Bartender lets you organize your menu bar icons, by hiding them, rearranging them, show hidden items with a click or keyboard shortcut and have icons show when they update.
Minding a crowded menu bar? Beyond Bartender, creators lean on Raycast to trigger apps and scripts fast, Hidden Bar to collapse rarely used icons, and Swish for fluid window and gesture control. Need quick access up top? Badgeify pins any app to the menu bar for glanceable status and clicks.
