Take back your menu bar. Hide what you don't need, find anything in a keystroke, and make the bar look the way you want. Free and open source. Private by design: no tracking, no account, nothing ever leaves your Mac.
What's great
My menu bar was a mess of icons I never look at. Being able to hide the noise and actually search for an icon instead of hunting through a wall of tiny glyphs is such a simple fix for something that's bugged me for years. Free and open source is a big plus given how many menu bar utilities are paid or subscription only.
What needs improvement
Wish the launch page explained the permissions model more clearly. Rearranging other apps' menu bar icons usually needs Accessibility access, which is a pretty broad grant, and the privacy pitch would land harder with a plain explanation of exactly what that permission is used for.
vs Alternatives
Bartender 5used Bartender for years but stopped trusting it after it got sold off. Thaw does the same basic job of hiding and rearranging icons but it's open source, so at least I can see what it's actually doing on my machine.
