What is Barstool?

Barstool, the mini-menubar meant for macOS.

Barstool provides all the essential controls you need, 24/7, next to your notch. It lets you free up the space taken by the menubar, all while still having access to the time, your calendar, brightness, volume, and now-playing media.

Unlike other notch apps, Barstool doesn't hide. It blends in with the new macOS look, and is proudly visible. It shows on your lock screen, on every space, and above every app. You can also hide it anytime with a configurable keyboard shortcut.
