- hmokiguess 6mo agouBar looks amazing as well, and it’s not a subscription, I really like boringBar but can’t justify a subscription tho
- starkparker 6mo agohttps://lawand.io/taskbar/ https://lawand.io/taskbar/ as well and https://noteifyapp.com/activedock/ https://noteifyapp.com/activedock/, which is less extreme but has a start menu-like launcher option Both have one-time/lifetime purchase options. Taskbar is $25 one-time with a free but expiring older version. ActiveDock's one-time prices are $15 (1 year of updates, but usable forever) and $60 (lifetime updates).
- PeanutOS 6mo agoAnother alternative is https://hypercritical.co/switchglass/ https://hypercritical.co/switchglass/ ($10 upfront) really well done.
- Lawand 6mo agoThank you for mentioning my app (https://lawand.io/taskbar/ https://lawand.io/taskbar/). It's been around for a couple of years and it's considered the best alternative to uBar according to the extremely positive reviews by my users
- nguyenkien 6mo agoBoth are under 10MB, So I don't think there would be much difference.
- mynameisvlad 6mo agoI meant more in terms of featureset. uBar has a lot of features and it takes a while to get a setup that works well. Once it's set up, though, it's pretty rock solid.
- a-ve 6mo agoI have some existing issues with uBar that I have listed here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47746812 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47746812. All in all it does not seem like a polished app to me. I tried using it and I could not bring myself to buy it. The main reasons being its issues with multi-monitor support and waking up from sleep. boringBar does not have these issues.
