Ad Policy

A campaign buys placements in the Mac menu bar for about one minute at a time, shown to people using AdsInBar. You can track impressions, clicks, and country breakdown in the dashboard. We may change available targeting as the product develops.

We generally accept campaigns for:

• Software, developer tools, and productivity products
• B2B services, finance tools, and professional services (where legally allowed)
• Consumer apps, education, and lifestyle products that are appropriate for a work-facing menu bar
• Events, newsletters, and brand awareness that meet the content rules below

Creatives should be clear, readable at menu-bar size, and match the landing page you advertise.

We do not accept ads that promote, among other things:

• Illegal products or services, or content that violates applicable law
• Adult sexual content, pornography, or exploitative material
• Hate, harassment, or discrimination
• Weapons, explosives, or instructions for violent harm
• Deceptive claims, malware, phishing, or “get rich quick” scams
• Controlled substances and illegal drugs
• Misleading financial, medical, or investment guarantees
• Political campaign ads or highly polarizing issue ads (we may reject these even if otherwise legal)
• Anything that impersonates AdsInBar, Apple, or another brand without authorization

New campaigns are reviewed before they go live. Review typically checks creative, destination URL, claims, and category fit. We may ask for changes. Approval is not a legal endorsement of your product.

We may pause or stop a live campaign if we receive complaints, detect policy issues, or see invalid traffic. Remaining unused budget is handled according to the dashboard and Terms of Service.

The $15 minimum applies per campaign (or as shown at checkout). Billing is impression-based at the CPM shown when you launch. Unused budget does not automatically convert to a different pricing model.

If we reject or pause a campaign, we will try to say why when we can. To appeal, email support@adsinbar.com with your account email, campaign name, and a short explanation. Appeals are reviewed in good faith; we may still decline.
