Software Description: DoYourData Start Menu for Mac is a smart and comprehensive start menu/taskbar for OS X 10.7 – 10.11 and macOS 10.12 Sierra. It is a Mac start menu similar to the start menu on Windows, however, it is much more powerful that Windows start menu. DoYourData Start Menu for Mac can help Mac users easily access to applications, frequently used functions, manage disks. Start Menu X is compatible with Windows 10 and provides a conveniently fast way to launch programs from the system menu. It comes loaded with an eye-pleasing search bar (reminiscent of Windows Vista and 7), as well as providing you with an easy-to-use option for discovering items inside of documents.

I have been a Windows user for almost 10 years. I bought a MacBook yesterday. But I find the macOS 10.13 High Sierra is not very easy-to-use. Every time when I want to open an application I have to open the Launchpad first. Where is the start menu for macOS 10.13 High Sierra? I find an Apple icon on the left corner of the screen, but it is not the start menu. So I try to find a start menu software on the internet. I search free Mac start menu in Google. Frankly to say, there are not so many useful results. I have to open 5-7 links to find the right start menu for macOS 10.13 High Sierra. Fortunately, I find a useful one at the end.

I install it on my Mac and run it. It is fully compatible with macOS 10.13 High Sierra. This free start menu for macOS 10.13 High Sierra has more wonderful features than I think.

Download links for MinimServer 0.8 have been removed from this website. The MinimServer 0.8 packages in the Synology, QNAP and ASUSTOR package repositories will be updated to MinimServer 2 soon.

There are important differences between MinimServer 2 and earlier versions of MinimServer. Some features that were available free of charge in earlier versions of MinimServer require payment of a license fee in MinimServer 2. For details, see the License Options page.

MinimServer 2 Quick Start for Mac

This page provides basic information for installing MinimServer 2 on your Mac, getting up and running and performing some common tasks. If you have any questions about using MinimServer 2, please post them to the MinimServer forum.

Follow the instructions on the Installing MinimServer on Mac page, making sure that you use the correct download for installing MinimServer 2.
When you first start MinimServer 2 after upgrading from MinimServer 0.8.5, some of your property settings from MinimServer 0.8.5 might not be active or shown in MinimWatch 2. This is because you are running MinimServer 2 Starter Edition, which has limited configurability. Your previous property settings will be enabled automatically when you activate a free 30-day trial of the full version of MinimServer 2 or when you purchase and activate a MinimServer 2 full license.
When you first start MinimServer 2 after upgrading from MinimServer 0.8.5, MinimStreamer will not be installed.

To activate a free 30-day trial of the full version of MinimServer 2, open the MinimServer 2 configuration page by selecting Configure from the minim icon pop-up menu. Alternatively, you can type the URL http://x.x.x.x:9790 into the address bar of a web browser, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of your Mac.

For information about purchasing a MinimServer 2 full license, see this page. After purchasing the license, you need to activate it on your Mac. To do this, open the MinimServer 2 configuration page as described above, select the License tab and follow the instructions there.

Configuring MinimServer 2 property settings

When MinimServer 2 is running, there should be a small minim icon (musical note) in your Mac menu bar. If you click on this, you will see a menu with various selections.
Note: You can't interact with MinimServer via normal menu bar selections such as Edit and View. Also, there isn't a MinimServer application icon in the Dock. Instead, you need to use menu selections from the minim icon in the menu bar.
For details of how to use the minim icon to manage and configure MinimServer 2, see Controlling MinimServer using the minim icon.
For a list and descriptions of available property settings, see the Properties reference section.
Some MinimServer properties cannot be configured in Starter Edition (see the Starter Edition page).

To configure these properties, you need to either activate a free 30-day trial or purchase and activate a full license (see above).
When you activate a free 30-day trial or a full license, your saved configuration settings from MinimServer 0.8.5 will be restored automatically and will be visible in the Properties window. You can then make changes to these settings if you wish.

Installing and using MinimWatch 2

This section only applies if you need to configure MinimServer 2 from another computer instead of using the minim icon as described in the previous section.

To use another computer to configure MinimServer 2, you need to install MinimWatch 2 on that other computer. To do this, do the following:

Download MinimWatch 2 from the MinimServer 2 Downloads page. You need to use MinimWatch 2 because previous versions of MinimWatch are not compatible with MinimServer 2. MinimWatch 2 is compatible with MinimServer 2 and also with previous versions of MinimServer.
