Handybar turns your Mac menu bar into a personalized command center for shell commands, scripts, and AppleScript actions. Whether you click an item from the menu or trigger it via a system-wide keyboard shortcut, Handybar runs your tasks instantly, posts a native notification, and copies the output straight to your clipboard. Organizing your commands is simple with a single JSON configuration file that you can easily back up or sync across your Macs. You can build your own commands from scratch or import our bundled packs for clipboard transforms, system toggles, and network checks to get started immediately.

Packs
Handybar shows you every command in a pack before adding anything, and adding a pack never changes items you already have. Add to Handybar opens the pack in the app, so it needs Handybar installed. Download file works without it.
