Bartender is the original and best menu bar manager for Mac. Keep your menu bar clean by choosing which items stay visible, which hide away, and when they should appear. Reveal hidden icons with a click, search, hotkey, or trigger, so the tools you need are always close without crowding your screen. Bartender has been helping Mac users take control of their menu bar longer than anyone else, and Bartender Pro takes things further with Top Shelf — a smart way to use the MacBook notch area for widgets, file storage, clipboard access, AirDrop, live activities, and more.

Bartender Pro features
Take control of your menu bar
Choose what stays visible, what gets hidden, and what only appears when it’s useful. Bartender keeps your menu bar neat without making your apps harder to reach.
Hide and reveal items fast
Tuck away noisy menu bar icons, then bring them back in seconds. Use a click, hover, hotkey, or custom trigger to show the right items at the right time.
Find icons with search
No more scanning across a packed menu bar. Search for hidden or visible items and jump straight to the one you need.
Show items when they matter
Use Triggers to make menu bar items appear automatically when something changes. Keep things quiet until they actually need your attention.
Make the notch less annoying
Bartender helps manage menu bar space around the MacBook notch, so important items don’t disappear where you can’t reach them.
Go further with Bartender Pro
Bartender Pro adds Top Shelf, a handy space around the notch for tools and live info. Store files, manage your clipboard, AirDrop quickly, check widgets, control music, glance at your calendar, and keep an eye on live activities like meetings or running Claude Code and Codex sessions.

App version: 6.5.2
Sadly, this app is absolutely useless since the latest updates. It never saves my layout, extensions come and go in the menubar as they like, it's pretty wild. Frankly, I don't understand why this app is still on offer. (I mean, outside of Setapp they still sell it, which borders on theft, imho) Used to be great - not anymore. Sad.

Oooff - tough experience. Love the idea of it and the thought and understanding of what people are looking for, but my two-week long experience was me trying to fight the thing and I just couldn’t do it any more. People obviously swear by it, but I probably spent 2 hours a day tweaking the thing, which is honestly fun, but when half of the moves you’re making are reverted to their original place or somewhere altogher different it’s no bueno. Mised clicks nonstop, frozen bars, Mouse pointer jumping to another monitor. Would definitely come back if people say the water is nice again, but not for me right now!

Bartender Pro slows down the entire macOS UI and makes it unresponsive. Scrolling becomes choppy in every window across the system, and the only way to restore normal performance is to force-quit the app.
