XMenu: Tom’s Budget Software Pick

XMenu adds up to six new menu items to the Apple menu bar. These new menu items contain five defined categories (Applications, Developer, Home, Documents, Snippets) and one free-form category that lets you create your own menu items.

XMenu

For long-time Mac users, XMenu is the reincarnation of the old Apple menu from System 9 and earlier. Back then you could easily add files, folders, and applications to the Apple menu, and quickly launch your favorite items with a click or two of the mouse.

XMenu automatically populates predefined categories with all of the items from the associated location. For instance, the Application menu will be filled with all of the files and folders in your Applications directory. But it’s the user-defined menu option that I like the most. You can build your own menus of just the items you want, as well as sub-menus to help in organization and retrieval.

XMenu is simple to use and has plenty of options. It includes a PDF that explains how to create your own menu system.

XMenu is free and available for downloading from the DEVONtechnologies web site.
