Hey MacBook lovers,
I built Lounge because I as frustrated with the lack of good menu bar manages on macOS Tahoe. I do not favor other alternatives(such as: bartender) , they require screen recording permissions.
The notch problem is real: it physically hides icons, so you can't even click on them. Lounge solves this with a notch-aware hover pane — just move your cursor near the notch and all your hidden icons slide into a beautiful, organized view.
Beyond that, Lounge brings drag & drop re-arranging, a keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+L), a clean single-panel settings UI.
It's $3.99/year with a 7-day free trial
Would love your feedbck! 🙏
@asktobuild Have you tested it with heavy menu bar users (10+ icons)? Does the hover pane stay smooth under load, or any lag on M-series chips?
@swati_paliwal Sure, there might be a slight delay if you have a large number of icons. I have over 10 icons, and it runs smoothly on my M1 and M3 MacBooks. Feel free to report any issues you encounter.

Having the MacBook notch swallow my background app icons is a daily annoyance when I have my whole dev stack running. Handling those safe area bounds programmatically is surprisingly tricky, so I am curious if you are relying on standard Apple APIs or doing custom display math to route icons around the notch. I am going to swap out my current manager today and see how Lounge handles my ridiculously bloated menu bar.
Thank you! @y_taka
Not standard Apple APIs, rather, be a custom display math method. You can view the interactive examples on YouTube
I have just updated this app. You can configure hooks of AI Agents with the Lounge App. This way, when your AI Agent completes a task or requires your approval, it will send a notification to the Lounge App, it will display a dynamic island with notification messages letting you know the latest status of your AI agents' tasks.
