TaskbarNovels

macOS menu bar novel reader for reading TXT files discreetly

Desktopfree

TaskbarNovels is a macOS menu bar app for reading imported TXT novels, displaying the book's text directly in the top menu bar instead of a reading window. Global keyboard shortcuts turn pages and instantly hide or show the text, and each book keeps its own saved reading position. It is aimed at readers who want to read discreetly at a desk without a visible reading window open.
