I would not. I'm not paying $40 for a taskbar replacement. And not for two years of updates and a two device limit on top. Maybe if it was $10, I could consider it. Prices for macOS apps are insane in my opinion. Everyone wants to charge yearly or every two years now too. | ||

They’re not insane. It costs $99 a year just to be able to write Mac apps at all. Any sort of buy-once app on macOS is unsustainable to the developer. They are paying Apple $99 a year forever. If you want cheap/free apps get off of Apple’s ecosystem and switch to Linux. | ||

I second this! As a lite Mac user, $40 is a bit steep. I'll manage without boringBar no matter how great it is. | ||

Honestly, I have tried to really cut down on my usage of 3rd-party dependencies when possible. In a way, it's kind of freeing. Whatever I still need, I write myself. If I cannot write it, then I try to find something FOSS. If I find nothing, then I consider purchasing something. For example, I am rolling my own window manager (that needs some much needed TLC). I ditched Alfred for Spotlight. Though Alfred is better, I will survive just fine. And the list goes on. I am not trying to take a dig at the OP. I am sure he or she put effort into this application. But I am genuinely curious -- does anybody actually need this software? Cmd+Tab, a decent window manager, and Spotlight would solve the same problems for free. | ||
