Everything in one place

The little things you do every day,
one click away.

Menew replaces a handful of paid menu bar utilities with one fast, native app built in Swift. With the Liquid Glass look of macOS 26.

System monitor

CPU with live graph, memory pressure and swap, disk, battery health and cycles, and the busiest processes, which you can quit in one click. Optional alerts, and you choose what shows in the menu bar.

Clipboard history

Text, links, images and files. Instant search, filters, pins and a rich preview. Opens with ⌘⇧V.

Quick actions

Switches that show what's on right now: dark mode, keep awake with a timer, hidden files, desktop icons. Plus color picker, screenshot to clipboard, eject disks and more.

Free up space

Clear caches, logs and developer junk in seconds. A deep scan finds old downloads and large files for you to review.

Internet

Live download and upload, local and public IP, and a real speed test powered by macOS itself.

Notes, snippets & devices

Notes with #tags and Markdown checklists, protected notes that open with Touch ID, and reusable snippets in ⌘⇧V.

Clipboard history

Never lose something you copied.

Press ⌘⇧V anywhere, type a few letters and hit return. It pastes straight into the app you were using.

  • Smart previews — color swatches for hex codes, link previews, images and file icons.
  • Filters & pins — jump between text, links, images and files; keep favorites on top.
  • Password-safe — ignores anything marked as a password by 1Password, Keychain and friends.

Quick actions

Toggles you'd otherwise Google every time.

Show hidden files, hide the desktop, keep the Mac awake for an hour or pick a color from anywhere on screen — without opening Terminal. Every switch shows its current state.

  • Clean keyboard — every key is blocked for 2 minutes, unlock with a click.
  • Clean screen — pure black on every display, double-click to exit.
  • Screenshot to clipboard — it lands right in your history.
