I’ve been a paying user since 2015. This makes me sad, as it’s one of my most beloved utilities and this isn’t a good look. I’ll keep running it without updating until it stops working or I find a replacement that I like. Also:

It’s honestly wild that the core feature of Bartender (hiding icons in the menu bar) isn’t builtin to macOS.
You can use Hidden for this - https://github.com/dwarvesf/hidden
If you hold command you can click on an icon and drag it out to remove it or drag it left or right to reorganize the menu bar icons. Baked in, no extra app needed
Removing isn’t the same as hiding.
That’s a real shame. I’ve been trying to find a replacement for Bartender for ages, but I can’t seem to find anything that matches up. Every alternative I’ve tested just isn’t as good, so I always end up back with Bartender.
How about Ice?
Thanks for sharing! Do you know if it can show/hide icons based on screen size? I used to only hide my icons when I’m not connected to a larger screen with Bartender.
@ASeriesOfPoorChoices @land Just FYI, Ice won’t yet let you change the spacing between icons like Bartender does but if that’s a concern see https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice/issues/67
There is Dozer but it is pretty basic.
Dozer hasn’t been updated in the last five years.
Good point, I didn’t notice.
