IP in menu bar
IP in Menu Bar is a lightweight system utility for macOS that displays your computer's current IP address in the menu bar, making it instantly accessible without opening Network Settings or terminal. It typically shows both local (LAN) and public IP addresses and is useful for network troubleshooting, remote access setup, and quick reference when working with networked services. The app is distributed by Monkey Bread Software and runs quietly in the background.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about whether a native Apple Silicon build of IP in Menu Bar is available. The app is maintained by Monkey Bread Software, and you should contact the developer directly to confirm whether native support has been added. With Apple removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is important to know the app's status sooner rather than later — your Intel-only copy will stop launching on that release. Visit the Monkey Bread Software website or check for an in-app update mechanism to see if a newer version with Apple Silicon support is available. If the developer confirms no native build is planned, consider using a native alternative such as iStat Menus (which includes IP address display among many other system stats), or the free Network Radar utility which displays network information natively on Apple Silicon.
