Hi ApolloRising. We don't have menu bar item by design but it is easy to add if there is good reason to have one. We wanted to avoid people checking menu bar instead of working -- preferred way is to hide controls during work phase and get 'fuzzy' idea of time left by checking at tree growth. Windowless mode is turned on in Preferences -> General -> Use transparent window. That way you can leave tree somewhere so it looks as part of the desktop (depends a lot on your wallpaper). I personally use windowless mode, move controls up, then stick a tree on second monitor, few pixels below the bottom so it looks like it is growing from the bottom edge of the screen. Please let us know more using contact form on our site. Edit: Many thanks for your support of course :)

Not sure if it is because I am running 10.9 (latest) or that I am using multiple monitors but there may be a bug in windowless mode since once I check the box it vanishes and is not available on any of the 2 monitors I am using. (Macbook pro 2014 retina). If you want I can send you a few screenshots to illustrate.

  Please do contact us if this does not help: When you switch from or to windowless mode app window does not change position at all, it only becomes transparent or not. Zen Timer uses normal window so it has to be visible in Mission Control. As a last resort, you can use 'Center and Reset Position' menu option that can be found in Window menu when Zen Timer has the focus.
