The menu bar icon and menu

Click the Sequence Shuttle icon in the macOS menu bar to open its dropdown menu — this is where you switch workspaces, mount and unmount projects, and manage Shuttle itself.

Workspace and project controls#

• Loading workspaces and projects… — greyed-out text shown briefly after you sign in, while Shuttle loads your workspace and project data. The controls below appear once loading finishes.
• Workspace — a submenu listing every workspace you belong to, with a checkmark next to the one you're currently in. Click a different workspace to switch to it.
  • If you belong to no workspaces, the submenu shows No workspaces available... instead, greyed out.
• Open Workspace in browser — opens your current workspace's URL in your default browser.
• Mount A Project — a submenu listing every project in your current workspace. Click a project name to mount it as a local drive (a volume that appears in Finder like any other disk); it shows up in Finder as a folder named after the project, under /Volumes/SequenceProjects/. Click a mounted project again — it shows a checkmark — to unmount it. See Mount and unmount your projects for the full walkthrough.
  • If the current workspace has no projects, the submenu shows No projects in workspace instead.

App controls#

• Settings... (Cmd+,) — opens Shuttle's main window, titled Sequence Shuttle, showing Shuttle's settings. The same item appears in the standard macOS app menu, where it replaces the usual Preferences entry. See Shuttle settings reference for what's inside.
• Open Log File — exports Shuttle's log file in the background. Use this when troubleshooting a problem with Shuttle, especially if support asks you for logs. See Troubleshoot Shuttle and keep it updated.
• Refresh — forces Shuttle to reload your workspace and project data from scratch. A small window titled Refreshing appears with the message Refreshing workspace… while this runs, then closes on its own when the refresh finishes; click Cancel on that window to dismiss it early. Use this if a workspace or project you expect to see isn't showing up.
• Check for Updates... — manually checks for a new version of Shuttle. This item is unavailable while a check is already underway, or if update checks aren't possible at the moment.
• Version — greyed-out text near the bottom of the menu showing the version number of the Shuttle release you have installed. When a newer version is available, an additional line reads Update available: v followed by that version's number.
• Logout — signs you out of Shuttle. When you're signed out, this item is replaced by Login, which starts the sign-in flow again — see Install Shuttle and sign in.
• Quit (Cmd+Q) — quits Shuttle.
