I've got more icons in my bar than you've got on your website. You could just scan a few "favourite menulet" pages[0] to bulk add stuff, should take a small amount of time.

Here's some content for you http://snpy.in/nNlirJ in order: Caffeine, DragonDrop, Keyboard Maestro, 1Password, Hazel, Snappy, DayOne, aText, f.lux, Dropbox, Mail Notifr and then the standard OS ones.

You can probably find 100 more just on first page of google.

Maybe changing your site to something like "menulet database.com" and collect them like that would have a stronger audience though (I know I'd be first i line).

[0] There used to be blogs dedicated to this very thing in the past.

    Thanks for the feedback and the screenshot! Yes, there are only a few icons on the site currently, I just wanted to show the concept and get feedback before I put more effort into that.

    I haven't even heard of the term menulet, will look into this.

Author here. When I'm at a meeting and a colleague of mine is presenting something I often wonder what's that app they have in their menu bar. But I rarely ask because I don't want to interrupt the presentation and by the end of it I usually forget.

So I put together this simple page listing a few apps. For now it's macOS only and only has a few icons. Any comments?

A thousand years ago when people installed stuff.
