Requirements: Mac OS X 10.8 or later

CustomMenu lets you build your own global menu containing your favorite apps, files and folders. Once created, you can easily open apps and files or browse folders and access their contents from any app with your CustomMenu.

An OS X Dock usually contains running apps, often used apps, files, folders, and minimized windows.  By adding items to CustomMenu instead to your dock, you can keep your dock clean and clear but still have them instantly and systemwide accessible.

CustomMenu-Customize Window

Easily create your custom menu by:

  1. creating one or more groups
  2. adding items to your group

Within your custom menu, you can:

  • click to open an app, file or folder
  • ⌘-click to show the app, file or folder in the Finder
  • browse and access folder contents

Quickly access your CustomMenu anytime, even when working in full-screen mode.

I look forward to future updates to CustomMenu, but even now, it’s a great utility for quickly accessing your favorite apps, files, and folders from within any app—even when you’re using an app in full-screen mode.

Instead of digging into the Finder, from whichever app you’re using at the moment, all your apps and files and folders are merely a click away. CustomMenu is well done, elegant, should be included in OS X, but is a bargain price anyway.
