'''FMenu''' is a program for [[w:Mac OS X|Mac OS X]] and [[w:Facebook|Facebook]] that sits in the menu bar (near the clock) and provides notifications about various events. In addition, it provides a menu to easily access common Facebook pages and keeps a count of your messages, pokes, events, friend requests, wall posts, and photo comments. It also features a "Quicklaunch" box which gives you immediate access to your friends' profiles (just start typing a friend's name and it will autocomplete â – press enter and go to that friend's profile) and Facebook searches (type a phrase and press enter). Notifications are issued using [[w:Growl|Growl]] and can be customized to the user's liking (including turning on/off and customizing display style). They are:
*A friend updated his profile
*A friend changed his status
The latest version is {{/version}}. It is a [[w:Universal Binary|Universal Binary]] and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or better.
*[{{/latestversion}} FMenu] for users who ''already have Growl installed on their system'' (.zip file)
*[{{/latestversion/Growl}} FMenu for all other users] â if – if you do not have Growl installed, FMenu will prompt you to install it automatically with no additional downloads required (.zip file)
