Charmling — 99 Lucky Charms for Your Mac Menu Bar

Bring a touch of charm, personality, and meaning to your Mac menu bar with Charmling.

Charmling features ninety-nine original 3D charms, each with its own story, personality, and interactive elements. With real physics, the charms hang and sway naturally from a virtual elastic cord, bringing a small sense of life to your desktop.

But Charmling can also be deeply personal.

Turn a photo of someone you love, your favorite pet, a meaningful object, or a special memory into a charm that stays with you throughout your day. It could be your child, a parent, your dog, a favorite car, something from an unforgettable trip, or simply an object that means something to you.

And some charms can actually grow with you. Keep a tiny pet dragon on your menu bar and watch it hatch and evolve over time, or care for a bonsai that slowly grows and flowers. They aren't just static decorations — they're little companions that change the longer they're part of your everyday life.

Your Mac is something you see every day. Charmling lets a tiny part of that space remind you of someone or something you care about.

Some charms bring luck.
Some make you smile.
Some grow with you.
And some simply keep someone you love a little closer. ❤️
