MenuBarGate 1.0.1

Adds the approved custom app icon.

Requirements: macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon (M1 or newer).

Need an Intel or universal build? Please open an issue; one can be added if there is demand.

Install: download MenuBarGate.dmg, open it, and drag MenuBarGate.app to Applications.

Trust and permissions: this build is ad-hoc signed, not Developer ID signed or notarized, so Gatekeeper may require Control-click → Open once. Accessibility permission is required for the system-wide pointer event tap and full-screen check. Keyboard events pass through unchanged; there is no networking or analytics. The bundle identity is unchanged from v1.0.0.

The README links directly to the small Swift implementation and explains how it works.

MenuBarGate v1.0.0

First public release. Prevents accidental menu-bar reveals in full-screen macOS apps until you hold a configurable gate key. Defaults to Control and a 4-point edge clearance. Includes full-screen-only mode and Launch at Login.\n\nRecommended installation: download MenuBarGate.dmg, open it, then drag MenuBarGate.app onto Applications.
