Support Pelmet

Pelmet is free, MIT licensed, and has no paid tier — that is not going to change. If it keeps your menu bar tidy, here are the ways to help, cheapest first.

  • Star the repository

    The cheapest thing you can do, and it genuinely helps other people find Pelmet.

    Open on GitHub
  • Report what breaks

    A precise bug report with your macOS version and what you were doing is worth more than most pull requests.

    File an issue
  • Send a pull request

    CONTRIBUTING.md has a two-minute setup guide and a map of the codebase. Small PRs are very welcome.

    Read CONTRIBUTING
  • Contribute financially

    One-time or monthly, through Polar. It funds macOS compatibility work — every major release breaks something in the menu bar — and new features. Nothing in the app is gated behind it.

What contributions pay for

Being specific, since “support the project” usually is not.

  • The Apple Developer Program membership that makes signed, notarized builds possible.
  • Compatibility work each time a new macOS release changes menu bar behaviour.
  • Time spent on the roadmap items — custom hotkeys and per-item rules.
