New

  • Notification buttons that do something. A plugin's notification can carry buttons that run its own commands, so you can snooze a meeting reminder or start your break right from the notification. A command that needs more opens in the palette.
  • Plugins can do more for you, each only after you allow it: add events to your calendar, open a command in your terminal app, read the text in a copied image or in a part of the screen you drag over (on your Mac, with Apple's text recognition), and show your Mac's temperatures and fan speeds. Store updates to Up Next, Pomodoro, Docker, Clipboard History, Translate and System Monitor use them.
  • Get beta versions. Settings › Store & Updates has a switch to try new versions before everyone else. Turn it off to go back to the next regular release.
  • VoiceOver reads every button in plugin panels, the palette and the Store, including the ones that show only an icon.
  • Community plugins in the Store. Plugins people publish under their own name get a Community section, and their page says who wrote them with a link to their GitHub.
  • For plugin authors (protocol 21): Stackbar.pickColor() and Stackbar.define(_:) (no capability; Color Picker and Dictionary in the Store use them); NotificationAction(title, command:, arguments:); Stackbar.saveCalendarEvent and writableCalendars (.calendarWrite); Stackbar.openInTerminal, every word quoted by Stackbar (.terminal); Stackbar.recognizeText on a kept clipboard image (.clipboard) and Stackbar.captureScreenText (.screenText); Stackbar.sensors (.sensors).

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 50208b1.
