I recently updated my ActiveApp MacOS statusbar application to run native Apple Silicon (ARM) rather than Intel (x86).

The App is built in XOJO 2021r3.1 using macoslib, a XOJO library, curated by Vidal van Bergen that extends XOJO’s capabilities to include programming the unique features and specifics of the MacOS and its UI that the vanilla cross-platform IDE ignores.

Active App puts a colour icon of the current foreground app at the top right of the screen, which when you click on it lists all the currently running apps that you can select from the drop down menu and switch to (like command-Tab). For me, just having the current foreground app icon displayed is useful as you don’t need to read the Application menu at top left to know what application is currently active.
