Overview:
Download app v3.5.6 || Purchase
Note - App Signing:
I’ve renewed my app signing certificate, which may require you to manually download v3.5.6 and install - instead of the auto-update being able to work. All future updates (from v3.5.6 forwards) will use this new certificate, so should download automatically from the base of v3.5.6. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Extras
Note
TextBar is limited by the available space in your MenuBar - which is dependent on screen resolution and the number of other items being displayed. If you find that you run out of MenuBar space, then MacBartender is a fantastic app to free some space.
