MeetingBar
MeetingBar is a macOS menu bar application that turns your calendar into a one‑click meeting hub. It syncs with your calendar accounts via EventKit, displays your current or next meeting title and countdown directly in the menu bar, and lets you join or create video meetings without opening your calendar app. The app lives as a status‑item popover and can launch automatically at login, register system‑wide keyboard shortcuts, and send local notifications or full‑screen reminders before meetings.
What sets MeetingBar apart is its broad support for over fifty video‑conferencing platforms. It detects meeting URLs from virtually any service and opens them with the correct handler — all from a single click or a global hotkey. You can also create a new calendar meeting instantly from the menu bar and launch the default meeting service. The tool stores your preferences (such as display filters, notification timing, and service choices) in UserDefaults, and it can bookmark recurring meetings to streamline your workflow.
Beyond joining and creating meetings, MeetingBar provides a full meeting‑management surface inside the menu bar: you can filter which events appear, see a countdown to the next meeting, and receive dismissible alerts with configurable timing. All features are contained in a lightweight Swift‑based app designed for macOS. The project is open‑source and available on GitHub.
