Tip: the apps I have on the OS X menu bar

When I wrote this article teaching you how to reset Bluetooth on your Mac, some readers ask that so many apps were the ones I have on menu bar. For in this post I will show them all, exactly in the order they appeared in the blessed screenshot.

Just click on it and your Mac won't go to sleep anymore. There are still some interesting options, like leaving the app activated for a certain period of time.

It cleans external disks, in addition to also informing in a simple way the amount of storage space that they still have available.

From now on we have shortcut icons for native OS X apps / services: AirPlay (to mirror my screen on Apple TV), Time Machine (automatic backup on my AirPort Time Capsule), Bluetooth, Sound, Wi-Fi , battery status, Date and Time, quick change of users (if someone wants to use my computer I switch to the “Guest” account), Spotlight and Notification Center.
