Would love to know more about what you have in mind for this when it makes sense to share :)

Currently the menubar has 7 list items for settings style things (link to feedback, license, about, settings, etc). I think you could really simplify that.
You could have a "Quick Settings" item which would be a submenu and then move License, About, and Check for Updates into that.
Then you could do the same for feedback and support to be an item that opens a submenu. That submenu could have: 'Troubleshooting & FAQ', Contact Support, Roadmap & Feedback options
So my proposed menu bar items would be:
[other interactive items]
Divider
Quick Settings > [About, License, Check for Updates]
Settings
Divider
Feedback & Support > [Roadmap & Feedback, Documentation, Email Support]
Divider
Quit
You could also optionally promote the License item to the main menu and out of the submenu only when the users license is in a suboptimal state like about to expire, not valid/active, etc
Simplifying these extra items would make the menu feel a lot more focused and useful. Currently when you look at it, it is way overloaded with these settings stuff that aren't really part of the apps value prop.

and then also promoting the items that are currently in the submenu controls like, start this break now, add 1 minute, etc should be in the top level menu.
and you currently have the auto-stop time as the first item but I don't really think that information should be the very first thing. it doesnt feel that important to me.
