A demo status bar app for macOS:

This is a little app we created for the team at https://kyan.com to access popular services and also to see what's playing on our office jukebox.

It's also acts as a bit of a template for building apps that run in the status bar on macOS. It includes:

• How to adds external links via NSMenu and NSMenuItem
• How to add a SwiftUI View as a custom menu item
• How to add a SwiftUI Preview with example data
• How to load remote JSON and render the UI using Async/Await
• How to load an image with progress using AsyncImage
• How to add an About pane
• How to add a custom icon for the app
• How to include the Sparkle update library for easy updates
• How to read information from your Info.plist file

The app is written using Swift and SwiftUI and is currently targeting macOS 12 (Monterey) and greater.
