Bartender

Bartender is a cool little app for your Mac that really helps you manage your status bar. If you're like most people, you probably have a bunch of apps running all the time, and it can get pretty messy up there!

Why Use Bartender?

With Bartender, you can keep everything organized in one menu. Instead of searching through a cluttered status bar, you’ll have access to all your favorite tools in one easy spot.

Simplifying Your Status Bar

When you've got too many menu apps, finding what you need can feel like a chore. But don’t worry! You can use the Bartender Preferences window to hide some icons or move them to the Bartender menu. This way, only the apps you use most often will be visible.

Customize Your Experience

You can even hide the Bartender menu itself and activate it with a hotkey! Just think about how much cleaner your status bar could look!

Getting Started with Bartender

To kick things off, open up the Bartender Preferences window and head over to the Menu Items panel. Here’s where you’ll see all the active menu items plus any system items. You get to choose what stays on your status bar!

Stay Updated with Notifications

If anything changes with your hidden items, Bartender will notify you right away. You can also decide how long those notifications pop up on your screen.

Limit What You See

Bartender lets you limit which items show up on your status bar to just the ones you frequently use. Plus, hidden items are still super easy to access—they can either stay as a single icon on the bar or be activated via a custom hotkey.
