Menubar Electron is a lightweight JavaScript library for creating desktop applications with persistent menu bar (Mac) or system tray (Windows/Linux) icons/interfaces, allowing developers to build utility apps that live in the user’s system bar and open a small window or popup when clicked. It serves as a wrapper around frameworks like Electron or Node GUI backends, abstracting common tasks such as positioning the popup window, handling click events, and integrating native tray interactions without writing platform-specific code. The library makes it easy to build cross-platform utilities like clipboard managers, quick note popups, status displays, or background tools that users access from the bar icon without filling taskbars or docks. menubar handles the lifecycle of the UI window, system tray icon, and related events so developers can focus on the application logic rather than boilerplate integration.
