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 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: 6.6.2
Bartender war bislang und über viele Jahre eines meiner liebsten Tools auf meinem Mac. Doch seit macOS Golden Gate funktioniert Bartender in der aktuellen SetApp Version 6.6.2 leider nicht mehr. Hier fehlt die Kompatibilität. Das ist sehr ärgerlich. Hoffe, dass es über SetApp bald das Update auf die neueste Bartender Pro Version (7) gibt, vermutlich sind die Probs damit behoben. Bitte schnell updaten resp. v7 über SetApp verfügbar machen, so dass der Bartender seinen Job wieder wie gewohnt gut ausführt und den Mac-Alltag durch seine ordentlich aufgeräumten Menubars noch leichter macht. Dann gibt es auch wieder den Daumen hoch als Bewertung. Danke

Continually runs into bugs and glitches and feels like I am actively working against the application in an attempt to rangle it into the right shape
