Common questions
Where is Tribar after I open it?
Tribar lives in the menu bar at the top right of your screen, next to Control Center. It has no Dock icon or window. Click it for the dropdown; right-click it for Settings and Quit. On a MacBook with a notch, a full menu bar can hide icons behind the notch, so try quitting another menu bar app.
Why don’t I see Wi-Fi network names?
macOS only shows network names to apps with Location access. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services and turn on Tribar. Tribar never reads or stores your location.
My iPhone hotspot doesn’t appear in the Wi-Fi list.
On your iPhone, open Settings → Personal Hotspot and turn on “Allow Others to Join”, then keep that screen open for a moment. Hotspots only advertise themselves while that’s on.
Why can’t I see my AirPods’ battery?
Apple doesn’t let App Store apps read AirPods’ earbud and case levels. Tribar shows battery levels for Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad, and lets you connect or disconnect any paired device.
The energy list says “Show”, not “Quit”.
App Store apps aren’t allowed to quit other apps. “Show” brings that app to the front so you can quit it yourself with ⌘Q.
How do I restore Tribar Pro on another Mac?
Pro unlocks automatically on any Mac signed in to the same Apple Account, and for your Family Sharing group. If it doesn’t, right-click Tribar’s icon → Settings → Learn more… → Restore Purchases.
How do I uninstall Tribar?
If you saved Wi-Fi passwords in Tribar, remove them first in Settings → General → Saved Wi-Fi passwords. Then right-click Tribar’s icon → Quit, and drag Tribar from Applications to the Bin. If you turned on Launch at login, turn it off first in Settings → General.
Does Tribar slow down my Mac or drain the battery?
No. It uses well under 1% of one CPU core while idle and only reads detailed stats while the dropdown is open.
