The Dock gets all the app attention on Mac OS X. But there's another equally important place where running apps rest: the menu bar, the only constant aspect of the Mac OS X interface. Mac Menu Bars features interesting and unique menu bar configurations from Mac users. Submit your menu bar here.

I see most of the menu bars are quite short, so I’ve decided to submit mine: xScope - To measure stuff on the screen when designing. BetterTouchTool - The #1 utility if you own Magic Mouse / Magic Trackpad or MacBook. Adium - #1 Mac Chat software. Allows me to stay in touch with my team via . OmniFocus - The best GTD Mac software, I use it to keep my to dos and keep them synced between devices. Pomodoro - Best Pomodoro Technique timer to stay productive by splitting task into chunks. Emcee - Answers the “What’s playing?” question (Bit crazy that it’s $3 now, I got it for free before the Mac App Store). Radium - Sometimes I just want to listen to something without bothering too much.
- To watch my stuff on iPad in bed. Droplr - To quickly share screenshots with my team and other people in Adium. Blast - Allows me to quickly access files and folders just changed. Dropbox - Everybody knows Dropbox, right? Sync files between computers, devices and share with people. Launch it! - Allows me to launch apps with a single hotkey. A very missing feature in Mac OS X. Little Snitch - Firewall. Size Up - To control windows from the keyboard. I am proud to say that I helped to develop it. Evernote - Notebook synched between devices. iStat Menus - RAM, CPU Temp, Fan Speed and CPU Load. Time Machine, Bluetooth, Airport, Volume, Language - Built-in Mac OS X tools. iStat Menus - Again this time to replace the flawed Mac OS X clock, this one gives me calendar access when I click it, not to mention a nicer menubar layout. Fast Users Switching - Built-in.
Also I have KeyRemap4MacBook running to remap some buttons on the keyboard. Actually I switch Keyboard Layouts using single left/right shift presses and remap cmd-space to cmd-shift-space to get rid of that awful Snow Leopard language swtich. The icon for KeyMap is removed from the menubar because it has a nice Preference Pane built-in.
Phew. That’s about it.
