A macOS menubar multitool — window switcher (Cmd+Tab per window), clipboard history, keyboard cleaning mode, and live network/Claude usage indicators, all in one lightweight menubar app.
- Window switcher — replaces Cmd+Tab with a switcher that cycles through individual windows instead of apps, with MRU-based ordering and arrow-key navigation.
- Clipboard history — records copied text/images (FlyCut-style); paste from history via Cmd+Shift+V.
- Keyboard cleaning mode — temporarily disables all keyboard input so the keyboard can be physically cleaned, via a live switch in the menu-bar dropdown.
- Network speed indicator — shows live download/upload speed in the menubar, with a dropdown graph of recent history.
- Claude usage indicator — shows Claude Code session/weekly usage in the menubar, colored by how close you are to the limit, similar to the Claude web app. Also available as a desktop/Notification Center widget (add "Claude Usage" from the macOS widget gallery), showing the same data without needing the app in the menu bar.
All five are implemented and shipping in Releases.

swiss_bar isn't notarized (see INSTALL.md for why), so macOS will warn about an
unidentified developer on first launch — INSTALL.md covers both ways to get past that, plus the
Accessibility/Input Monitoring permissions the app needs.
Requires Xcode 26+ and macOS 26.5+.
git clone https://github.com/mbicl/swiss_bar.git
cd swiss_bar
open swiss_bar.xcodeprojBuild & Run (⌘R) from Xcode, or from the command line:
xcodebuild -project swiss_bar.xcodeproj -scheme swiss_bar -configuration Debug build
xcodebuild test -project swiss_bar.xcodeproj -scheme swiss_bar -destination 'platform=macOS'swiss_bar is LSUIElement (no Dock icon, no app menu bar) and runs unsandboxed — several
features need a global CGEventTap and cross-process Accessibility control that don't work
under App Sandbox.
This is a personal project built one feature at a time; see CLAUDE.md for architecture notes.
