# SimpleTopBar
|
|
|
|
A native macOS menu bar app that shows a compact top bar with every app that is
|
|
running on your Mac, split into two sections:
|
|
|
|
- **Apps** — regular apps that live in the Dock.
|
|
- **Background Apps** — accessory/agent apps without a Dock icon. This section
|
|
is a **dropdown**: it stays collapsed to a single header, and when you expand
|
|
it only the first few apps are shown. The rest are hidden behind a
|
|
**Show N more** row so the list never overflows the panel.
|
|
|
|
Click any row to activate the app, or right-click for Activate / Hide / Quit.
|
|
|
|
## Install with Homebrew
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew tap TZGyn/tap https://gitea.tzgyn.dev/TZGyn/homebrew-tap.git
|
|
brew trust TZGyn/tap
|
|
brew install --cask simpletopbar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The tap is hosted on Gitea, so the full URL is required. Homebrew may print an
|
|
"Unsupported tap" warning — it's harmless.
|
|
|
|
## Build from source
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
swift build # debug build
|
|
swift run SimpleTopBar # run from terminal (app appears in the menu bar)
|
|
swift run SimpleTopBar --self-test # headless check of the dropdown logic
|
|
./build-app.sh 0.1.0 # release build + SimpleTopBar.app bundle + icon + codesign
|
|
./release.sh 0.1.0 # build-app.sh + dist/SimpleTopBar.zip + sha256
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Around the Background dropdown
|
|
|
|
The background section is collapsed by default. Expanding it reveals
|
|
`AppListModel.backgroundPageSize` (5) apps at a time; when more are running a
|
|
**Show N more** button reveals the next page. Collapsing resets the page.
|
|
|
|
## Releases
|
|
|
|
`./release.sh <version>` builds and zips the app to `dist/SimpleTopBar.zip` and
|
|
prints its sha256. Tag `v<version>`, attach the zip to a release on the Gitea
|
|
repo, and bump `version`/`sha256` in the cask in
|
|
[TZGyn/homebrew-tap](https://gitea.tzgyn.dev/TZGyn/homebrew-tap).
