SummaryDeveloper built ExtraBar, a SwiftUI macOS app that turns the menu bar into a keyboard-driven command launcher for app actions, custom shortcuts, and deep links, requiring no system permissions, unlike Bartender or Ice.
Why it mattersReframes the menu bar as an action surface instead of an icon hider, and ships a permission-free alternative to existing menu bar managers.
