Menuist is a Finder extension that enhances both the right-click context menu and menu bar navigation for faster file operations. Formerly known as RightMenu Master, the app addresses a common limitation in macOS: Finder’s built-in context menu offers limited actions for users managing files professionally.
The core functionality extends what appears when right-clicking files or folders in Finder. Users can create new files in specific formats directly from the context menu, with support for uploading custom templates. The app includes quick preview for code files with syntax highlighting, enabling inspection of scripts or configuration files without opening a full editor.
Key features include frequently used folders access for instant navigation or opening terminal windows at specific locations. Folder access history tracks recently visited paths for easy return to previous working directories. File sharing through QR codes enables quick transfers over local networks to mobile devices. The menu bar component provides quick access to frequently used applications and folders with customizable items.
Additional capabilities include folder icon color customization, quick delete, direct image pasting into folders, file/folder locking, and custom script support for extended functionality.
Menuist requires macOS 14.0 or newer and is available on the Mac App Store ($2.99, one-time). Memory usage stays around 100MB with negligible CPU impact during normal operation.
Considerations: The app requires Finder extension permissions, necessitating security settings configuration during initial setup. Users preferring minimal system modifications should note this requirement.
Suitable for developers and power users who work extensively with files and folders, particularly those performing repetitive file management tasks who would benefit from streamlined context menu operations.
