Great App / Separators?

This is a great app. It performs a simple yet very useful function, and it does so very very well. Two things I wish they could add in the near future is the ability to add Separators to the menu, to... separate... different groups of folders for easier visual parsing, and also to completely disable the chevrons/submenus for the folders listed in the menu. If you want to just quickly access the folder, the submenu reading the content to show it slows things down noticeably and unnecessarily.

Stable and useful

I'm very picky when it comes to these kind of apps. imo, this is a very good app. It offers lots of customization options, its very stable with no issues, and the developer keeps it alive with updates. My only feature suggestion would be the ability to choose what I wanted to see in each folder. The ability to easily and quickly hide/show what I wanted in a folder would be really helpful.

Extremely useful! Responsive Developer

Folder Peek is terrific. Allowing quick access to important folders, direct from the menu bar. Now, no matter where I am in the OS or an App, I can quickly grab and get to my most important documents and folders. Further more the developer, Sindre, is extremely responsive and helpful. Great app, thank you!

Folder Peek - just the best!

Folder Peek offers the best qualities of macOS software: usefulness, customizability and beauty. Add to this superb Developer responsiveness and you have a rare find: Folder Peek is among the best menubar apps ever written. It can be a simple application launcher or a nuanced, user-defined navigator of the macOS folder and file system. I recommend this software to every mac user!

Ridiculously Good

This seems like something that should be built into MacOS. It's clean and very deep in what it can do, with unexpected niceties that make it so useful. Couldn't think of a thing that I would change. It will be on every Mac I own for as long as it exists (and so do I). Love it.

Great app and great developer!

This is an extremely useful app for putting any folder in the menubar for quick access. I made a feature request and the developer added it in a few weeks, which was amazing. Thank you!

WHattTTT??

Where have you been all my life. I've always wanted to simply put a folder into the top menu bar, have tried a few different one's that claimed they did it, but to no avail. This one is epic, simple, and works amazingly well. xoxo

I didn't know I needed this!

I use iCloud for all of my files. Everything I own is in there. This makes it super easy to browse and find what I need without having to open a new Finder window.

Great app and responsive developer

This is a great app that does exactly what I was looking for -- and more. There was one small glitch, but when I emailed the developer he fixed it in a day. Great job on the app and responsiveness!

Easy Access in Menu Bar!

Folder Peek has made accessing my important documents much easier. I love that it stays across different displays as well. Productivity game changer.

A phenominally useful app!

This is the app I didn't know existed, but that I've needed for years. If I could give it more than five stars, I would. And a tip of the hat to the developer for offering it for free.

Description

Quickly access documents, files, folders, and apps from the menu bar. Think of it as an alternative to Dock folders, just more powerful and customizable. Each folder you add gets its own menu bar icon that you can customize and move around (drag the menu bar item while holding the Command key). You can click on a file or folder in the menu to open it. If you have little menu bar space, you can also show multiple folders in a single menu bar item. See the first FAQ. Example use-cases: - Access files relating to your current project - Use it as an app launcher - Add your home folder to quickly access anything - View your most recent screenshots (see FAQ) By taking advantage of Finder aliases, you can create a folder that contains aliases to other folders and files, making it possible to completely customize what's shown in a folder menu. See the FAQ for more. ■ Features - Add multiple folders to the menu bar - Each folder can be individually customized - File preview - View and copy image & video dimensions - Drag & drop from the file submenu. - Global keyboard shortcut to show/hide each folder menu - Open a folder in a specific app - Follows aliases and symlinks - Shortcuts support ■ FAQ ‣ How can I show specific files and folders from various places? You can create a folder that contains aliases to the files and folders you want to be included in the menu. Create a folder to put aliases in and add that folder to the app. Make aliases for the files and folders you want in the menu and move the aliases into the folder you just made. ‣ What is an alias? An alias is a shortcut to an app, file, or folder that you can keep anywhere on your Mac. Right-click an item in Finder and select “Make Alias” to make one. ‣ How can I use this as an app launcher? Yes. Just add the “Applications” folder to the app. If you want to show only specific apps, follow the first FAQ. ‣ How can I show multiple directories at the top level in a single menu? Follow the first FAQ. ‣ How can I have a menu bar folder with my most recent screenshots? Make a folder to hold the screenshots and add it to the app. Open the Screenshot app, click “Options”, then “Other Location”, and choose the folder you just made. In Folder Peek, open the folder config, and change the sort order to “Date Created” and set “Max Items” to something like 20. You can find more info on the app's website. ■ Support You can contact me through the feedback button in the app or at [email protected]
