Bartender on AppleInsider Podcast

This episode is brought to you by Bartender six. If you know Macs, you know Bartender. It's the long storied Mac utility that for so long, so many years, has given you control over your Mac's menu bar. When you have a small monitor, right, it lets you control just what does and does not take up space there because, naturally, it even lets you change that on the fly as you need it to. And then with a large monitor, I have an ultra wide one. Well, you'd think there's plenty of space. Yes. But only with bartender do menu bar icons stay in the same place every time so that you can find them with muscle memory. All of that is bartender. All of that has always been what's making people buy bartender, and it continues, of course, but now there's more. Now there is also bartender pro. With bartender pro, you get a feature called top shelf. So on a MacBook with a notch, for example, that space there is where you can, with Bartender Pro, quickly, drag files over to AirDrop them somewhere, to add them to your clipboard, or to store them somewhere else, to move them somewhere in the finder. It's also now where bartender widgets that show live weather updates or Apple Music controls can be, or a calendar. Bartender Pro, it also uses Apple's live activities for these so that with the calendar, for example, where you can see right away that you have an online meeting coming up. But that's not just, you know, like a reminder of the date. It's the notification with a button right there so that you can see the reminder, you click, and you are in that meeting. Bartender Pro costs $15 per year and includes everything in the regular Bartender six, of course. And that version of Bartender six, continues to be available for a one off $20 purchase. There is no requirement to upgrade to a Bartender Pro subscription, but there are so many reasons to try it. Check it out for yourself at macbartender.com/appleinsider.
