Hey everyone! 👋  
  
I’ve been building MenuSpark for a while, and it’s now available on the Mac App Store.

**The idea is simple**:

macOS still makes a lot of everyday file tasks feel slower than they should be. Creating a new file, converting an image, reading a QR code, opening the current folder in Terminal, saving clipboard content as a file, running a script, renaming files with AI, or cleaning up leftover app files usually means opening another app, using a website, writing an Automator workflow, or digging through extra steps.

MenuSpark puts those actions where I always wanted them:

**Right in the right-click menu.**

It’s a native Swift app, built for macOS, with on-device processing, no account requirement, no analytics, and no cloud upload for local file actions.

**What it does:**

**Everyday file actions**

\* Create a new empty file, including custom extensions

\* Save clipboard text or code as a file, with automatic file type detection

\* Save clipboard images directly as PNG files

\* Copy file paths, names, and folder structures

\* Pin frequently used files and folders

\* Jump to recent or custom quick folders

\* Delete files directly when you intentionally want to skip the usual extra steps



**Media tools**

\* Convert images between formats like WebP, PNG, HEIC, and PDF

\* Merge multiple images into a single PDF

\* Upscale images up to 16× on-device

\* Read QR codes directly from image files

\* Compress folders or files into ZIP and custom archive-style formats such as **.epub** or **.ipa**



**Power-user workflows**

\* Open the current location in Terminal, iTerm2, Sublime Text, or VS Code

\* Add custom scripts and commands to the menu

\* Run Python scripts, AI commands, or your own file workflows

\* Use custom icons for menu actions

\* Rename files with AI

\* Copy a folder tree for documentation, development notes, or AI prompts

\* Uninstall apps and remove related leftover files

\* Reorder and customize the menu so it fits your workflow



**Everything runs on your Mac**

The part I care about most is privacy and speed.

Image conversion, QR reading, AI upscaling, file handling, and local workflows are designed to run on-device. MenuSpark does not require an account, does not upload your files for these actions, and does not use analytics.

It’s also a native Swift app — no Electron shell, no heavy background service, and no subscription requirement.



**About Cut & Paste**

A lot of people ask about Cmd+X / Cmd+V for files.

Because global Cmd+X / Cmd+V requires Accessibility permissions that are not allowed for this kind of Mac App Store Finder extension, I split that feature into a separate companion app called **xSpark**.

**xSpark** is free and open source, so MenuSpark can stay App Store compliant while people who want file Cut & Paste still have a dedicated option.

**Pricing**

MenuSpark is free to try.

Unlock the full version with a single **$24.99** payment — no subscription required. A yearly plan is also available if you prefer.

MenuSpark is free to try, so you can test the core workflow before deciding whether it fits your setup.

I’d love feedback from other Mac users — especially what right-click actions you think macOS should have by default.
