Quick reveal. Set triggers for when to show menu items
Cocktails? Better. Bartender serves you menu bar items. The right ones. Right when you need them. Bartender is an app that controls, declutters, and supercharges your menu bar. If you don’t like the icons just sitting there — staring at you all day — Bartender is your thing. It tucks the menu bar away. Whenever you want to reveal it, just move the pointer up.
Set custom triggers
Most people don’t know about this, but you can personalize Bartender even more. Stay in your flow with the menu bar clean, and let yourself get distracted only by the important updates. Like your battery reaching a certain level, Wi-Fi connection lost, or specific app updating. Here’s how to set this up:
- Open Bartender > Show for Updates
- Customize default triggers or click the plus button to create the new one
- Save the changes.
New flow, new triggers. If you work with Dropbox a lot, you can set Bartender to reveal Dropbox updates. If VPN is essential, set triggers for your VPN app. You can even reveal menu bar icons based on scripts, which opens up tons of opportunities for personalization.
