Hi there,

I’m trying to add the Apps app to the Mac Menu bar and don’t know what I’m missing. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

the menubar items always require a text identifier / item name:

If you only want to show the icon, check this option:

Thanks for the quick reply. I have that checked now, and nothing is showing up in the Mac menu.
