Nice work Jack! Going to see if I can work this into my Alfred flow.

Only a small request from me - a smaller menu bar icon and/or an option to hide it altogether (though I'm using Bartender to hide it for now).

Thanks!

Right now, I'm working on making it faster and more stable before I move to cosmetics, but if you request it at http://shortcat.userecho.com/ and enough people vote it up, I'll make it a priority :)

Also, is Bartender more stable now? I had issues with it not working well when I first heard about it a few months back.

It's been pretty stable for me, the latest feature of momentarily unhiding icons if they change is great. Allows me to see when Dropbox is syncing or Time Machine backing up. Only issue I have is with apps that have transparent modals that won't trigger via keyboard shortcuts (Translate Tab). Definitely recommend it though if you like things tidy.
