Getting Started with Shortcut Bar

Shortcut Bar is a menu bar app that gives you lightning-quick access to your most-used files, folders, apps, web links, text snippets, and more. It sits in your menu bar and stays out of the way until you need it.

First Launch

When you first open Shortcut Bar, the app places a star icon in your menu bar at the top of your screen. You will also see the Settings panel, which is your starting point for setting up the app.

To begin adding shortcuts, click on the Manage Shortcuts tab in the Settings panel.

Adding Your First Shortcut

1. In the Manage Shortcuts panel, click the + button next to Shortcut Groups to create a new group.
2. Type a name for your group (for example, "Work" or "Projects").
3. Click the circle next to the group name to choose a group icon color.
4. Select your new group under Shortcut Groups.
5. Click the + button next to Manage Files, Folders & Web Bookmarks on the right side.
6. A Finder window will appear -- select the file, folder, or app you want to add and click Open.

Using Shortcut Bar

To access your shortcuts, click the star icon in your menu bar. A dropdown menu will appear showing all your shortcut groups and items.

• Double-click an item to open it.
• Click a group name to collapse or expand it.

Deleting Shortcuts

To remove a shortcut or group:

1. Open the Manage Shortcuts panel in Settings.
2. Select the shortcut item or group you want to remove.
3. Click the - button.
4. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

You cannot undo a deletion, so make sure you want to remove the item before confirming.

Reordering Shortcuts

You can drag and drop both groups and individual items within the Manage Shortcuts panel to change their order in the dropdown menu.
