    A highly customizable macOS status bar replacement

  • Yes, I restarted my mac several times but this seems to persist. I am indeed not using any virtual Touch Bar simulators, there is barely anything installed on this machine. The menu bar is a small project of mine, you can find it on GitHub. Maybe it has to do with SideCar as someone else noticed, because I have used SideCar with my iPad once.

    Use the Touch Bar on any Mac

  • Did you try a restart? It’s bizarre that’s it’s using so much virtual memory too. Only thing I could think of it virtual Touch Bar simulator, but I think you would probably know if you were using that lol. Is it possible there’s an app doing something similar? Also, side note, what do you use to rearrange your menu bar? It looks great.
