PowerBar for Xero — Menu Shortcuts

PowerBar adds the menu shortcuts Xero users keep asking for. Built for the bookkeepers and accountants who are in those menus all day. Every feature below comes from a real request on Xero's product ideas forum. The seven free ones hold more than 550 votes between them and are all still marked "Gaining Support" — the oldest sitting there since July 2025. PowerBar ships them. WHAT YOU GET (free) • Statements in the Sales menu Xero hides customer statements behind Sales overview. One click instead of three. • Status submenus for invoices and bills Draft, Awaiting approval, Awaiting payment, Paid and Repeating, straight from the Sales and Purchases menus. No more loading the list to filter it. • A favourites bar Pin the screens you live in. They sit under the nav on every page. • Reconcile shortcuts Jump to any bank account's reconcile screen from the Accounting menu. • Financial settings shortcut The settings page you actually open, without the detour through the hub. • Quieter screens Hide the promotional and onboarding banners you have already read. Every feature has its own on/off switch. Turn off anything you don't want. PRO • Custom invoice PDF filenames Xero names every download "Invoice INV-0042.pdf". PowerBar names it "INV-0042 - Acme Ltd.pdf" so a folder of invoices is sortable by client. Your template, your naming. One less filing step in the bookkeeping routine. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T TRUST EXTENSIONS Bookkeepers and accountants work in client books. An extension in that browser has to earn it. • One permission. PowerBar can read and change pages on xero.com and nowhere else. Check the install prompt yourself — that is the whole list. • No data collection. No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking, no accounts. Nothing about your books, your clients or your browsing is sent anywhere. There is no server to send it to. • Free features are open source. Read the code before you install it: https://github.com/thoopring/powerbar-for-xero • It looks like Xero. Menu items are built from Xero's own components, so they match its type, spacing and behaviour. Nothing is bolted on. NOT AFFILIATED PowerBar for Xero is an independent product.
