BarTap 1.3.0
A tidy menu bar, live system stats and your AI coding usage, in one small macOS app that never fights you for the 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 1.3.0
- Arrange icons by dragging. Settings › Layout shows your icons in rows: Shown, Hidden and Always Hidden. Drag icons between the rows and along them (or right-click one), then click Apply. BarTap makes the ⌘-drags for you, one icon at a time, with the pointer hidden and put back afterwards, and stops for good the moment you touch the mouse or keyboard. Nothing moves before you click Apply; hiding itself still never fakes a click.
- The same on every display. One arrangement for all displays: a wide screen hides exactly what a narrow one hides. The Layout page no longer leaves every icon revealed while it is open, and it names a display that is too narrow for every shown icon.
- Volume, Bluetooth and a 3-in-1 icon. New stats items: volume (scroll on it to change the volume, switch output and input devices), Bluetooth devices with their batteries (AirPods left, right and case too) and one-click connect or disconnect, and battery, Wi-Fi and volume in one small icon.
- Battery power flow. The battery dropdown shows adapter, Mac and battery in watts, health, cycles and which apps use the energy. A ±W readout is available for the bar.
- Video downloads. BarTap menu › Download Video…: paste a link, pick Best, 1080p, 720p, audio only or MP3, and watch it download. BarTap uses yt-dlp from Homebrew, or fetches its official release from GitHub (checksum verified) when you ask. Download only videos you have the right to.
Connect and Disconnect ask for Bluetooth permission the first time; reading devices and batteries needs none.
