'''FMenu''' is 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
'''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§ion=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.

Note that since version 3.1, there are separate downloads for users of Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 and above, due to 64-bit loading issues with Growl. However, there is no functional difference between the versions. The 10.5 and above binary is 64-bit and fully compatible with Snow Leopard.
