New

  • Keys you know from Raycast in the palette. ⌃N and ⌃J move down, ⌃P and ⌃K move up, ⌘, opens the selected plugin's settings, and ⌘⌫ clears the search.
  • Move to Applications. Opened from Downloads or a disk image, Stackbar offers to move itself, so it can update and open at login.
  • Install the command-line tool from Settings › General: it puts stackbarctl in /usr/local/bin.
  • Remove all data in Settings › General moves Stackbar's plugins, data, caches and logs to the Trash, deletes its secrets and settings, and quits.
  • For plugin authors: Stackbar.focusWindow brings any open window forward, and the new .menus capability reads the front app's menu items (Stackbar.menuItems()) and chooses one (Stackbar.pressMenuItem) (protocol 20). Switch Windows and Search Menu Items in the Store use them.
  • Merged plugins hand over cleanly. When a plugin takes another one over (Window Layouts and Workspaces are now one plugin, Windows), your hotkeys, aliases and favourites for its commands move across, the old plugin is turned off, and its Settings page offers to uninstall it. The Store stops listing it. For plugin authors: replaces: in the manifest, and Stackbar.open takes stackbar://store/<plugin-id> and stackbar://settings links without asking for the scheme.

Fixed

  • Typing "settings" in the palette opens Stackbar Settings. Return used to open whatever file or System Settings pane came first. The palette now has Stackbar Settings, Commands & Hotkeys, Privacy & Secrets and Plugin Store, and typing a command's whole name or keyword puts it first. stackbar://settings (or stackbar://settings/commands) and stackbar://store links open them too.

Install

Signed with Developer ID and notarized. Install with Homebrew or the one-line installer (both also put stackbarctl on your PATH):

brew install --cask navbytes/tap/stackbar
curl -fsSL https://stackbar.app/install.sh | bash

Or unzip, drag Stackbar.app into /Applications and open it.

Requires macOS 26. Store plugins come prebuilt, so Xcode is not needed to use them. To write your own plugins, install Xcode 26 or the Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install).

The command-line tool is inside the app: ln -sf /Applications/Stackbar.app/Contents/MacOS/stackbarctl ~/.local/bin/stackbarctl, then stackbarctl doctor.

Built from 3a43ed5.
