. That's the whole app. FuzzyBar tells the time the way you'd say it out loud. Instead of 8:38, your menubar reads "twenty to nine". Click it for the exact time, today's date, and a month calendar with week numbers. Pick a personality in Preferences: plain spoken English, Shakespeare, German, Mission Control, Eldritch, or Latin. Every one of them tells the same time, just with more character. FuzzyBar is small on purpose. • Time in words in the menubar, updated only when the phrase changes • Exact time, full date, and a month calendar one click away • Nine personalities • Start at login, through the system Login Items list • No Dock icon, no network, no analytics, no account • Native on Apple silicon and Intel, a few hundred lines of Swift, no dependencies Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Open source under the MIT license.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

FuzzyBar 1.1 • Your own personalities. Write the words yourself in a plain text file and import it: Save as Template gives you a starting point to edit in TextEdit. • Special times. Pick a minute, daily or once a year, and choose what the menubar says then. "pi o'clock" at 3:14, anyone? • Sunrise and sunset in the popover, worked out from your time zone. No location access needed. • Vague, a new personality for when "evening" is precise enough. • And at midnight on New Year's Eve, FuzzyBar has something to say. • Preferences now opens in the middle of the screen instead of under the menubar.
