Publisher's Description
From DEVONtechnologies:
This program brings back the Apple Menu to Mac OS X and includes also a complete application launcher. By adding one or more global menus to the right side of the menu bar you can easily access your preferred applications, folders (and subfolders), documents and files. Furthermore there's no explicit need for a configuration (e.g. creating lots of folders and aliases or adding items to user-defined setups) - just activate the menus you like. All menus and submenus update themselves automatically just like the good old Apple Menu so it's not necessary to refresh them manually. In addition, XMenu optionally displays small or large icons and follows aliases and symbolic links. Finally, please note that contrary to most other solutions, this is neither a hack ("haxie") nor an unofficial menu extra.

"Works great on intel iMac"
Version: XMenu 1.7
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Fruitmenu, in which I have invested $7, does not work on intel currently. So I sought out alternatives. This is very nice, and I also like the fact that it is not a hack. If only there was a way to get it into the Blue apple thing on the left.
Great work, and thanks for making it free. -
"Works great!!! Amazing how much I missed this..."
Version: XMenu 1.7
Summary
...feature.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I never understood why Apple took away this feature in the first place? Every thing works great so far. All sub-folders, files and aliases appear and work just fine.
The only thing I'd like to see added in future versions would be the option to pull down and switch between active applications as well. -
"Great app could be even better"
Version: XMenu 1.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This application provides a great service to those of us who miss the old Apple Menu, and the ability to put items of our choice in that menu. But there are 2 things that could make this great program even better.
1. I would like to be able to replace the basic icons which appear in the menu bar with other icons (either the regular OS X set, or from custom sets). Replacing the icons which appear in the menu bar should be as simple as replacing the icons for any folder.
2. I would like to be able to create user-defined menus for the menu bar. -
"perfect, thanks!"
Version: XMenu 1.4
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is great. Was using Yadal for a year, but it started getting buggy and couldn't find developer to fix. this is great. light, easy and FREE. Great job guys, thank you. wish you could create more user-defined menus, i'd make a dozen. -
"Drag & drop needed"
Version: XMenu 1.4
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
If so, I would give 6 stars! One of the things Popup Finder (God, how many time... Was this the right name?) and other utilities had in OS9, was to can drag & drop in & out! A-Dock and other let me drag in, not out to another destination to make order like using the Finder itself. But.. great. -
"Love XMenu"
Version: XMenu 1.4
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Agree that it's a simple, elegant and free way to restore the Apple menu.
Don't understand why people write neg reviews of freeware just because they don't want the function it offers. XMenu provides access to my many applications much, much faster than a dock icon would. -
"**** OUTSTANDING !!!! ****"
Version: XMenu 1.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This little program is simple, elegant and free. It does what it says it will do and does it well. THANK YOU DEVON TECH !!!! I HAVE MY APPLE MENU BACK ... HOOORAAAAAAAAY !!!! -
"great little helper!"
Version: XMenu 1.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
this little thing rocks. now everything i need really is only one mouseclick away. version 1.3 is also significantly faster. i am now perfectly happy with it.
my only wish would be the good old coloured apple-icon in a future version :-)
thans a lot for this utility.
and please: websterphreaky, read the manual before posting such nonsense. thanx. -
"What a waste of time."
Version: XMenu 1.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
None of these stupid programs (XMenu, Fruit menu, Rocket Launcher, etc.) does any more than you can do by just draging you darn Applications folder to your Dock!!!
