Badgeify Update: Introducing App Groups for Powerful Menu Bar Management

With the latest update of Badgeify, we’re introducing App Groups. This new feature allows you to combine multiple applications under a single menu bar icon, offering a powerful solution for users who prefer a cleaner workspace.

Key Features of App Groups

1. Multi-App Consolidation: Group related apps together, such as all your communication tools under one icon.

2. Custom Group Icons: Choose unique icons for each group, making them instantly recognizable in your menu bar.

3. Aggregated Notification Counts: Display the total notification count for all apps within a group, giving you a quick overview of important updates.

4. Flexible Group Management: Easily add or remove apps from groups to adapt to your changing workflow.

How to Use App Groups

1. Create a New Group: Click the folder icon in the Badgeify application list.

2. Select Apps: Choose multiple applications you want to include in the group. These selected apps will form your new App Group.

3. Finalize Group Creation: After selection, Badgeify will automatically create an App Group containing these applications, sharing a single menu bar icon.

4. Choose an Icon: Select a representative icon for your new group. You can use default options or upload a custom SVG icon.

5. Customize Settings: Configure display options for your group, such as how notification counts are shown.

6. Enjoy a Cleaner Menu Bar: Your new App Group now appears as a single icon in your menu bar, representing all the included applications.

Why App Groups Matter
