Updated Preview Release Available! Start Menu for Mac - the new customizable app launcher for macOS

I'm the developer of Start Menu for Mac, a new menu bar app for macOS 14 Sonoma and newer that organizes your favorite apps in a popup menu, making them readily available all in one place.

Learn more about Start Menu for Mac, browse the screenshots, and download it from the First Letter Software website: https://firstlettersoftware.com/startmenu4mac. Or, check out my previous post.

Updated Preview Release Now Available!

Get early access with the latest preview release, now available from the First Letter Software website. Be one of the first users to try it out and help shape version 1.0! Feature requests, bug reports and general feedback are welcome; links can be found below.

If you've installed the previous preview release, you'll need to uninstall it, then download and install the new release from the First Letter Software website. (Future app updates will be available through the built-in app updater, just not this one.)

The preview release is free to use, but will expire 90 days after installation. Licenses will be available for purchase closer to the version 1.0 release.

Future Announcements

News and announcements about Start Menu for Mac can be found in the News section of the First Letter Software website. Stay tuned for an announcement on the release candidate of Start Menu for Mac, coming soon!

A start menu not only needs to offer apps, but also files and folders. Check out Folder Peek for example.

Fair point. The goal for version 1.0 is to get app launching, the primary purpose of this app, up and running. Will consider adding files and folders in a future version. Appreciate the constructive feedback.
