Your macOS menu bar, supercharged.
A small, fast, opinionated workspace that lives in the menu bar — tasks, focus, clipboard, notes, automations, and multi-provider AI, one click away. Local-first, plain JSON storage, no cloud account.

Tabs
Eight tools you actually use, every day.
One popover. Loads in milliseconds. Persists to plain JSON files you can cat and back up.
Tasks
Lightweight to-dos with tags and Active / All / Done filters.
Focus
Pomodoro 25 / 5 / 15 with macOS notifications and a session counter.
Shortcuts
Quick-launch tiles for apps, folders, URLs, and shell commands.
Automate
12 one-click automations with run history and approvals for destructive actions.
Clipboard
Persistent history with search, pinning, and dedup — survives reboots.
Notes
Multi-note sidebar, auto-save, no formatting to fight with.
System
Live CPU, memory, disk, battery gauges — cheap to run, accurate enough to act on.
AI
Multi-provider chat with live streaming, slash commands, and approval gates.
AI
Auto-detects what you already have.
On every open, the AI tab scans /usr/local/bin, /opt/homebrew/bin, ~/.local/bin, ~/.cargo/bin, ~/.bun/bin, and falls back to a login-shell command -v. If nothing is detected, NeuraBar prompts you for an API key — no hidden defaults.
In-chat slash commands
/screenshots → sort Desktop screenshots by month /trash → empty the Trash (asks for approval) /heic → convert HEIC → JPG on Desktop /<text> → filters the slash menu
CLI (local streaming)
API
Desktop apps (handoff)
Automate
12 one-click automations.
Each action runs in the background and returns a structured result with stats and a run history. Destructive actions (trash, derived, hidden toggle, lock, sleep) require an explicit Approve press.
