Bartender is a menu bar organizer for macOS that automatically hides menu bar items to create a cleaner, less cluttered workspace.

  • Customizable hotkeys to reveal hidden items
  • Search functionality for menu bar items
  • Bartender Bar for organized access
Use Cases:
  • Reducing visual clutter on Macs with notches or small screens
  • Improving focus by hiding non-essential system utilities

  • Ice – Free, open-source alternative with similar hiding functionality
  • Hidden Bar – Lightweight, free app for basic menu bar hiding
