Forge is retiring their old APIs on March 31th.
F-Bar has been rebuilt to keep working.

Coming soon!

The native macOS menu bar companion for Laravel Forge


Forge already has a great web UI. F-Bar doesn’t replace it. 
It puts the fast, frequent actions where they belong: in your menu bar.

Written in Swift. No Electron bloat.
Also available on iOS for monitoring, notifications, and emergency actions on the go.

Download for macOS
Get iOS-app

Why the menu bar?

Because that’s where the frequent actions belong.
The Forge dashboard is still there for complex configuration.
F-Bar is for the 10-second tasks you repeat throughout the day.

Negligible RAM usage.
It’s not a web browser living in your status bar.
