Changelog

Every feature, fix and refinement shipped to Dynamic Menu Bar, newest release first. The app checks for updates on its own; the current version is 0.9.3, and the download is always the latest build.

  1. 0.9.3 The launch release

    The build the site launched with: everything the menu bar can be on macOS 26 Tahoe, a 7-day trial of all of it, and updates that arrive on their own.

    New
    • Live mode: the bar mirrors the screen just under it as vertical color bands, sampled at 10 to 120 fps.
    • Solid, Multicolor (up to 10 stops) and Hue drift color styles, with Fade and Background blur to soften any of them.
    • Full Bar and floating Pill shapes, rounded overlay corners, and rounded display corners with placement per corner.
    • Rise and Spread entrance animations, and a light beam that follows the pointer along the top edge.
    • Music visualizer: bars or waves at up to 120 Hz, Mono, Solid, Rainbow, Palette or Artwork colors, trail and glow, and a progress bar with ⌥-seek and ⌥-arrow track controls.
    • Per-app profiles, excluded apps, and global shortcuts for the master switch, the overlay, the visualizer, the progress bar and the corners.
    • Always on, sampling that pauses while the pointer is in the menu bar, and an overlay that can render behind windows.
    • A 7-day free trial of every feature from the welcome tour, license activation in Settings › License, and in-app updates.
