A helpful, searchable guide to FolderyMenu.

FolderyMenu is about one thing: keeping the folders and files you use the most in a curated, quickly-accessible place in your Mac's always-visible menu bar.

What FolderyMenu does

FolderyMenu gives you a curated shortcut area in your Mac’s top menu bar. Instead of reopening the same project folders, estimates, price lists, PDFs, screenshots, and working files all day, you keep them one click away.

Always visible

The menu bar is always there, so your most-used items stay close no matter what app you are in.

Curated, not cluttered

FolderyMenu works best as a hand-picked working set, not a copy of your whole drive.

Fast to scan

Sort, search, preview, pin, and consolidate content so the right file is easier to spot before you open it.

Getting started

Click the FolderyMenu icon in the menu bar.
That is your quick-access home base.
Add a few folders and files you return to often.
Good first choices are Desktop, Documents, Downloads, a current client folder, or a few active PDFs.
Pin the items you never want to hunt for.
Think invoices, a current proposal, your uploads folder, or an everyday reference folder.
Try sorting and manual order.
Use sorting when you want the app to organize things for you. Use manual order when you want your own custom top-to-bottom arrangement.
Use Help as your reference.
The in-app Help explains what features do, when to use them, and how to build a menu that stays fast and useful.

Best first setup: add only the folders and files you truly use often. A smaller, curated list is faster to scan and easier to trust.

Real-world examples

Home and personal

Keep travel plans, receipts, a tax folder, a scans folder, and a few current PDFs ready in the menu bar.

Example: “Downloads”, “2026 Taxes”, “House Documents”, “Trip to Seattle”, and “Car Insurance.pdf”.

Work and client files

Keep active client folders, estimate folders, current price lists, screenshots, and proposal drafts one click away during the workday.

Example: “Acme Estimates”, “Spring Price List.csv”, “Client Screenshots”, and “Proposal Draft.pdf”.

Why the Help section matters

The Help section is meant to be a practical reference, not filler. It explains what each feature is good for, how to set up a cleaner menu, when to use Foldery Folder, when to consolidate, and how to search in a way that matches how you work.
