Bartender is what I install on every Mac. So many apps fight for real estate on my top bar. Few of them are granted the privilege.
https://github.com/Mortennn/Dozer is a free, open source version of this
Unfortunately Dozer isn't great for Macs with a notch as it only folds out horizontally, whereas Bartender can fold out a menu below
Something I dislike about Bartender is that you have to upgrade your license every macOS upgrade, but I understand the devs need to eat
I use HIdden Bar. It's free and does the same thing
There were no subscriptions allowed, but it’s also in SetApp, an “App Store” with a subscription and it includes bartender and around 100 other Mac apps.
I don’t think so. Two paid upgrades in eight years.
Fascinating. I can see how useful it is. It is a surprisingly maclike third party app.
