# Bartender ships no command-line tool; the name is the executable inside

# Bartender.app, which is what a consumer watching processes sees.

# Same as aerospace: the only published mark is a 1024px app icon, cached

# downscaled by web/scripts/cache-icon.sh.

# Bartender is a direct download rather than an App Store app, so its defaults

# land in the ordinary preferences domain. The two locations it writes under

# the user's home are named in the Homebrew cask's zap stanza

# (https://formulae.brew.sh/api/cask/bartender.json):

# ~/Library/Preferences/com.surteesstudios.Bartender.plist and

# ~/Library/Application Support/Bartender <major version> — the support

# directory carries the version in its name (Bartender 6 today, Bartender 5

# before it), hence the glob.

# [preferences] and [appData] are ~/Library/Preferences and

# ~/Library/Application Support; the entry is macOS-only, so there is no other

# platform for those roots to stand for.

paths = [

"[preferences]/com.surteesstudios.Bartender.plist",

"[appData]/Bartender */",

]

# The same zap list keeps Bartender's caches somewhere else entirely

# (~/Library/Caches/com.surteesstudios.Bartender), so nothing above needs

# carving out.

exclude = []

# No whole-file credential among the paths above. Bartender's subscription

# receipt is held by RevenueCat in its own directory,

# ~/Library/Application Support/com.surteesstudios.Bartender.revenuecat, which

# is deliberately not listed here.

secret = []

# No machine_lines: the preferences are the menu-bar arrangement, hotkeys and

# per-item rules the user set up, which is the whole reason to carry them.

# macOS property lists have no matcher in this schema anyway — `format` covers

# toml, yaml and json only — so a plist entry is paths and nothing else.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/bartender. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.
