And now, a brief message from your friend, the Mac menu bar:<\/p>\n

Hi! \ud83d\udc4b\ud83c\udffb I\u2019m the menu bar! I always love making File \u2192 New Friends<\/code>. We might have first met in the early 1980s, but I\u2019ve only gotten more powerful and helpful (Format \u2192 Font \u2192 Humble Brag<\/code>).<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always had opinions. During the 90s, I was the one who told you you were exceptional every night (Special \u2192 Sleep<\/code>). I have constant viewpoints about what time it is. And I don\u2019t mean to Window \u2192 Minimize<\/code> my contributions, but even Siri wants to hang out with me.<\/em><\/p>\n

I have enjoyed capturing your full attention for some years. But now I\u2019ve decided to share the Spotlight. Menu bar extras have arrived in SwiftUI! <\/em><\/p>\n

So here’s your challenge: Build me a menu bar extra in SwiftUI that I\u2019d wear with pride. I\u2019d drop down with joy if you\u2019d make a little utility for me, and I’d be a click above ecstatic if you gave me the honor of hosting a small portion of your app.<\/em><\/p>\n
