- Bug fixes.
Description:
Quickly access documents, files, folders, and apps from the menu bar.
Think of it as an alternative to Dock folders, just more powerful and customizable.
Each folder you add gets its own menu bar icon that you can customize and move around (drag the menu bar item while holding the Command key).
You can click on a file or folder in the menu to open it.
Example use-cases:
- Access files relating to your current project.
- Use it as an app launcher.
- Add your home folder to quickly access anything.
By taking advantage of Finder aliases, you can create a folder that contains aliases to other folders and files, making it possible to completely customize what's shown in a folder menu. See the FAQ for more.

■ FAQ
‣ Can I show specific files and folders from various places?
You can create a folder that contains aliases to the files and folders you want to be included in the menu.
Create a folder to put aliases in and add that folder to the app. Make aliases for the files and folders you want in the menu and move the aliases into the folder you just made.

An alias is a shortcut to an app, file, or folder that you can keep anywhere on your Mac. Right-click an item in Finder and select “Make Alias” to make one.
