A tidy menu bar, live system stats and your AI coding usage, in one small macOS app that never touches your mouse.

Install: open BarTap.dmg and drag BarTap to Applications. BarTap is self-signed, not notarized. If macOS blocks the first launch, open System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.

New in 1.2.0

  • Settings › Layout shows your whole menu bar, real icons in their real order. Drag │ (and ‖) to choose which icons are hidden. BarTap only moves its own dividers; to reorder other icons, ⌘-drag them in the menu bar. Every icon stays shown while the page is open.
  • Real icons everywhere. With Screen Recording on, the shelf and the Layout page show each icon as it looks in the menu bar, so two icons of one app (say, iStat Menus' CPU and memory) are easy to tell apart.
  • Claude usage credits. When your Claude plan pays for usage beyond its limits with credits, BarTap shows how much of the monthly limit is used or left, in the dropdown and as a menu bar item (ring + amount).
  • Lighter. Settings is built only when you open it and gives its memory back when closed; slightly tighter spacing between BarTap's own items; a more compact 5h / 7d plan readout.
  • Fixes. Hidden and shown icons are no longer mixed up for a few seconds after BarTap re-creates its items; an out-of-date 5-hour plan figure is no longer shown; Claude's session limit no longer appears as a second weekly limit.
