'''FMenu''' was 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, groups, and events, as well as 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
*A friend wrote a new note
*Someone wrote on your wall
*You have new messages
*You have new pokes
*You have new friend requests
FMenu checks for updates by default every 7 seconds (or at whatever interval you set), but checks for each kind of notification (friend details, friend requests, wall, messages/pokes, events) separately. Consequently each particular type of notification is refreshed once every 42 seconds.

'''Please note:''' this application will work with most of your friends. However, if you are not getting notifications for some friends, it probably means that they have opted out of releasing their info to applications using the Facebook API. Tell your friends to go to [http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy&section=applications&field=friends_share Facebook's Applications & Websites privacy settings] and make sure that the checkbox labeled ''Status updates'' is '''checked'''. Otherwise, FMenu has absolutely no way of retrieving that user's profile.
