Classic Menu

Works for me in Mac OSes 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6. I wrote simple applescripts for sleep, shutdown, restart and log out menu items and put them in the appropriate places. Yes, I know this is not as good as Fruit Menu, but, hey, it works in Snow Leopard while Fruit Menu does not.

I love this app! Probably relates to how I think and process my organizing. I wish I were able to add a second Classic Menu to my menu bar. Is that even possible? I also wish I could add a second and third dock menu on the remaining sides of my screen that aren't synched with other monitors. Might as well dream....

After all these years, after so many OS updates, but Classic Menu is still working, even with macOS 10.12.1. I know it hasn't been updated in almost 10 years, but it has survived all OS changes. It is still indispensable for me. Great job! I would like this gem to be featured much more prominently.

I love Classic Menu but it's finally started showing its age. After I upgraded to OS X 10.11, it still basically works, but rather than appearing directly under the Apple icon as it should, the menu now appears a bit to the right. Does anyone know a way to fix it? I'd switch to another app but haven't found one that modifies the Apple menu.

I've used and loved this for many years, and it's rock solid (and beautifully programmed....see the "about" note for all sorts of config options, all ignorable if you're not a geek). It works flawlessly in 10.10.41, just as it has with every OS since 10.5 (Leopard).

I'm still using Classic menu in Lion 10.7.5 and Mountain Lion 10.8.2 It's a little finicky. Several times on Lion it was working fine one day and mysteriously would not launch the next. Once with a Lion system update - it started working again. So it quit working again today - After reapplying the 10.7.5 Combo update again and doing usual system maintenance stuff with no success resurrecting it - I tried deleting the System Caches using Cocktail. That fixed it. Working fine again. Interestingly never had any problem under Mountain Lion. I've been using this utility for a decade and like its configurability to launch any app or document I want quickly. I'm not a fan of LaunchPad. As an alternative for those having problems - try xMenu. It can be configured to work the same way - just with the menu to the right on the menubar.

This one is one of my favorites. Far stabler and simpler in design than Fruit Menu. And now it's open source.
