Your Mac's menu bar,
supercharged.

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.

• Monitor brightness — a slider for every screen, including third-party monitors over DDC/CI. Monitors behind an adapter that blocks DDC are dimmed by software instead.
• Mute your mic — from any app with ⌃⌥⌘M, great for meetings. And rewrite any selected text with ⌃⌥⌘R: fix, clearer, more formal, shorter.
• Window manager — snap windows to halves, corners and thirds with ⌃⌥ shortcuts or a grid, and send them to the other display. Or just drag a window to an edge or corner.
• Command palette — press ⌃⌥Space to find any app, action, window layout, snippet or note. Type “brightness 60” or “awake 2h”. Do math and conversions too: “20% of 340”, “5 km to mi”. And it transforms the text you copied: UPPERCASE, camelCase, format JSON, Base64, count words. For developers: see which ports are in use and stop the server, generate a UUID, turn a Unix timestamp into a date and decode a JWT. Menew's actions also show up in Siri, the Shortcuts app and Spotlight, ready to use. With Apple Intelligence it also summarizes, rewrites, fixes and translates the text you copied, using only the model on your Mac. Quick links open sites straight from it: “g coffee”, “gh menew”, “maps paulista”, or your own like “jira ABC-123”. Ask it anything starting with “ai” and the answer appears in a small window, written on your Mac. In notes, AI summarizes or pulls out the to-dos as a checklist. Read a QR code from the screen, or show a QR of copied text, a link or your Wi-Fi for your phone. Type “remind pay the bill tomorrow at 9” to create a reminder in the Reminders app. Find emoji (“emoji rocket” or “:fire”) and symbols like →, °, € or ✓ and paste them anywhere. Translate the copied text offline with Apple's translator, even without Apple Intelligence. Set a timer (“timer 10m tea”) or an alarm (“alarm 7:30”) with a countdown in the menu bar. Drop your own scripts (shell, Python, Node, AppleScript) in the scripts folder and each one becomes a command, Raycast-style. Or just say what you want: “do dark mode, keep awake and open Safari” and the Mac’s own AI lines up the steps for you to confirm.
• Work profiles — save your open apps and window layout, then bring it all back with one click: apps open, windows go back in place, mic and Keep Awake set.
• Quick shelf — shake files while dragging and a shelf appears. Drop files, links and text there, then drag them all out together. Originals never move. Photos on the shelf can be converted to JPG, PNG or HEIC, shrunk in bulk or stripped of location and metadata, without touching the originals. PDFs too: combine, compress, rotate or turn pages into images. Drop a recording or video and get the transcript as a note, offline.
• Automations — at 9 AM turn on your work profile, mute the mic when Zoom opens, dim the screen when you unplug, quit everything when a focus session starts, run one of your Shortcuts a minute before a meeting or when the Mac wakes. Simple triggers, no scripts.
• Copy text from screen — press ⌃⌥⌘T, select any area (a video, a PDF, an error message) and its text goes to the clipboard. Works on copied images too. Runs entirely on your Mac. Or ask about it: “explain this error”, “translate this”, “what should I do?”, answered by your Mac’s own AI.
• Focus timer — start 25 minutes (or any time: type “focus 50” in the palette) and the countdown shows in the menu bar. It can mute the mic, keep the Mac awake and pause the clipboard, then puts it all back and gives you a 5-minute break.
• App control — quit all apps, quit everything but the one you're using, hide the rest or force quit a frozen app. A work profile can close everything else and open only what you need, and an automation can quit all apps when the battery hits 5%.
