Your Bambu Lab printer, one click away in the menu bar.

Bambu Bar is a native macOS app that shows your 3D printer's progress, temperatures and filament without opening Bambu Studio or Bambu Handy. Glance at the menu bar for percent and time left, click for everything else, or keep a widget on your desktop.

Built with Swift and SwiftUI. Printer data stays local, with no app analytics. The GitHub build is free to use. Optional supporter licenses enable automatic updates; the Mac App Store edition is independent.

Now on Windows too: the same app lives in the notification area on Windows 10 and 11. See Windows.

Why this app?

The printer is in another room, and the slicer is a big app to keep open just to see how long is left. Bambu Bar keeps the answer in the menu bar: 64% · 1h 02m. Click it and a panel shows the job, the stage, temperatures, the spool in use and how much filament is left, with pause, stop, light and speed controls right there.

It talks to the printer directly over your network, the same way Bambu Studio does in LAN mode, so it works with the printer still bound to your Bambu account and nothing goes through a cloud.
