What if you could add these sites right to your Mac's menu bar instead? One click and you could open YouTube Music or Instagram in a floating window on top of everything else? That’s possible using the MenubarX app, one of my favorite recent discoveries for my MacBook.
How to use the MenubarX app to add any website to the Mac menu bar
Here's how it works. On the app's phone-like interface, search for a site in the Google bar up top. Then, simply navigate to the website and click away, minimize it, or close the app to save it. Once the website is added, it’s favicon will show up in the menu bar.
Or, if you want to save one of the pre-built web apps to your menu bar, you can simply click on it from MenubarX's home screen. The home screen will also show open pages as their own apps.

As soon as you open a website, let's say Lifehacker, the MenubarX icon on top will be updated to the Lifehacker favicon, and you'll see the entire website in its mobile view, floating on top of everything else on the screen.

In the Auto Refresh section, you can choose how often to automatically refresh a page. For example, you can add a news site here, and set it to refresh automatically every 30 minutes. Or perhaps every 5 minutes for X or Instagram.
Lastly, if you’re paying for MenubarX Pro, you can also enable ad-blocking by default. The MenubarX Pro upgrade costs $6.99. It’s a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited tabs and bookmarks, plus gives you an option to add custom window shortcuts, custom website icons, and a custom home page (if you wish). MenubarX is also available in the Setapp app subscription service, where you can access more than 260 paid apps for a monthly fee of $9.99.
