Keep the useful things close.

Download AnyaMenuBar from the Mac App Store, then open it from Applications. Look for its A icon in the macOS menu bar and click it to open the main panel.

Use Add to create shortcuts and menus. Click a shortcut to open an app, website, folder or file, or click a menu to browse its contents beside the main panel. Drag shortcuts or menus within their groups to change their order.

AnyaMenuBar requires macOS 14 or later and supports both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. The current app interface is in English.

Open Settings > Clipboard & Privacy and enable Save clipboard history. New supported copies can then appear in the Clipboard panel while AnyaMenuBar is running.

Copy returns it to the clipboard, Open launches a saved web link, and the item menu lets you edit its title, pin it or remove it. Use the star to save useful content permanently into Favourites or another menu.

Check that history is enabled and capture is not paused. Copy something new after enabling it. An excluded app, a recognised sensitive-content marker, an unsupported format or blocked macOS clipboard access can prevent capture.

Pause capture or turn off Save clipboard history before copying it. You can exclude apps by bundle identifier. These protections cannot recognise every sensitive copy, so pause capture when privacy matters.

Free includes 10 saved items in total, 3 menus and 20 clipboard history entries. Menu containers do not count as saved items. All supported content types, search, custom icons and hover previews are included.

Pro provides unlimited saved items and menus plus 100 clipboard history entries. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription. Pricing starts at €4.99; Apple shows the price for your region.

Open Settings > Plan & Usage and choose Restore purchases using the Apple Account associated with the purchase. AnyaMenuBar does not require a separate account.

No. TestFlight purchases used Apple’s test environment and do not unlock Pro in the public Mac App Store version. Purchase or restore Pro in the public app using the Apple Account associated with that App Store purchase.

Drag an image or GIF file into the app, or save supported copied media from clipboard history. Saved image and GIF thumbnails can show a larger preview when you hover.

AnyaMenuBar preserves animation when original GIF data is available, but the receiving app must also support GIF pasting. If a website copied only a still image, try dragging the original GIF file instead.

No. Copying a GIF or Giphy URL saves a link. To keep the animated content, add supported copied GIF data or drag the original GIF file into the app. Animation also depends on support in the receiving app.

Sign both Macs into the same iCloud account. Open Settings > General and enable Sync saved library with iCloud on each Mac. The first sync merges saved items. Menus, order, titles, links, saved text, original images and GIFs, custom icons and application identifiers sync. Use Sync now to check immediately. File and folder permissions must be granted separately on each Mac.

Saved-library sync does not include clipboard history. Version 1.6 adds separate optional history sync in Settings > Clipboard & Privacy. Capture/privacy preferences, excluded apps, keyboard shortcuts and local file permissions remain specific to each Mac.

Turning sync off leaves the local library and existing iCloud copy in place. Remove saved library from iCloud requires confirmation, keeps local libraries, and pauses other Macs when they reconnect. Interrupted cleanup resumes on a later connection. To upload a local library again, choose Start syncing this library again and confirm.

Read the status in Settings > General. Check your network and iCloud sign-in. An account change requires confirmation before merging your local library with another account. Free saved-item and menu limits still apply; the existing local library is retained when a remote library would exceed them.

History may be full of pinned items, existing history may exceed the current plan limit, or the content-size limit may have been reached. Review the message in the app, remove or unpin entries as appropriate, or upgrade to Pro.

The original item may have moved or macOS may require access again. Use Select file again… from the item’s actions in Settings and choose its current location.

Version 1.5 adds optional iCloud sync for the saved library. Earlier versions remain local; version 1.1 also provides library export and import in Settings > General. Clipboard history stays local unless you enable its separate sync option in version 1.6 or later. An iOS companion app is not currently available.

It removes clipboard history, including pinned history entries. With history sync on in version 1.6, deletion of known shared entries propagates to other participating Macs. With sync off it is local; existing cloud history can return if you enable sync again. It does not remove items saved into menus or Shortcuts, delete original files, or clear the current macOS clipboard.

Include the AnyaMenuBar version and build, your macOS version, what you expected, what happened, and whether it occurs every time. For panel-placement problems, mention multiple displays or an automatically hidden menu bar. Hide private content in screenshots.

Do not include passwords, Apple Account credentials, payment details or sensitive clipboard content. We will never ask for your Apple Account password.
