I’m trying to make a simple app that sits on the Mac OSX menu bar and alerts users of updates on our website.
I’ve been trying to search for documents on how to do this, but no luck so far. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras
They are built on NSMenuExtra class. Here is a small tutorial on the topic. Here is another one. They’re quite outdated but they should help.
