Recent Menu
Recent Menu is a macOS utility that adds a "Recent" submenu to the Finder menu bar, providing quick access to recently opened files, folders and applications. It sits in the menu bar and intercepts file-access events to build a chronological list, allowing users to quickly jump to recently used items without navigating through the file system. It is typically used by Mac power users and professionals who work with many files and want faster access to items they have been actively editing.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find detailed information about whether Recent Menu has received a native Apple Silicon build. The app's developer page does not appear in current search results and there is no visible recent release history. Since today is May 2026, you have approximately 27 months before macOS 28 removes Rosetta 2 in September 2028, so there is still time to find a solution — but if the app is no longer actively maintained, you should begin exploring alternatives now. Contact the developer ([email protected] or via the app's website if still active) to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is planned. If the app appears abandoned and you need a replacement, look into open-source alternatives like Open With Pro (Free) or the native Finder-integrated services that ship with recent macOS versions, which may reduce your reliance on a separate utility.
