Live scores in your Mac's menu bar

The menu bar shows the live pinned match in a compact form: both teams, the score and the clock or overs. Numbers roll when they change, so a goal or a boundary catches your eye without stealing focus.

Pin up to three matches. The one that is live gets the menu bar; the others wait their turn. Pins clear themselves at the end of match day, so there is nothing to tidy up.

Click the score and a card opens, tinted in both teams' colours. It puts the situation into words, the way a commentator would:

• Cricket: “India need 30 runs from 10 balls”, with both innings and the batters at the crease
• Football: the scorers with their minutes, penalties, own goals and red cards
• Racing: the podium, the gaps and every session of the weekend
• Esports: each map with its round score

Click the ScoresMac icon for the dropdown: a sport picker with the number of live matches in each, then yesterday's results, today's matches and tomorrow's fixtures, grouped by league. Hover any match to pin it.

Press ⌥⌘S from any app to open it from the keyboard.

When something big happens, the menu bar flashes in the team's colour: goals, wickets, red cards, maps won and the final result, each with its own chime. You can turn the sounds off in Settings and keep the flashes.
