MaxMenus is great. It is unmistakable true. I've been using MaxMenus for years and it's superb in use in every way. MaxMenus has much functions that are farther stronger and more abundant than FinderPop. And, it is a very excellent tool far used easily. A lot of friends of me and me strongly support keeping the version improvement of MaxMenus through all eternity.

Version 1.5.1

It's Xmas 2019 and I am using MaxMenus on Mojave 10.14.6 with no problems. I cannot get it to auto load on boot but I just go into the System Preferences and start it up each time. It has been a wonderful friend. I am using version 1.6 and the same password I used 15 years ago. Apple systems come and go but Max is still here and always faithful.

It is Xmas 2019 and I'm running MaxMenus on Mojave 10.14.6 with no issues. I cannot get it to auto load at start, but I just go to System Preferences and turn it on each time I start. A wonderful friend for many years! I'm using version 1.6 and the same password I had from 15 years ago.

Anyone know if MM will be ported to 64 bit? I am well aware of lack of development, that it and LiteSwitch are available "as is".

MaxMenus works as well on Sierra macOS as before. The only issue is reported in my prior comments. This remains my most favorite Mac utility after many, many years of use. I only wish it were still supported - indeed updated for the latest OS.

Long-time big fan of MaxMenus here. I recently upgraded to Sierra and now I cannot create new Hot Keys in MaxMenus. I can select an application, but when I try to assign a hot key, it won't take it. Won't let me enter anything into that field. Are you having that problem, XCOXCO? Anybody else willing to test it? Wonder if it's a feature now lost for good, or maybe it's something wrong on my end. Would love to get feedback.

Help? Does anyone else have problems reordering menus items in maxMenus running on Sierra. Here, many years later, MaxMenus still remains my most important utility. The best, still. Why can't someone write a fully updated version - why can't Apple integrate its terrific functionality into the OS itself?

Still working great with 10.10 and 10.11.6! Anyone about Sierra, 10.12 ?

No problems with Sierra (10.12). Amazing that it still works flawlessly even though it is no longer actively maintained.

This is a question,
Could you tell me URL address of the home page which can download MaxMenus?

Hi regis4.
Thank you very much for telling me.
I could download MaxMenus 1.6.

Proteron LLC is gone, but MaxMenus 1.6b2 is still available for download at "Ammon Skidmore's old apps": http://sysbeep.com/ That page shows the companion LiteSwitch X prefPane was updated for 10.9 and became freeware. Since MaxMenus has not been updated, a new user would need a registration code, and there's no way to buy one. Sigh. It's a shame MaxMenus is no longer supported because it was definitely the "best of breed."

Totally agree! It's a pity Proteron didn't make it freeware before closing. :-(
I wonder if we could share our SN here, as the app has been discontinued and the dev's gone... I suppose it would be considered piracy, anyway. :-/

This irreplaceable app keeps working on 10.9!!! The only glitch is "menubar empty area" commands that don't work, you have to assign a shortcut to make them appear under your pointer. Still downloadable at cnet. ;-)

The publisher's website is "forsale", and MacWorld reports that MaxMenus is apparently abandoned (http://www.macworld.com/article/2019731/mac-gems-custommenu-provides-quick-access-to-your-favorite-apps-files-and-folders.html#tk.nl_macwk).

Found this installation on another site and it works for 10.8.x and should work for earlier OS-Xs: "Install using the installer, then right click on the installer. Show package Contents. Navigate to Contents>Resources. Drag the MaxMenus app to your applications folder. System Preferences>Users&Groups. Put MaxMenus app (from Applications folder) into the Login items list." Makes sense - app is buried in a "wrapper" to form the prefpane.

mac.majorgeeks.com This is one "another" site. It may not be the same one that DeaconJohn is keeping to himself.

I am having no problems with MM & 10.8. Indeed MM grows a bit long in the tooth, and as the developer(s) seem to have retired, I can but hope they sell their rights/code and allow others to carry on with their good works. I have tried the competition, and have yet to find anything that is suitable.
