It’s a buggy mess ever since the Tahoe BETA update. From the menu bar freezing, deorganising the icons to the screen capture ruining my mouse focus every couple of seconds.

I am still using Bartender 6.x but I am changing my rating because it is at v. 6.3.1 and it STILL is buggy as hell. When I go to check my layout, it just cycles as if it is looking something up. It never resolves. Bartender still slows the system down as it seems to randomly decide to rearrange things. ARGHH!!

Out of Beta, but still struggling. Apps disappear and/or won’t stay put. I’ll likely try it again in few months. Right now I’m using a mini where it isn’t that important, but I plan to get a Macbook.

Update after developer response: The 6.3.1 update fixed the system resource issue for me. Bartender still uses a bit memory than Ice but this is to be expected as it has more features. I’m happy with it now! Ice is still a good alternative but I give Bartender a positive recommendation as well. My original review: Works fine functionally but takes an exorbitant amount of system resources for its intended purpose. I recommend Ice Menu Bar instead.

This was one of the best utilties out there, but the Tahoe update has been a mess of weird cursor and icon behavior and CPU/memory usage. While I was a diehard user for years, I can’t reccomend Bartender in good conscience for now.

New version takes way too muc CPU-time, at random mouse bumps (screen capture at random), touchpad gets disactivated etc. This is an absolute disaster.

Latest version (6.3.0) causes my mac (15.7.3) working very slow. The scroll expereince is glitchy in all the apps: Slack, Safari, Chrome, etc. I had to stop using Bartender :(

It (finally) works properly with Mac OS Tahoe and multiple screens. I’ve been using for almost 10 years and wouldn’t trade it for anything. This app is perfect for managing the menu bar !

It used to work flawlessly but now none of the menu items stay pinned. It’s a useful app and I really hope they can get it working properly again.

Why does the menu bar even need to be rearranged? It didn’t behave like this before. Having my mouse suddenly taken over while I’m working is extremely frustrating. This is not something that should ever happen to users, regardless of “indexing” or background processing. Saying “it will settle once indexing is complete” doesn’t solve the real problem. The problem is that the app interrupts active user input in the first place. That kind of behavior should be avoided by design. I’ve been using BarTender for a long time, and I really liked it. But lately it has become so intrusive and distracting that I felt forced to write this review. I understand that Apple updates can cause a lot of headaches for developers, but please listen carefully to what many users are saying. Also, if people already took the time to write reviews here, why do they still have to contact [email protected] separately? You are already here. You can read what is happening directly from your users.

Stop stealing my mouse!! I will be working hard, and suddenly my mouse no longer functions. It’s stuck in the Apple menu because Bartender grabbed it while it rearranged the menu. This happens anytime there’s an update to a hidden item. It’s truly distracting. I’m starting to look for an alternative. Bartender is one of the main reasons I subscribe to Setapp. I will update this rating if the app improves.

I have been using for a long time but it is very unstable on Tahoe

Became very bugy thru updates. I just deinstalled it. _______ My first review, some versions ago: Awesome App! What I like probably the most, is that you can seperate the menubar in a left and a right part. I never even thought about it, but I love it!

On the latest version on Tahoe, it’s super jumpy and laggy. None of the “hidden” items actually hide and the whole thing constnatly refeshes. RAM usage goes mental after a while :(

It used to work well, I mean "used to," but since it pushed me version 6 Beta, it has become really abnormal. I can't properly arrange my system bar icons anymore, and dragging causes the cursor to jitter uncontrollably. Moreover, all the icons display as a single gray square. I have to quit and restart the application, but whenever I perform any dragging, the icons revert back to squares. The most strange thing is that I actually use version 5 on my other Mac, and this version 5 works much better. However, I have never found a way to go back from V6 Beta to V5. The experience of using V5 and V6 at the same time is both fragmented and terrible. Please let me switch back to the stable version. I have never applied for any Beta testing, and this is surely the worst experience.

Awesome App, sometimes the bar on top can get full of apps and this helpsyou hide them and made the top bar look more clean and empty :D

BarTender has been one of my ‘always installed apps’ for many years but now nothing seems to be able to tame the issues with Tahoe menu bars on multi-screen setups. The bar works on a single screen but on multi-monitor setups, some of the icons on ‘inactive’ screens is a mess of some icons being visible and most greyed out. I can’t add a screenshot here but it’s an annoying mess. Looking at my menu bars right now, on the main MacBook Pro screen that I am using, the full menu bar is visible, but on my 2 additional screens, i have a couple of icons that keep flickering as almost visible and then not, then one icon is visible, then about 5 blank spaces, then the battery icon, then a space (where an icon appears on the active screen) then the wifi and volume icon, then a space, then the 2 slider menu (for quick access to tools) then the date and time. It’s a mess that probably isn’t doen to failings of BarTender. Just an unsighly mess.

Doesn’t work without access to screen recording. I understand that some features may require this permission, but it would be great to be able to use the subset of features that don’t require it.

I have used bartender for years and it is a consistent source of annoyance, it consistently glitches and has to be restarted. Frustatingly it is the only menu bar app with mutliple profiles. However after upgrading to Mac OS Tahoe it is so glitchy it renders my computer unuseable. Switching to ice. Developer please get your stuff together and do better
