So you liked the last [list](https://dev.to/sarthology/best-open-source-tools-for-developers--300f)? Awesome, I have a new list of MenuBar apps for MacOS users. All the apps in this list are open source and free.

## 1. Itsycal 📆

This app is my personal favorite. Simple yet does everything you need to do with a calendar app. You add, edit or view any event and link it with your calendar. Its Design is customizable. It also has a *Dark theme*. Btw if you are in to productivity, highly recommend you to check my latest article on morning [routines](https://medium.com/naturehub/the-most-effective-morning-routine-of-all-5f947d8e1883)

## 2. Katana ✂️

Such a powerful tool but not that popular, we have Katana on our list next. If you take a lot of screenshots and your desktop is always full of screenshots check Katana out. It automatically uploads the screenshot and copies the link on your clipboard. **No More Clustered Desktop.**

## 3. Youtube Downloader 📹

I can tell you, this was the best find. All the other MenuMeter apps were paid but this one is free and Open Source. It has a lot of customisation that you can play around with like color, type of reading, visualisation of data etc.
