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

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.
