Finbar 1.7.3

Roey Biran (Reddit):

Finbar reimagines the Mac’s built–in menu bar search with great features such as fuzzy filtering and tracking of recently selected menu items — without sacrificing an ounce of speed. With Finbar, you’ll unlock the menu bar’s true potential as a native, ubiquitous command palette.

[…]

Traverse the most complex of menu bar hierarchies with just a few keystrokes: Finbar turns every menu bar into a browsable outline, just like the Finder does for your file system. And selecting menu items containing other items will scope the search just to the nested items.

[…]

Finbar will automatically pick up any shell scripts or AppleScript files placed inside a special folder and integrate them with the rest of the menu bar.

I was curious to test it, but the download link has an invalid certificate… Not ideal :-\

Hi, Finbar’s dev here. What your experience is very weird, the app has been downloaded many times and it’s the first time I’m hearing about such a thing. What link did you follow exactly? The one on my home page?

The link is fine now :-) I guess the certificate issue was addressed soon after I tried.

It could be that a vpn/wifi/isp was presenting an invalid connection cert, because the Finbar certificate has not been updated recently.

@matt, the .dmg is hosted by BackBlaze. It’s not directly on the Finbar website. I suspect that the (shared) Backblaze server in question was temporarily blacklisted on my network.

Regardless though, I’m still playing around with Finbar. The app does a good job at finding menu items. The question though is whether or not it’ll make me switch from my present routines with Alfred or KeyCue.
