A tiny newsfeed directly on the macOS Menu Bar. Seamlessly track multiple sources like Reddit, Twitter, and Hacker News.

Hey Product Hunt! Barbell is a tiny news ticker for the macOS menu bar. I get really distracted by notifications, and don’t always want to open newsfeeds, so this way I’m able to glance and only click on the news I find interesting. For me personally this has quickly become one of my essential macOS tools. Current features include: A max character length, refresh rate, mute for 1 hour, and sources from HN, Twitter, and Reddit. In the future I’d like to add support for RSS, a more advanced history, and integration with focus modes. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know, I’d like to make it as useful as possible.

Love the idea! Congrats on the launch :-)

Interesting idea. Congratulations!
