StudyBar 2.12.1 — Smoother first launch

Less System Settings hunting. Permissions are optional and only asked when you want them.

What's new

Permissions only when you opt in

  • No notification prompt on startup — asked only if you enable notifications in onboarding or turn on reminders
  • Global keyboard shortcuts (⌥⌘) are optional — off by default; shortcuts still work while the menu bar popover is open
  • Onboarding Skip for Now on the permissions step — app is fully usable without granting anything

Settings clarity

  • Toggle for global shortcuts with live status
  • One-tap Open Accessibility Settings only if you enabled global shortcuts but haven't granted access yet

First install — macOS may block the app once

StudyBar is distributed outside the App Store and is not notarized (that requires a paid Apple Developer account). The first time you open it, macOS may say the app can't be checked for malware. This is normal for indie Mac apps.

Easiest fix (one time only):

  1. Open Applications in Finder
  2. Right-click StudyBar.app → Open
  3. Click Open in the dialog

After that, double-click works forever. No need to dig through System Settings unless you prefer Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

Terminal alternative: xattr -cr /Applications/StudyBar.app

Install script (strips quarantine automatically):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IMisbahk/studybar/main/scripts/install-release.sh | bash

StudyBar lives in the menu bar (book icon) — there is no Dock icon.

Upgrade from 2.12.0

Download the DMG, replace the app in Applications, or use in-app update when idle.
